Global Hematological Disorders Market 2017 - Regul

Dublin, Oct. 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Frontier Pharma: Hematological Disorders - Iron Regulators and Immune Response Targeted Programs Within Anemias and other Red Blood Cell Disorders Hold Potential to Transform Therapy Area with Significant Unmet Need" drug pipelines has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Summary Hematological disorders market is small and represents a significant investment opportunity. Due to few treatment options, many patients have a poor quality of life and poor prognosis, especially those with more severe disease states. Severe disease phenotype in cases of genetic disease correlates with a homozygous phenotype, as opposed to a heterozygous phenotype. For example, sickle cell anemia is a homozygous disorder, and sickle cell disease is a heterozygous disorder. The lack of pharmacotherapy treatment options means that alternative treatment approaches such as chronic blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants are used. Globally prevalent disorders such as anemias, of which the most common form - iron deficiency anemia - is estimated to affect over 13% of the world's population, represent significant investment opportunities due to the number of patients eligible for treatment. Although some forms of iron deficiency anemia are treatable with iron supplementation, other forms are hereditary in their etiology, such as iron malabsorption, and therefore require an alternative treatment approach to improve patient care. The therapy area also contains rare disorders of much lower prevalence, such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, which is classified as an orphan disease and has no currently marketed treatment options. Historically the hematological disorders therapy area has suffered from a lack of funding for research, leading to a low number of treatment options. However, first-in-class pipeline innovation is promising and 92 of 327 pipeline programs (28%) with a disclosed molecular target are first-in-class. Investment in first-in-class development is particularly important within hematological disorders as it holds the potential of achieving clinical breakthroughs through radical pharmaceutical innovation. A successful marketed product has the potential to gain a large market share due to the significant level of unmet need with regard to effective marketed treatment options.

Scope

• With 488 products in active development, the pipeline for hematological disorders is modestly sized. Does current pipeline innovation hold the potential to affect the future hematological disorders market?
• There are 92 first-in-class products in the hematological disorders pipeline, which act on a novel molecular target which is not present in an approved product across any indication the pharmaceutical industry. Which of these hold the greatest potential to improve future disease treatment with regard to their molecular target?
• Analysis of the history of strategic consolidations revealed a modest level of deal activity in recent years and a large number of first-in-class products not yet involved in any deals. How do deal frequency and value compare between target families and molecule types, and which first-in-class programs which have not yet been involved in a licensing or co-development deal appear to be particularly promising?
