Market Insights
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and currently incurable disease, and potential or supportive treatments have only emerged in the last decade. However, the currently available treatments are lacking in terms of efficacy or target-specificity. There are two types of drug classes used in treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, acetylcholinesterase (ACE) inhibitors and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. ACE inhibitors constitute of galantamine hydrochloride, donepezil hydrochloride and rivastigmine; NMDA receptor antagonist includes mematidine hydrochloride. Since the discovery of what plaques and tangles comprised in Alzheimer’s – amyloid β (Aβ) peptide and hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) protein respectively. Immense research and development has been carried out to develop therapeutics which can limit the rate of synthesis, reduce the toxicity or clear these factors from the brain. However, these attempts have been largely unsuccessful. Hence, considering the continuously rising Alzheimer prevalent population, as well as limited drugs available for treatment, Alzheimer’s disease presents a lucrative opportunity for an effective disease-modifying therapy to enter the market.
Pipeline Analysis
The phase III drugs included in the pipeline analysis are ENA713 (Novartis Pharmaceuticals), Flutemetamol (18F) (GE Healthcare), LY450139 (Eli Lilly and Company), Dimebon (Medivation, Inc. & Pfizer, Inc.), and Aripiprazole/ BMS-337039 (Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Inc.). The overall pipeline for Alzheimer's is still very much dominated by small molecule drugs. However, there is still a considerable number of biologics in the pipeline with total 86 molecules, represented across all stages of development. According to market experts, the diversity of the several molecule types in the biologic group shows a certain level of innovation, with newer avenues being explored in accounts of recent failures. Overall, late stage clinical trials have highlighted very few molecules that could potentially replace current treatments during the forecast period.
