Key Questions Answered

Although the standard treatments are effective in most patients, a growing number of patients are being discovered who remain uncontrolled by current therapy. Treatment of this patient segment presents a major unmet need in this market. There are other prominent unmet needs highlighted by the Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). What are these? Will the pipeline drugs fulfil these unmet needs of the market?

The five-year forecast period will mark the patent expirations of the major branded drugs in this market and the launch of three pipeline agents. How will the sales of the existing drugs be impacted? Which of the pipeline drugs will have the highest peak sales at the highest CAGR, and why?

What are the major R&D strategies employed by companies in this disease space? What do KOLs think of these strategies? What are other opportunities for new entrants seeking to enter this market?

Key Findings

One of the main drivers of the acromegaly and gigantism market during the forecast period will be the increased use of somatostatin analogs with better administration or dosing regimens; due to the recent focus on improving patient convenience for this chronic disease area.

Another strong driver will be the treatment of refractory patient segments, which will lead to an overall increase in the drug treatment rate.

Greater disease awareness and management of comorbidities are two of the biggest unmet needs in this market.

Variation in clinical trial methodologies have hindered direct comparison of drug efficacy rates. Trial design needs to be improved by incorporating more randomized, head-to-head, prospective studies.

The dominant trend among the pipeline drugs is towards development of novel drug delivery methods, rather than the exploration of new mechanisms of action.
