Abstract
The market for rheumatoid arthritis therapeutics has experienced remarkably
strong growth during the past five years due to the introduction of the
biological response modifiers (BRMs) to treatment regimens. The value of this
market will reach nearly $13 billion by 2011. Sales of both Remicade and
Enbrel continue to grow, while the introduction of Humira in 2003 has been a
major stimulus to the market. All three of these products are now approved in
both the US and Europe for rheumatoid arthritis. Added to this mix in 2006 was
Rituxan and Orencia, which will both have an impact in the patient population
unresponsive to other BRMs. As half-year 2006 revenues clearly indicate,
revenues from the sales of all of these products will continue to trend
positively in 2007.
The rheumatoid arthritis pipeline today is replete with biologic therapies
designed to modify the course of the disease. There are a number of follow-on
biologic products being developed, which, like Remicade, Enbrel and Humira,
target TNF-a. Additionally, though, companies are investing in candidates
which target other cytokines that have been implicated in disease development.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapeutics: Market Trends and R&D Insights is arranged
to provide readers with an analytically-based overview of the market for
rheumatoid arthritis therapies as well as an assessment of therapeutics
currently in clinical development. The report focuses primarily on the class
of rheumatoid arthritis therapeutics known as the biological response
modifiers (BRMs). These drugs currently account for the vast majority of sales
in this therapeutic area and will continue to make a strong impact in the
coming years.
Key features of this report:
- An assessment of the current status of key products on the market and
emerging products with significant growth potential.
- Analysis of key clinical trials as a means of determining future success
in the market
- Forecast financial growth of this sector as a whole as well as provide
revenue forecasts for key products in the field (all forecasts through 2011)
- Identification of trends and issues that will have a significant impact on
the rheumatoid arthritis market
- Important background about the disease, its etiology, patient population
and financial impact of RA
