Acromegaly and Gigantism Therapeutics – Pipeline Assessment and Market Forecasts to 2017

Acromegaly and Gigantism Therapeutics Market is Forecast to Show Moderate Growth until 2017
By: Rajesh Gunnam
 
Aug. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- GlobalData estimates that the global Acromegaly and Gigantism therapeutics market is worth $1,272m in 2010, after increasing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8% during 2005–2010. However,
during 2010–2017, the market is expected to record a CAGR of 5%, to reach $1,821m by 2017. The acromegaly and gigantism therapeutics market is expected to grow during forecast period due to expected launch of drugs with novel mechanism of action and newer formulations of existing product at
premium price that would increase patient compliance and drive the market growth during the forecast
period. Patent of Sandostatin LAR Depot (octreotide) is expected to get expired in the US by the end of
November 2014 and has already been expired in the European countries in July 2010. However, the patent expiration of Sandostatin LAR would have a little effect on the market growth as Sandostatin LAR
is biologics, and bio-similar of these drugs would be available at competitive prices provided guidelines for the launch of bio-similars are implemented. Market is expected to show moderate growth due to expected launch of pasireotide LAR (SOM230), which is novel somatostatin analogue with more affinity towards receptors. Also, the expected launch novel formulation of existing products such as octreotide (C2L) implant would help to drive the market growth due to increased patient compliance and increasing number of treated patients.

GlobalData analysis suggests that approximately 46% of the global acromegaly and gigantism therapeutics market is unserved. This implies that the acromegaly and gigantism therapeutics market is
not well-served by the current products. There is a significant unmet need for a novel, safe and effective
therapeutic which can normalize Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF) in acromegalic patients. The first line
treatment for acromegaly is a surgical resection of adenoma. The relapse after surgical treatment is common approximately 30-40% of cases relapse with disease after surgical treatment. These surgically
relapse cases require for further medical therapy. Currently, used drugs in acromegaly offers only moderate efficacy. Sandostatin LAR Depot had effective in controlling tumor size. A strong pipeline will
drive the market in the forecast period, with 14 molecules in various phases of pre-clinical and clinical
development, including two product extension molecules and one first-in-class molecules in Phase III.
One of the Phase III molecules pasireotide has showed better efficacy and safety profile in clinical trial.
Pasireotide LAR is second generation somatostatin analogue which has higher affinity to somatostatin
receptor subtypes somatostatin 1–3 and somatostatin 5.This makes pasireotide more potential and more effective than currently available octreotide and lanreotide by suppressing of growth hormone secretion. Pipeline candidates provide hope for the acromegaly treatment paradigm. Octreotide implant which is currently in Phase III can deliver octreotide up to six months showed in current studies with no serious side effect observed. Overall octreotide implant results might improve patient compliance, over currently used daily regimen and monthly formulations of octreotide. The significant unmet need can be addressed by drugs in future that have a dosage convenient regimen with better safety and efficacy results as compared to the currently available products in the market for the treatment of acromegaly

GlobalData found that the current competition in the acromegaly and gigantism therapeutics market is weak. The weak competition is due to few marketed drugs available for acromegaly. The current product offers only moderate safety and efficacy profile. Only somatostatin analogues showed tumor shrinkage in acromegalic patients. Overall, significant tumor shrinkage was demonstrated in 35% of patients who were on somatostatin analogues. Growth hormone receptor antagonist, Somavert does not showed reduction in tumor shrinkage. Current options available for acromegaly does not completely satisfy the patients’ needs, physicians looking for better treatment options in terms of safety, efficacy and dosage patterns for better compliance. The market scenario expected to change after the launch of pipeline products such as pasireotide LAR, octreotide Implant and octreotide
