Report Description
Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease of the brain which leads to loss of memory and cognitive functions. With ageing world population, the number of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease is expected to increase in the future. There is a huge unmet need in the market owing to lack of effective, disease-modifying drugs.
Alzheimer’s treatment is a high risk, high reward market. Drugs currently available in the market have reached maturity; patents of leading drugs have either expired or are close to expiry. The current unmet needs represent a huge opportunity for pharmaceutical companies which are developing targeted novel therapies. If successful, they will be in a position to command premium prices and tap the existing opportunity.
The pipeline for Alzheimer’s drugs is rich, with drug developers looking for drugs with disease-modifying ability rather than just symptomatic treatments. However, the recent failure of several Alzheimer’s drugs in late stage clinical trials present the challenges of developing disease-modifying drugs for areas with an unknown cause. The uncertainty related to the cause of disease, along with unexpected side effects of drugs due to differential responses by individual brains, pose major challenges for drug developers.
Amongst other things, this report provides a detailed overview of the most promising pipeline drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s. The market is desperate for a therapy that can slow or reverse disease progression. The next five years, from 2012-2017, will see the launch of many new drugs.
Scope of the Report
The 'Alzheimer’s drug market (2012-2017)' report extensively examines the various aspects of the disease’s development, commercial and pipeline drugs, associated challenges and initiatives taken by various countries to tackle the disease’s spread and raise consumer awareness.
The report focuses on both the regional and global trends centred around drug use and development in the following two key segments:
A key objective of the report is to establish the likely evolution of leading drugs, generics and launch of new drugs across the different regions in the world. The report discusses various historical / future trends which have shaped / will shape the US, European and Japanese markets. The research, analysis and insights presented in this report do not include the sales of any diagnostic tests or radiopharmaceuticals available in the market for Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
The market forecasts across different segments, regions, brands have been presented till 2017. 2011 is the base year and actual figures have been taken, analysed from publicly available information. Unless otherwise specified, all figures are presented in USD.
While the leading brands, companies and chemicals are considered thoroughly, the report also provides details on the pipeline drugs in various stages of clinical trials.
