This Market Spotlight report covers the Dry Eye Disease market, comprising key marketed and pipeline drugs, clinical trials, recent events and analyst opinion, upcoming and regulatory events, probability of success, a 10-year disease prevalence forecast, and licensing and acquisition deals, as well as presenting drug-specific revenue forecasts.
Key Takeaways
- The publisher estimates that in 2020, there were 1.52 billion prevalent cases of dry eye worldwide, and forecasts that number to increase to 1.72 billion prevalent cases by 2029.
- The approved drugs in the dry eye space focus on a wide variety of targets. The majority of approved drugs are administered via the topical route, with one product available as an intraocular/subretinal/subconjunctival formulation.
- The majority of industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for dry eye are in Phase II, with only one drug in the NDA/BLA phase.
- Therapies in development for dry eye focus on a wide variety of targets. The majority of pipeline drugs are administered via the topical route, with the remainder being intranasal, oral, and intraocular/subretinal/subconjunctival formulations.
- High-impact upcoming events for drugs in the dry eye space comprise topline Phase II trial results for NRO-1, ECF843, and OTXCSI; topline Phase IIb trial results for AR-15512; topline Phase III trial results for MIM-D3 and CyclASol; and an expected PDUFA date for OC-01 Nasal Spray.
- The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I ophthalmology-other asset is 22.8%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 55%. Drugs, on average, take 8.6 years from Phase I to approval, compared to 8.9 years in the overall ophthalmology space.
- The distribution of clinical trials across Phase I–IV indicates that the majority of trials for dry eye have been in the late phases of development, with 56% of trials in Phase III–IV, and only 44% in Phase I–II.
- The US has a substantial lead in the number of dry eye clinical trials globally. France leads the major European markets, while Japan has the top spot in Asia.
- Clinical trial activity in the dry eye space is dominated by completed trials. Novartis has the highest number of completed clinical trials for dry eye, with 87 trials.
- Novartis leads industry sponsors with the highest overall number of clinical trials for dry eye, followed by AbbVie.
