Dublin, Aug. 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c6...l_diabetic ) has announced the addition of the "Global Diabetic Neuropathy Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
R&D activities in the Diabetic Neuropathy sector are growing in terms of an increase in the number of mergers and acquisitions. Big pharmaceutical companies take up later-stage products from small companies, where efficacy has already been demonstrated, thereby cutting down initial R&D expenditure.
For instance, in March 2013, BioDelivery Sciences International Inc. in-licensed a patented topical formulation of clonidine gel from Arcion Therapeutics Inc. for the treatment of indications including diabetic neuropathy. In July 2013, Acorda Therapeutics acquired two candidates for neuropathic pain including NP-1998, a topical capsaicin solution, from NeurogesX Inc. In-licensing by big pharmaceutical companies, in turn, diverts funds to be spent by the smaller companies on marketing and commercialization to R&D development.
According to the report, the Global Diabetic Neuropathy market is driven by several factors, of which the increase in the global diabetic population is one of the major drivers. The incidence and prevalence rate of diabetes is growing continuously, mainly because of the adoption of a sedentary form of life and unhealthy eating habits accompanied by increased life expectancy.
