Alzheimer’s disease is both progressive and irreversible, moreover, the cause of the disease is not yet well understood. It is important to generate awareness about the disease among the general population and stay updated with the innovation and research engaged in this domain
-- Key Opinion Leader and Chief Medical Officer, Large-sized US based Company
Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by progressive memory loss, cognitive dysfunction anddementia. Currently, it is the most commonly reported neurodegenerative disorder across the world, and the sixth leading cause of death in the US. It was estimated that, in 2018, nearly 5.7 million Americans (considering all age groups) were living with Alzheimer’s disease. During the same year, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias were projected to be responsible for a healthcare burden amounting to USD 277 billion, in the US. Considering that only a limited range of diagnosis, treatment and disease management solutions are presently available, this segment of the healthcare industry is presently faced with a pressing need for accurate diagnostic (predictive) tests, and efficient treatment options that have the capability to slow the progression of the condition.
Despite extensive research aimed at comprehending the etiopathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, only six drugs have been approved since 1996 for treatment. The rate of failure of drugs being developed for treating Alzheimer’s disease is alarming (~99.6%) and is even higher than that reported for cancer (~81%). Most of the existing therapeutic options have proven inadequate in arresting the progression of the disease and long term management of associated symptoms. Currently, several stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry are engaged in efforts to develop various types of disease modifyinginterventions and drug / therapy candidates that offer symptomatic relief. In fact, multiple initiatives by start-ups are being backed by venture capital and other strategic investors. In the coming years, the market is anticipated to grow at a significant pace as more novel solutions clear clinical evaluation and get commercialized.
The “Alzheimer’s Disease Market: Pipeline Review, Developer Landscape and Competitive Insights” report provides an extensive study on the marketed, clinical and preclinical molecules available / being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Figure 1.1 summarizes the scope of the report and the specific modules that have been covered in detail in the document.

Amongst other elements, the report includes:
The research, analysis and insights presented in this report is backed by a deep understanding of insights gathered from secondary sources. The opinions and insights presented in this study were influenced by discussions conducted with multiple stakeholders in this domain. The report features detailed transcripts of interviews held with the following individuals (in alphabetical order of company name):
All actual figures have been sourced and analyzed from publicly available information forums and primary research discussions. Financial figures mentioned in this report are in USD, unless otherwise specified.
Chapter 2 provides an executive summary of the insights captured in our research. It offers a high-level view on the likely evolution of the Alzheimer’s disease market in the long term.
Chapter 3 provides a brief introduction to Alzheimer’s disease, and its associated symptoms. It also features a detailed discussion on the causes of the condition (based on various existing hypotheses), stages of disease progression, factors influencing the onset and progression of the disease, and the different pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions that are presently indicated for the treatment of this condition. The chapter includes a discussion on the epidemiology of the disease and highlights the diverse initiatives / programs led by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support scientific discovery and help in disease management.
Chapter 4 includes information on over 200 molecules that are currently approved / under development for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. It features a comprehensive analysis of pipeline molecules, highlighting the phase of development (marketed, clinical and preclinical / discovery stage), type of molecule (small molecule or biologic), treatment type (disease modifying agent or drugs offering symptomatic relief), target stage of disease (early, mid or late stage), type of therapy (monotherapy or combination therapy), path to clinics (dedicated, repositioned or repurposed), and mechanism of action and route of administration of the drugs being developed for the treatment of the disease. In addition, the chapter provides information on drug developer(s), highlighting year of their establishment, location of headquarters and employee strength. In addition, it presents certain key insights derived from the study, which includes a representation highlighting the distribution of the marketed and pipeline molecules based on various mechanisms of action. The chapter includes a comprehensive 2X2 grid analysis, representing the distribution of the clinical drug candidates across type of therapy, path to clinic and stage of development. Additionally, the chapter features a regional landscape of developers engaged in this domain, distributed on the basis of the location of their headquarters.
Chapter 5 highlights the key unmet needs associated with the management and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The chapter provides detailed analysis of the various challenges and areas of concern, which wereidentified from views expressed by patients / experts across different platforms, such as social media posts, recent scientific publications and patient blogs, and the inputs of key opinion leaders at conferences / symposiums. The chapter presents an insightful word cloud analysis, summarizing the opinions expressed across public online portals.
Chapter 6 features a detailed assessment of over 70 discontinued drugs, providing information on the reason(s) for discontinuation, year of discontinuation, mechanism of action of the terminated drugs, phase of discontinuation and the target stage of disease. In addition, the chapter presents over 180 terminated clinical trials highlighting the year of termination and the key geographies where these trials were being conducted.
Chapter 7 provides a detailed analysis of close to 300 research articles related to Alzheimer’s disease, published till 2018. The analysis takes into consideration several parameters, such as biological targets being studied, study type (review article, research article, meta-analysis and clinical trials), year of publication, and the most popular journals within this domain.
Chapter 8 features an analysis of the various collaborations and partnerships that have been inked amongst players in this market. We have also discussed different partnership models (including product development and commercialization, R&D agreements, technology / product licensing agreements, other licensing agreements, mergers / acquisitions and clinical trial agreements) that have been established till 2019 (February).
Chapter 9 presents details on various investments received by the start-ups / smaller companies that are engaged in this domain. It also includes an analysis of the funding instances that have taken place in the market, till January 2019, highlighting the growing interest of the venture capital community and other strategic investors within this market.
Chapter 10 provides information on the various non-pharmacological interventions, such as cognitive / emotion-oriented therapies, sensory simulation therapies and other psychological interventions, which aim to delay the loss of mental capability and help the patients retain their identity and functional autonomy. The chapter also presents a list of companies that offer such solutions, describing the devices / products and their mechanisms of action / working principles. In addition, the chapter include a list of novel diagnostic techniques, which claim to be capable of assisting in timely diagnosis.
