Latest Key Takeaways

The publisher estimates that in 2018, there were 345.8 million prevalent cases of osteoporosis among adults aged 50 years and older worldwide, and forecasts that number to increase to 427.8 million prevalent cases by 2027.
The osteoporosis market is set for moderate growth during the forecast period, primarily driven by growth of Amgen’s Prolia in the US, Japan, and EU until its loss of patent exclusivity allows biosimilars to enter the market.
Although the uptake of anabolic therapies will increase in terms of volumes, the value of this class is expected to decrease, due primarily to Forteo’s loss of exclusivity coupled with the arrival of two cheaper anabolic therapies in the US. Tymlos is expected to take significant market share from Forteo due to its competitive efficacy profile. Evenity’s growth will also contribute to the reduction in volume of Forteo, primarily due to a favorable efficacy profile and convenient monthly dosing over 12 months. However, while physicians may have found a way to mitigate the black box warning for increased CV risk (particularly by excluding patients with prior myocardial infarction, stroke, or CV risk factors), this will remain a growth barrier for Evenity.
Use of anabolic therapies remains limited due to their nature as injectable therapies (daily in the case of Forteo and Tymlos), which is associated with poor compliance and adherence. Radius Health is aiming to overcome this with a transdermal formulation of Tymlos. Once approved, the favorable delivery route of the transdermal patch will enable it to capture the majority of the anabolic market in the US.
The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I osteoporosis asset is 4.7%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 72.2%. Osteoporosis drugs, on average, take 10.4 years from Phase I to approval, compared to 9.7 years in the overall endocrine space.
The US, Canada, and the UK have seen the greatest number of osteoporosis trials, globally. Within Asia, Japan has the top spot.
Clinical trial activity in the osteoporosis space is dominated by completed trials. Novartis has the highest number of completed clinical trials for osteoporosis, with 120 trials.
