Global Alzheimer's Drugs Market 2014-2018 with Eisai Co. Forest Laboratories, Janssen Pharmaceuticals & Novartis Dominating
M2 - Fri Jul 11, 9:01AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wldkgv/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Alzheimer's Drugs Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The incidence rates for Alzheimer's disease are increasing, and the global Alzheimer's population is expected to double by 2030. Currently, it is estimated that 5 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer's disease are aged 65 years or above. This number might reach 13.8 million by 2050 as the baby boom generation ages. In the US, Alzheimer's disease is the fifth highest cause factor for deaths among people aged 65 years and above. It has been recognized as the only factor among the top 10 death-causing factors in America for which therapy is not available, preventing or slowing down the progression of disease. The number of deaths resulting from Alzheimer's disease increased by 68 percent during the period of 2000-2010 and this number is expected to increase further during the next decade. In the US, it is estimated that about 7,00,000 people aged 65 years or above will die from Alzheimer's disease in 2014. The incidence rate of Alzheimer's disease is increasing rapidly owing to a rise in the elderly population. In the US, the 2014 incidence rate of Alzheimer's disease for people aged 65 years or above is expected to reach 4,69,000 and this number is expected to double by 2050. According to the report, the Global Alzheimer's Drugs market is driven by several factors, of which the increase in the global aging population is one of the major drivers. The incidence of Alzheimer's disease is growing continuously, mainly because of an increase in the aging population, especially those aged 65 years or above. It is estimated about 596.8 million people will reach 65 years and above in 2014, and this number is expected to reach 681.2 million by 2018. Furthermore, the report states that one of the main challenges is the poor rate of Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. In developed economies, merely 20-50 percent of dementia cases are diagnosed while in developing economies such as India nearly 90 percent cases remain undiagnosed. The lack of diagnosis hampers the effective management of this disease.

Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE-4) Inhibitors Competitor Analysis 2014
M2 - Mon Jun 30, 8:40AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qxlm9z/competitor) has announced the addition of the "Competitor Analysis: Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE-4) Inhibitors" report to their offering. PDE-4 has become an attractive target for development of oral, inhaled and topical inhibitors for treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and many more diseases. Purchase of the downloadable pdf report includes a 6-month online access to the data of the report and any updates since the publication date. Credentials to access the database will be sent by e-mail and allow online work with the project data to print or export an individual report. Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE-4) inhibitors have attracted considerable interest as potential therapeutic agents for inflammatory diseases of the lung, the skin and the gastrointestinal tract, but recently also for diseases of the nervous system. PDE-4 inhibitors are known to reduce elevated cAMP concentrations in inflammatory cells, leading to inhibition of inflammatory response, relaxation of smooth muscle in the airway, and modulation of sensory nerves in the lung as well. Many first and second generation PDE-4 inhibitors have failed in early development due to low therapeutic ratios with nausea and emesis being the main adverse effects. Several PDE-4 inhibitors have advanced to late stage clinical development or even regulatory approval for treatment of COPD and psoriatic arthritis. Other inflammatory diseases for which PDE-4 inhibitors are being evaluated clinically, include psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, rosacea, allergic conjunctivitis, and multiple sclerosis. Age-associated memory impairment and Alzheimer's disease are also studied clinically as indications for PDE-4 inhibitors. The report includes a compilation of currently active projects in research and development of predominantly small molecules specifically or unspecifically inhibiting phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE-4). In addition, the report lists company-specific R&D pipelines of PDE-4 inhibitors. Competitor projects are listed in a tabular format providing information on: - Drug Codes - Target / Mechanism of Action - Class of Compound - Company - Product Category - Indication - R&D Stage and additional comments with a hyperlink leading to the source of information Key Topics Covered: 1. Oral and Inhaled Non-Selective PDE-4 Inhibitors 2. Oral and Inhaled Seletive PDE-4 Inhibitors 3. Topical PDE-4 Inhibitors 4.

Takeda Announces Termination of Orteronel (TAK-700) Development for Prostate Cancer in Japan, U.S.A. and Europe
Business Wire - Thu Jun 19, 1:00AM CDT
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TSE:4502) announced today that it has voluntarily decided to end the development program for orteronel (TAK-700) for prostate cancer. The decision follows the results of two Phase 3 clinical trials in metastatic, castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The studies found while orteronel plus prednisone could extend the time patients lived before their cancer progressed, it did not extend overall survival in these patients. After careful consideration of the data from these trials, the company has determined that the drug has not demonstrated a clinical profile sufficient to move forward in mCRPC, given the availability of other therapies.

The electronic cigarettes market was valued at USD 1,662.5 million in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 33% from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 12,238.4million in 2019. Key players in the e-cigarettes market include VMR Products LLC, NJOY, Lorillard, Inc., Nicoventures and Altria Group. Electronic cigarettes is the largest and the fastest growing segment in the smoking cessation market. More than 80% of the e-cigarette market share lies with Europe and North America. Regulation of e-cigarettes as medical devices or tobacco products are still in debate. Lobbyists across the globe are trying to influence regulatory agencies to ease restrictions on e-cigarettes. Although this has not yet affected market growth, restrictions and bans on the use of e-cigarettes may adversely affect market growth in the near future. Smoking cessation products are a better alternative for tobacco and cigarette addicts. Smoking cessation products market comprises nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products, prescription drugs and electronic cigarettes. With the rising incidences of lung cancer, and other diseases such as respiratory and cardiac disorders due to smoking, governments of various countries have started taking initiatives for controlling cigarette addiction. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that 2011 witnessed around 44 million adults addicted to cigarette smoking in the U.S.,with majority being from the low-income class. Higher taxes on tobacco products, ban on smoking in public places, benefits and assistance for smoking cessation therapies were some of the important policies implemented in order to motivate addicts to quit smoking. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products comprise nicotine gums, patches, lozenges, sprays, inhalers and sublingual tablets. All these products are available over-the-counter, except for Nicotrol nicotine inhalers and nasal sprays which are sold only with prescription. The regulations on sales of NRT products differ from country to country. Nicotine gums are the oldest products in the market and cover around 38% share of the total NRT market. The market for nicotine lozenges is expected to grow at a faster rate owing to convenient use, low cost and easy availability. Nicotine transdermal patches are the second most widely used NRT products for smoking cessation. Major players in the NRT market include GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and Johnson & Johnson. First line drug therapy for smoking cessation includes Zyban by GlaxoSmithKline, and Chantix (Champix in countries other than the U.S.) by Pfizer. The drug therapy market has suffered from consistent criticism, as suicidal attempts were reported by patients prescribed with either of these drugs. For the same reason, sales of these drugs has been witnessing decline for the past few years.
