Latest Key Takeaways
- Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body. The publisher estimates that in 2018, there were approximately 80.5 million cases in Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, Northern America, and Oceania combined.
- The publisher forecasts the number of prevalent cases of CHF to increase by 9.1% between 2018 and 2027. These trends are driven by population demographics, as prevalence proportions were held constant throughout the forecast period.
- The CHF market is expected to grow significantly over the next 10 years across the US, Japan, and five major European markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK). The CHF market has predominantly been saturated with generics, which has limited the market revenue. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors remain the current standard-of-care therapy, and are used in every line of treatment except when using Entresto. However, there are a growing number of late-stage pipeline therapies, which, combined with the rising disease prevalence, will be the major drivers of market growth.
- Despite initially encountering reimbursement challenges which led to a slower than expected uptake, Entresto reached blockbuster status in 2018 and maintained solid growth in 2020, reaching global revenues of $2,497m. Continued uptake of Entresto in the CHF market due to favorable recommendations in treatment guidelines and its proven ability to reduce mortality will be a key driver of market growth. Entresto’s recent label expansion in the US to include the broad CHF population, based on the PARAGON-HF trial in HFpEF patients, will also contribute to growth.
- High prices of branded therapies will translate into high revenues, despite the large number of generics on the market. The SGLT-2 inhibitors, Jardiance and Farxiga, will be major market growth drivers, as they are expected to experience strong uptake in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. SGLT-2 inhibitors are expected to capture the greatest market share in diabetic patients due to the convenience and cost-saving benefit of using one medication for two indications.
- Generic entry of dapagliflozin, ivabradine, and sacubitril/valsartan will attenuate market growth towards the end of the forecast period.
- The CHF market is becoming an increasingly active space, with 10 drug candidates currently in Phase III. Therapies in mid-to-late-stage development for CHF focus on a wide variety of targets, and include both oral and injectable drug candidates.
- The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I CHF asset is 6.2%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 47.6%. CHF drugs, on average, take 10.2 years from Phase I to approval, compared to 10.1 years in the overall cardiovascular space.
- Numerous high-impact upcoming events for drugs in the CHF space are expected in 2021, including Phase III trial results for a number of different drug candidates, such as data from Jardiance’s Phase III EMPEROR-Preserved trial.
