Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6dhrqp/global_rnai_drug) has announced the addition of the "Global RNAi Drug Delivery Market 2014-2018 with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Isis Pharmaceuticals.,Merck & Co & Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Dominating" report to their offering. The Global RNAi Drug Delivery market to grow at a CAGR of 21% to 2018. According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increase in RNA therapeutic development. Therapeutic benefits greatly depend on the efficiency of the RNA delivery to specific diseased cells. This factor is the key to the development of RNAi drug delivery technologies and the market associated with it. Major advances in RNAi drug delivery are aimed at developing better delivery agents with excellent efficacy and the ability to target specific cells. For example, Bio-Path Holdings Inc. developed systemic delivery of antisense, small interfering RNA, and hydrophobic small molecules for treatment of various diseases using its neutral lipid drug delivery technology (neutral liposome). Similarly, Inovio's skin electroporation technology was used for the successful delivery of small interfering RNA molecules to skin in animal studies. Thus, technological innovations would further contribute to the growth of the Global RNAi Drug Delivery market. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the targeted delivery of RNA therapeutic molecules. During in vivo drug testing procedures, many companies engaged in developing RNA therapeutics found it difficult to deliver the RNA molecules to specific tissues to bring about a therapeutic effect. Key vendors dominating this space are: - Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. - Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc - Merck & Co. Inc. - Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp.. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02.

Global RNA Interference (RNAi) Therapy Market Outlook 2018
M2 - Tue Apr 01, 6:58AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hthtnb/global_rna) has announced the addition of the "Global RNA Interference (RNAi) Therapy Market Outlook 2018" report to their offering. The popularity of RNAi technology has been increasing in recent times as is has become a major component of basic research, and in drug discovery. Over the years this technology has become an integral part of the process of determining the functions of gene, in analyzing pathways, and in the validation of the target both in academia and in industry. Since discovery, RNA interference is considered to be a turning point for molecular biology, it is most likely that this technology would grow in terms of its popularity and the significant research activity would be recorded in order to develop efficient and safe drug delivery mechanisms based on the RNAi therapy. Being a powerful tool for the study of functional genomics, this therapy provides enables the scientist to successfully silence any gene with artificial triggers of RNAi and utilizing the cellular machinery for efficient targeting of complementary transcripts. There are specific strategic reasons for the pharmaceutical industry to take interest in developing RNAi-based therapeutics. With the existing product pipelines exhausting for the big pharma companies, they are currently looking into RNAi therapeutics as potential fields which would enable the pipelines to be filled. Additionally, these companies have identified RNAi therapeutics to have the capability to target those diseases which are considered to be undruggable by small-molecule compounds or biologics. Thus, by investing in RNAi therapeutics at an early stage, the pharma companies would be able to build a strong foothold and have a commanding position in the market once these RNAi-based drugs reached the market. The RNAi therapy market, in the future years is likely to witness an increased level of activity in terms of RNAI technology development, specifically in the space of drug delivery. Though the main concept and clinical results behind RNAi are compelling, the pharma companies are still working towards identifying some new ideas which have great opportunity to grow. With human proof of concept demonstrated, it is most likely that the RNAi companies would reformulate new delivery technology and enjoy the benefits.

PR Newswire - Mon Mar 31, 8:30AM CDT
Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISIS) announced the final results from its Phase 2 study of ISIS-APOCIIIRx in patients with high to severely high triglycerides on stable doses of fibrates. In this study, patients treated with ISIS-APOCIIIRx achieved average reductions of up to 71 percent in apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III) and up to 64 percent in triglycerides, and average increases of up to 52 percent in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), the 'good' cholesterol. While the starting average triglyceride level in the 300 mg group was 384 mg/dL, 70% of these patients reduced their triglyceride level to below the normal level of 150 mg/dL. In addition, lipoprotein particle analysis showed significant dose-dependent reductions in the number of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles and significant increases in the number of HDL particles. These new data for ISIS-APOCIIIRx were presented today by Dr. Vickie Alexander at the American College of Cardiology meeting in Washington DC.
