Introduction
- Despite the presence of well tried and liked compounds for the treatment of diabetes, such as insulin, metformin and sulfonylureas and the recent introduction of new classes such as TZDs, AGIs and PGRs, there are still important unmet needs in the treatment of diabetes. As a result, a great surge of activity towards the discovery and development of new agents has been recently noted.
Scope of this report
- Evaluation of patient potential for developmental antidiabetics over the period 2004-2012
- Scrutiny of key impacts on the R&D approach and cost, evaluation of optimal clinical trial end points and identification of suitable comparators.
- Evaluation of key players in the antidiabetics market and opposing company approaches to development and commercialization
- Analysis of key antidiabetic drugs in development and their ability to satisfy major unmet needs and compete with existing agents
Research and analysis highlights
- One of the most exciting classes of agents in development is GLP-1 agonists. There have been suggestions that these agents will exhibit efficacy over an extended period of time and that they will offer some effect on beta-cell preservation. However, these findings need to be conclusively proven through specifically designed trials.
- DPPIV inhibitors are expected to enter the market in the following years. Their main advantage is their mode of administration. They will be available as pills or capsules, contrary to GLP-1 agonists that will be injectable. This makes them far more attractive and is likely to help their faster uptake and increased patient compliance.
- Dual PPAR agonists were once hailed as the next big development in the diabetes treatment. However the recent withdrawal of many leading agents following safety concerns has prompted the FDA to request additional safety data before considering the approval of such compounds. This development will severely delay the progress of dual PPAR analogs.

CHAPTER 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- Scope of the analysis
- Datamonitor insight into the diabetes market
- Despite the presence of well tried and liked compounds for the treatment of diabetes, such as insulin, metformin and sulfonylureas and the recent introduction of new classes such as thiazolidinediones (TZDs), alpha glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) and prandial glucose regulators (PGRs), there are still important unmet needs in the treatment of diabetes.
- One of the most exciting classes of agents in development is GLP-1 agonists, these aim to address two of the main unmet needs in diabetes treatment, prolonged efficacy and the potential to act on the underlying cause of the disease rather than on its symptoms.
- Another class of agents expected to enter the market in the following years are DPPIV inhibitors, these are targeting the same biochemical pathway as GLP-1 agonists, but instead of supplementing the natural pool of GLP-1, they attempt to inhibit the enzyme responsible for its breakdown.
- Dual PPAR agonists were once hailed as the next big development in the treatment of diabetes. However the recent withdrawal of many leading agents following safety concerns has prompted the FDA to request additional safety data before considering the approval of any such compounds. This development will severely delay the progress of dual PPAR analogs
