Abstract
Summary
This new 75+ page, August 2010 report provides a complete briefing on the emerging importance of epigenetic research in drug and diagnostic development.
Category: Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, Epigenetics
META Description
Epigenetics is an active and exciting area of research that is being driven by
the massive amounts of new information being generated by currently available
research tools, the potential for effective new therapies in areas of unmet
medical need and new diagnostic, screening or pharmacoepigenomic tests.
Significant investment is being made into basic research and will enable
standardised, whole epigenome maps that will be freely available for
additional research and analysis. This research will develop our understanding
of the interplay between different epigenetic mechanisms, and has the
potential to uncover new drug targets.
Commercially available products - current and near term
The development of new drugs and diagnostics based on our understanding of
epigenetic mechanisms and the ways in which they cause changes in gene
expression, is an area of research which has produced commercial products.
Whilst four drugs have already been marketed in this area, these represent the
tip of the iceberg. Scientists have now identified large numbers of individual
enzymes responsible for making specific alterations to histones and these are
the focus of drug discovery efforts. miRNA is also a growing field in terms of
both therapeutic and diagnostic development.
In addition to the four currently marketed drugs for epigenetic targets, more
than six additional drugs will reach the marketplace over the next decade.
These first generation products will be replaced in the longer-term by more
selective inhibitors of a wide range of novel epigenetic targets such as
histone methylases and demethylases, histone acetylases, and readers
(bromodomains and chromodomains).
Broadening the therapeutic horizon
Current pan- and class-selective histone deacetylase inhibitors will be
improved upon by the next generation of selective inhibitors. These offer
perhaps the greatest potential as they may be applicable outside the oncology
arena where the burden of toxicity must be low. The development of this
generation of targeted compounds will be undertaken alongside companion
diagnostic tests, helping to generate the best outcomes for individual
patients in the future.
Epigenetic Biomarkers
Over the next five years a number of new diagnostic tests will enter the
market based on the identification of epigenetic biomarkers. These tests will
focus on cancer and will progress from tissue or fine needle aspirate-based
diagnostic tests, to far less invasive bodily fluid (blood, sputum, urine)
based screening. Prognostic markers that will guide treatment decisions are
also on the radar. Further into the future these tests will broaden into
therapeutic areas other than cancer.
