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. Global RNAi Therapy Report Findings: - Number of RNAi Based Drugs in Clinical Trials: 151 - Highest RNAi Clinical Trial in Preclinical Phase - Oncology Dominating the RNAi Based Drugs Clinical Trial Process - US Dominates RNAi Market & Clinical Trial Landscape Key Topics Covered: 1.

Global RNAi Drug Delivery Market 2014-2018: Read What's Trending
M2 - Wed Feb 19, 12:15PM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kv93pj/global_rnai_drug) has announced the addition of the "Global RNAi Drug Delivery Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global RNAi Drug Delivery market to grow at a CAGR of 21.80 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increase in RNA therapeutic development. The Global RNAi Drug Delivery market has also been witnessing some key technological advancements. However, the targeted delivery of RNA molecules is expected to pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc., Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,Merck & Co. Inc., and Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Access Pharmaceuticals Inc., Calondo Pharmaceuticals Inc., Dicerna Pharmaceuticals Inc., Marina Biotech Inc., PhaseRx Inc., Quark Pharmaceuticals Inc., RXi Pharmaceuticals Corp., Silence Therapeutics plc, Sirnaomics Inc., Tacere Therapeutics Inc., and Traversa Therapeutics Inc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: 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. 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.
