Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A route to larger CNS markets?
Datamonitor, March 2003, Pages: 42
Introduction:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an orphan neurodegenerative disease which effects less than twenty thousand people across the seven major markets. Nevertheless, ALS is set to provide a platform for drugs for use in more widespread conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD) or Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).
Scope:
- Epidemiology and prevalence data
- Current treatment and unmet market needs
- Analysis of trial data, the therapeutic potential of current and future drugs and drug classes
- Analysis of key issues in the ALS and orphan disease market supported by key opinion leader interviews
Report Highlights:
ALS is one of many orphan diseases in the CNS arena. If significant return of investment is to be realized in this market, both existing and future players must address the lack of disease awareness amongst physicians.
Currently the only prescription drug approved for ALS is Aventis’ Rilutek (riluzole). Despite the fact that, many physicians doubt its true therapeutic value, Rilutek sales topped $100m in 2002. This demonstrates the scope for commercial opportunities which can be further increased by seeking approval for lucrative indications such as AD or PD.
Reasons to Purchase:
- Assess the ALS patient potential
- Identify the key unmet needs and diagnostic tools, which would highlight novel targets
- Review the therapeutic and commercial potential of drugs and compounds in clinical trials based on ALS expert opinion and trial data
