Abstract
Overview
Introduction
The neuropathic pain market is forecast to almost triple to over $6.3 billion by the end of the forecast period in 2017. The growth in the market is spurred on by the uptake of Pfizer' s Lyrica (pregabalin), forecast to reach almost $3 billion in sales by 2017. Vimpat is the most promising pipeline drug, forecast to take some $480m by 2017.
Scope
- Analysis of patient potential, unmet needs and clinical trial design in the neuropathic pain market.
- Overview of key marketed brands, late- and early-stage pipeline drugs.
- Country-specific sales volume and value forecasts to 2017 of marketed brands, generics, and key late-stage pipeline drugs.
- Identification of future market events that are expected to affect neuropathic pain revenues.
Highlights
UCB' s Vimpat (lacosamide) demonstrates the most potential in the pipeline and is well suited to compete in this market. Datamonitor has forecast Vimpat to generate over $480m, over a third of the total pipeline sales by 2017.
Neuropathic pain offers diverse market opportunities, with niche underserved neuropathic pain indications (e.g. HIV associated neuropathic pain) offering a good market entry point.
Following the recent negative FDA advice on Cephalon' s Fentora, Datamonitor has forecast that the drug will not launch for neuropathic pain. This is a blow to the development of a niche breakthrough neuropathic pain market.
Reasons to Purchase
- Benchmark key late-stage pipeline neuropathic pain drugs against current market leading brands.
- Assess country-specific (US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK) sales forecasts of key late-stage pipeline drugs and marketed brands.
- Understand unmet needs and opportunities in the neuropathic pain market based on key opinion leader comments.
