Summary

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a relatively rare group of acquired clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysfunctional hematopoiesis leading to cytopenias, with the potential to transform into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DNA damage and mutations are the predominant factors contributing to MDS development and progression. As such, aging and the associated accumulation of mutations over time appear to be the most important risk factors for the disease. Clonal shifts in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells due to mutations, cytogenetic alterations, and modified epigenetic marks can promote the expansion of abnormal, dysfunctional cells. In symptomatic MDS, these cellular changes manifest in pathophysiological changes including fatigue, bleeding and bruising, and increased risk of infection.

The greatest drivers of growth in the global MDS market include the launch of 10 new pipeline therapies during the forecast period and a growing number of incident cases in many 7MM countries due to an aging population.

The main barriers to growth in the MDS market include the launch of generics and biosimilars of major brands, including Vidaza (azacitidine), Revlimid (lenalidomide), and Aranesp (darbepoetin alfa), and the dominance of safe and effective generic and biosimilar products in the first-line setting for both LR-MDS and HR-MDS.

Among the late-stage pipeline products, KOLs were particularly enthusiastic about BMS’s recently approved anti-anemia agent, Reblozyl (luspatercept) for the treatment of LR-MDS and Aprea Therapeutics’ eprenetapopt plus azacitidine combination therapy for the treatment of TP53 mutant HR-MDS.

The most important unmet needs in the MDS disease space are the needs for novel therapeutics targeting difficult-to-treat patient groups including patients with HR-MDS and LR-MDS who fail the standard of care; LR-MDS patients with symptomatic neutropenia and thrombocytopenia; and more generally, HR-MDS patients, the majority of which are ineligible to safely receive HSCT, which is the only currently available curative therapy option.

KEY QUESTIONS ANSWERED
  • Therapeutic goals for patients with MDS differ depending on whether patients have lower or higher risk disease.
  • How do the treatment goals for patients with HR-MDS and LR-MDS differ?
  • How well are currently marketed therapies addressing the different needs of patients with higher and lower risk MDS?

With the launch of ten new pipeline agents expected between 2018 and 2028, the publisher expects the MDS competitive landscape to undergo a significant transformation during the next decade
  • What are the main R&D trends in the MDS market and which companies are leading the way?
  • In what ways is clinical trial design for LR-MDS and HR-MDS changing and what aspects do KOLs believe should be addressed in the future?
  • Are there major differences in the mechanisms of action used by therapies in late-stage versus early-stage clinical development?
  • Despite the recent burst in pipeline development for MDS, KOLs interviewed by the publisher still noted a continued high level of unmet need for therapies targeting difficult-to-treat populations of patients.
  • Which MDS patient populations have the greatest unmet need and why?
  • How can the pharmaceutical industry address these needs?
  • To what degree will the therapies under development fulfill these unmet needs?
