Currently the ME and AMD markets are dominated by the use of anti-VEGF monotherapy, however, in recent years, corticosteroid implants have been reaching the ME market which could challenge the stronghold these drugs have in this sector. The AMD market will see the arrival of the first therapies to treat dry AMD, fulfilling a huge unmet need in the management of this retinal disease, and these first-in-class therapies will strongly drive the market growth over the next ten years. The launch of wet AMD adjunctive therapies will also see a significant change in the treatment of AMD patients and have a positive impact on the market growth. Optina is an orally-administered, ultra-low-dose capsule reformulation of the steroid danazol that is in Phase III of clinical development by Ampio Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of DME. An effective non-surgical drug treatment for DME is a high unmet need, and Optina is the only drug in late-phase development addressing this need. Scope - Overview of Macular Edema and Macular Degeneration, including epidemiology, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, pathology and treatment guidelines as well as an overview on the competitive landscape. - Detailed information on Optina including product description, safety and efficacy profiles as well as a SWOT analysis. - Sales forecast for Optina for the top country from 2013 to 2023. - Sales information covered for the US.

PharmaPoint: Macular Edema and Macular Degeneration - Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2023
M2 - Mon Mar 23, 12:07PM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xb5dx3/pharmapoint) has announced the addition of the "PharmaPoint: Macular Edema and Macular Degeneration - Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2023" report to their offering. Age-related Macular Degeneration Treatment Market Value to Exceed $10 Billion by 2023 This report provides annualized Macular Edema (ME) and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) treatment market revenue, annual cost of therapy and treatment usage pattern data from 2013 and forecast for ten years to 2023. Key topics covered include market characterization, unmet needs, research and development, and clinical trials assessment for the ME and AMD therapeutics markets. The Age-related Macular Degeneration treatment market across seven major countries (the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Japan) will almost double in value from $5.1 billion in 2013 to $10.1 billion by 2023, according to research and consulting firm The authors. The company's latest report* states that the main drivers for this considerable expansion, which will occur at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.1%, are the new therapies entering the market and a global aging society, which will lead to increasing numbers of elderly people developing the age-related retinal disease. Catherine Daly, Ph.D., The authors's Analyst covering Neurology and Ophthalmology, says: The global AMD treatment market is overwhelmingly dominated by anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) drugs, including Lucentis, Avastin, and Eylea, which together accounted for 98% of sales for AMD in 2013. However, the anti-VEGF monopoly is set to take a dramatic tumble due to the launch of novel adjunctive therapies for wet AMD, Fovista and squalamine, and the introduction of two therapies for dry AMD, lampalizumab and emixustat, during the forecast period. These entrants will cause the anti-VEGFs' stronghold on the market to drop to 64% by 2023. The US accounted for 49% of the global AMD therapeutics market in 2013 and will achieve a 55% share by 2023, with its market value forecast to more than double from $2.5 billion to $5.6 billion over the same period. Daly comments: The new therapies entering the market will be the main drivers of growth in the US, with the wet AMD drugs Fovista, squalamine, and abicipar pegol launching in 2017, 2018, and 2020, respectively. Fovista is undergoing an extensive Phase III development program, and the data released to date have shown that this drug provides added benefit over the standard of care (anti-VEGF monotherapy). This indicates that the drug will enjoy good market success during the forecast period, with its US sales reaching $603 million by 2023.
