Uveitis Therapeutics - Pipeline Assessment and Market Forecasts to 2017

April 12, 2011 - PRLog -- GlobalData expects the global uveitis therapeutics market to grow at 26.4% annually for the next seven years, from $317m in 2010 to reach $1.6 billion by 2017. This significant growth is primarily attributed to increasing therapeutic options for the treatment of uveitis. In addition, the successful launch of some targeted therapies such as Luveniq (voclosporin), AIN457 and the approval of Humira may significantly stimulate market growth in the near future. However, the complex etiology of the condition will continue to be a barrier for market growth.

GlobalData’s analysis reveals the current competition in the uveitis therapeutics market is weak and the available treatment options have only been moderately successful in meeting market demand. The products currently available in the market are associated with low safety and as the products currently available do not serve the market’s unmet need the market continues to present opportunities for stronger pipeline candidates. The extent of unmet need in the uveitis therapeutics market is considered to be at a high level and can be filled by technologically advanced products possessing improved safety and efficacy profiles which are disease targeting.

GlobalData’s research found that there are currently 20 products in different stages of development. Luveniq, currently in NDA Filing and AIN457 and Humira in Phase III are the most promising products in the pipeline. Luveniq, AIN457 and Humira have shown encouraging response rates in pretreated patients and have great potential in the uveitis therapeutics market. If approved, other pipeline candidates (currently in several other phases of development) will provide alternative treatment options to the current therapies. These products are expected to meet some of the unmet need and will provide physicians with a better choice in treating uveitis but may also lead to an intensely competitive market.

The current uveitis market is weak and the corticosteroids and immunosuppressant treatment options leave moderate levels of unmet need. The currently marketed treatment options have low safety profiles. Although uveitis is one of the leading causes of blindness, the medications available to reduce the inflammation have a low safety profile.
