Global Single Use Bioreactor Market Outlook, 2019: Thermo Fischer Scientific, Sartorius, Merck, GE Healthcare & Pall Corp Dominate the $200+ Million Market
M2 - Wed Nov 19, 11:43AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/k5b5rm/single_use) has announced the addition of the "Single Use Bioreactor Market by Product Type, Cell Type, Technology, End User - Global Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. The single use bioreactors (SUBs) market is expected to grow at a double digit CAGR of 18.4% to reach $470.9 million by 2019 from $202.5 million in 2014 Major factors fueling the growth of this market are low requirements of capital investment for setting up the facility, reduced complexity of automation, and energy efficiency. However, regulatory concerns regarding the mixing process, contamination by leachables and extractable, and difficulties in meeting good manufacturing practices (GMP) standards are restricting the growth of the single use bioreactor market. The single use bioreactor market is segmented on the basis of molecule type (monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), vaccines, gene therapy, recombinant proteins, stem cells, and others (growth factors, interferons, antisense, RNA interference)), type of cell (mammalian cell, bacterial cell, yeast cell and others (insect cell and plant cell)), technology (wave-induced motion SUBs, stirred SUBs, single-use bubble column bioreactors, and others (single-use reactors with vertically perforated discs and single-use hybrid reactors)), end users (R&D (CROs, biopharmaceutical manufacturers, and research institutes) and biopharmaceutical manufacturers), and region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, RoW). MAbs is the largest segment of the single use bioreactor market by molecule type. The high growth rate of this segment can be attributed to the growing demand for SUBs in small-scale manufacturing of MAbs as a result of low investment costs, low requirement of manpower, reduction in time-consuming changeover procedures. The mammalian cells segment of the market by type of cell is the largest and fastest-growing segment, owing to successful employment of SUB for mammalian cell cultures for clinical and commercial drug manufacturing. The R&D department of CROs, biopharmaceutical manufacturers, and research institutes is the major end-user segment of the single use bioreactor market.

Ezetimibe/simvastatin used in a fixed-dose combination Significantly Reduced Cardiovascular Events More than Simvastatin Alone in Patients Presenting with Acute Coronary Syndromes in the Investigational IMPROVE-IT Study
CNW Group - Wed Nov 19, 10:15AM CST
Merck, known as MSD outside of Canada and the United States, announced on November 17, 2014, that the investigational IMPROVE-IT study met its primary and all secondary composite efficacy endpoints. In IMPROVE-IT, patients taking the LDL-cholesterol-lowering medicine ezetimibe/simvastatin in a fixed-dose combination - the fixed-dose combination of ezetimibe/simvastatin is not available in Canada; the individual components: simvastatin (ZOCOR®) and ezetimibe (EZETROL®) are available in Canada - experienced significantly fewer major cardiovascular events (as measured by a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, re-hospitalization for unstable angina or coronary revascularization occurring at least 30 days after randomization) than patients treated with simvastatin alone. The results from this 18,144-patient study of high-risk patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes were presented on November 17 during the late-breaking clinical trials session at the American Heart Association 2014 Scientific Sessions.
