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) 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.
