Global Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH) Analysis 2015 - Disease Prevalence, Drugs in Development, Regulatory Guidelines and Market Opportunities
M2 - Fri Dec 11, 9:09AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m95wfc/nonalcoholic) has announced the addition of the "Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH): An Analysis of Disease Prevalence, Drugs in Development, Regulatory Guidelines and Market Opportunity in Various Geographies" report to their offering. Sales of Hepatitis C drugs crossed -$10bn in 2014 proving that treatments for liver disease could become mega-blockbusters and Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH) is expected to be equally lucrative. Improved diagnosis rate and change in treatment guidelines along with defined clinical trials endpoint are the concerns for the emerging therapy. US FDA is expected to release guidelines for the clinical trial in CY16 and this should accelerate the development of the drugs targeting NASH. NASH is the progressive form of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease - NAFLD. While NASH can reverse itself, in many cases, the resulting liver scarring causes a patient's liver to harden and failure to work properly. It is estimated that NASH affects 2 to 5% of the US population. Other developed countries such as Europe and Japan also have similar or higher incidence of NASH disease. Due to the varying physical and metabolism traits across various geographies, development of drugs for NASH is facing difficulty. In Japan, the prevalence of NASH is rising although the population is not typically overweight. Countries like India and China with bigger population and changes in lifestyles face a greater risk of NASH along with other lifestyle diseases like Diabetes and Cardiovascular related complexities. As per the US Association of Liver Disease, of those who develop NASH, -15-25% will progress to end stage liver disease (ESLD) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) over 10-20 years. Today, 1/3rd of Liver transplants and HCC are caused by NASH and the total cost burden of this on US is over -$5 billion per year. Only new treatments in NASH could lead to a cut in this major cost burden along with improving quality of life. Since a new innovation in NASH has been enlightened, the interest in companies developing drugs for NASH has also gone up. In Jan. 2015, Gilead Sciences (GILD) acquired Phenex Pharma's Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) program comprising small molecule FXR agonists for the treatment of liver diseases including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and other Liver Diseases. Merck-NGM Biopharma and Boehringer Ingelheim - Pharmaxis also entered into an exclusive agreement for the pipeline products which are being developed for NASH with a potential deal value of -$450-600mn. This report will provide detailed analysis on NASH disease and Drugs in development in broader pharma market. This report list all the drugs in clinical trial and their design and the population recruited, also tells about the pathways representing possible targets for the treatment of NASH. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Overview of NASH 2.1 Possible targets for the treatment of NASH 2.2 Drugs in the pipeline 2.3 Key Milestones 2.4 Drivers of M&A/ Licensing deals in NASH 2.5 NASH disease market opportunity to 2025 3.

Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Commercial Opportunities - Pipeline Analysis & Forecast Report
M2 - Mon Dec 07, 8:47AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/p3853f/nonalcoholic) has announced the addition of the "Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) - Pipeline Analysis" report to their offering. NASH Facts: - 10% of the adult population in U.S has NASH - NASH can occur in all age groups and even in children but mostly it is diagnosed in the patients between the age of 40-60 - NASH affects between 9.5-16 million people in United States accounting for 3 to 5 % of the population - NASH is a third leading and rapidly increasing indication for liver transplants accounting for 10% of liver transplants in U.S. - In America, the obesity rate has doubled in adults and tripled in children in the past 10 years which would impact the prevalence of NASH in the coming years, being one of the major risk factors for NASH - NASH has the potential to become one of the leading cause of end stage liver disease, liver transplantation, and hepatocellular carcinoma in the next decades This report enables Pharmaceutical/Biotech companies, Academic institutes, Individual researchers, Investors, Medical technology companies, Service providers and other associated stake holders to identify and analyze the available licensing/collaborative commercial opportunities in the Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) Drug market. The report also provides strategic insights on medicines that are likely to have an impact on future NASH treatment space. As some of the candidates are nearing key R&D milestones, there is a huge competition among large pharmaceutical and biotech companies to acquire these assets. Gilead's acquisition of Phenex FXR program & Boehringer's acquisition of NASH clinical asset from Pharmaxis supports this trend. Diagnosis of NASH still requires histological confirmation and there is a great demand for specific non-invasive diagnosis for distinguishing NASH from other liver diseases. Therefore, there is a need to develop better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for patients with NASH. There is a tremendous opportunity for upcoming therapies specific to NASH such as MAbs, RNA-based therapies & Recombinant proteins. These modalities may provide Anti-fibrosis, Anti-inflammatory and metabolic benefits.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) - 2015 Pipeline Analysis
M2 - Tue Jul 21, 3:00AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kf56cl/nonalcoholic) has announced the addition of the "Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) - Pipeline Analysis" report to their offering. This report gives comprehensive insight on the various drugs being developed for the treatment of NASH. The report covers all the drugs being developed in various phases (Discovery, Preclinical & Clinical development). The pipeline focuses on novel medicines covering small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant proteins and RNA-based therapeutics, but excludes Off-label, symptom relief drugs, generic combinations. The report also covers hot targets in research for NASH treatments and disease progression biomarkers. This report enables Pharmaceutical/Biotech companies, Academic institutes, Individual researchers, Investors, Medical technology companies, Service providers and other associated stake holders to identify and analyze the available licensing/collaborative commercial opportunities in the Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) Drug market. The report also provides strategic insights on medicines that are likely to have an impact on future NASH treatment space. NASH is associated with fatty liver, hepatic inflammation, hepatocyte injury and fibrogenesis and may worsen into fibrosis or cirrhosis, liver failure and rarely into liver cancer. Currently, there are no approved drugs for NASH by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and there a high unmet clinical need. NASH, if untreated can progress to liver-destroying cirrhosis and potentially cancer. Majority of the NASH pipeline drugs are from specialised small to mid pharmaceutical & biotech companies. As some of the candidates are nearing key R&D milestones, there is a huge competition among large pharmaceutical and biotech companies to acquire these assets. Gilead's acquisition of Phenex FXR program & Boehringer's acquisition of NASH clinical asset from Pharmaxis supports this trend. Diagnosis of NASH still requires histological confirmation and there is a great demand for specific non-invasive diagnosis for distinguishing NASH from other liver diseases. Therefore, there is a need to develop better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for patients with NASH.

Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Commercial Opportunities - Pipeline Analysis & Forecast Report
M2 - Mon Dec 07, 8:47AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/p3853f/nonalcoholic) has announced the addition of the "Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) - Pipeline Analysis" report to their offering. NASH Facts: - 10% of the adult population in U.S has NASH - NASH can occur in all age groups and even in children but mostly it is diagnosed in the patients between the age of 40-60 - NASH affects between 9.5-16 million people in United States accounting for 3 to 5 % of the population - NASH is a third leading and rapidly increasing indication for liver transplants accounting for 10% of liver transplants in U.S. - In America, the obesity rate has doubled in adults and tripled in children in the past 10 years which would impact the prevalence of NASH in the coming years, being one of the major risk factors for NASH - NASH has the potential to become one of the leading cause of end stage liver disease, liver transplantation, and hepatocellular carcinoma in the next decades This report enables Pharmaceutical/Biotech companies, Academic institutes, Individual researchers, Investors, Medical technology companies, Service providers and other associated stake holders to identify and analyze the available licensing/collaborative commercial opportunities in the Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) Drug market. The report also provides strategic insights on medicines that are likely to have an impact on future NASH treatment space. As some of the candidates are nearing key R&D milestones, there is a huge competition among large pharmaceutical and biotech companies to acquire these assets. Gilead's acquisition of Phenex FXR program & Boehringer's acquisition of NASH clinical asset from Pharmaxis supports this trend. Diagnosis of NASH still requires histological confirmation and there is a great demand for specific non-invasive diagnosis for distinguishing NASH from other liver diseases. Therefore, there is a need to develop better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for patients with NASH. There is a tremendous opportunity for upcoming therapies specific to NASH such as MAbs, RNA-based therapies & Recombinant proteins. These modalities may provide Anti-fibrosis, Anti-inflammatory and metabolic benefits.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) - 2015 Pipeline Analysis
M2 - Tue Jul 21, 3:00AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kf56cl/nonalcoholic) has announced the addition of the "Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) - Pipeline Analysis" report to their offering. This report gives comprehensive insight on the various drugs being developed for the treatment of NASH. The report covers all the drugs being developed in various phases (Discovery, Preclinical & Clinical development). The pipeline focuses on novel medicines covering small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant proteins and RNA-based therapeutics, but excludes Off-label, symptom relief drugs, generic combinations. The report also covers hot targets in research for NASH treatments and disease progression biomarkers. This report enables Pharmaceutical/Biotech companies, Academic institutes, Individual researchers, Investors, Medical technology companies, Service providers and other associated stake holders to identify and analyze the available licensing/collaborative commercial opportunities in the Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) Drug market. The report also provides strategic insights on medicines that are likely to have an impact on future NASH treatment space. NASH is associated with fatty liver, hepatic inflammation, hepatocyte injury and fibrogenesis and may worsen into fibrosis or cirrhosis, liver failure and rarely into liver cancer. Currently, there are no approved drugs for NASH by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and there a high unmet clinical need. NASH, if untreated can progress to liver-destroying cirrhosis and potentially cancer. Majority of the NASH pipeline drugs are from specialised small to mid pharmaceutical & biotech companies. As some of the candidates are nearing key R&D milestones, there is a huge competition among large pharmaceutical and biotech companies to acquire these assets. Gilead's acquisition of Phenex FXR program & Boehringer's acquisition of NASH clinical asset from Pharmaxis supports this trend. Diagnosis of NASH still requires histological confirmation and there is a great demand for specific non-invasive diagnosis for distinguishing NASH from other liver diseases. Therefore, there is a need to develop better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for patients with NASH. There is a tremendous opportunity for upcoming therapies specific to NASH such as MAbs, RNA-based therapies & Recombinant proteins.
