Huntington's Disease - Opportunity Assessment and Forecast to 2030

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare, autosomal-dominant, neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by impaired motor control, cognitive dysfunction, behavioral changes, and mood disorders. Depending upon the age of disease onset, HD can be classified into two forms: the more traditional adult-onset HD and the less prevalent juvenile-onset HD (JHD), also known as the Westphal variant of HD.

Approved treatments for HD across US, UK, and Germany are extremely limited, consisting of only two symptomatic treatments, tetrabenazine and deutetrabenazine, which are approved for the treatment of HD-associated chorea. Other treatment options contributing to the HD market are off-label off-patent symptomatic drugs including antipsychotics, antidepressants, benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, antiparkinsonian drugs, and botulinum toxin. To date, no disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) are available for the treatment of HD, and the current treatments are used in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms associated with this progressive disease.

Neurocrine’s Ingrezza (valbenazine) is expected to launch in the US in 2023, and it will directly compete with Teva’s Austedo (deutertabenazine). Huntexil (pridopidine) is expected to launch in 2025 in the US and in 2026 in Germany and the UK. As it will target the non-choreic symptoms, it will likely be prescribed on top of other treatments, or it will replace some off-label drug use.
