"CF is a genetic disease caused by an abnormal gene, affecting more than 70,000 people worldwide "
CF is a genetic disease caused by an abnormal gene, affecting more than 70,000 people worldwide and ranked as one of the most prevalent life-shortening disease. It is most commonly diagnosed in populations of white caucasian descent, such as those of Europe, North America and Australasia. Currently, the median predicted age of survival for a person with CF is more than 37 years. GlobalData has found that the CF market has huge unmet needs compared to other markets, and that patient still show moderate responses to the two currently approved key products (excluding Zenpep). The market is wide open for novel entrants to change the current treatment paradigm. The options in the market are only for symptomatic treatment which targets the antibiotic therapy and mucus regulations in CF patients. Other treatment therapies, such as pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, ion channel therapy, mucolytic, and anti-inflammatory drugs, hope to become the leading products in the treatment of CF and the market is expected to be a relatively open until 2015 with huge opportunities for value capture.
GlobalData has found that products for CF in the developmental pipeline are strong with over 88 molecules in various phases of clinical development. There are eight first-in-class molecules in Phase III stage of clinical development and these have a distinct advantage over the current marketed players. These molecules are primarily first-in-class molecules displaying the robustness of the CF pipeline as the market is demanding new entrants with novel treatments and re-formulation designs to improve the lung functions and overall patient and physician satisfaction.
There are 10 molecules in Phase III, while the Phase II pipeline is rich and comprises 44 molecules and forms 50% of the total CF pipeline. Cayston (aztreonam lysine), Denufosol tetrasodium inhalation solution (INS37217), VX-770, Bronchitol and Ataluren (PTC-124) are the key products currently in Phase III with features such as better efficacy, better tolerability and safety profiles. Pipeline is rich with novel therapies and mechanisms, also the clinical studies have shown these products with better safety and efficacy profile, which are hoping for an effective treatment options for patients with CF.
