Summary
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron degenerative disease which affects both upper motor neurons (UMN) and lower motor neurons (LMN).It is a progressive disease, with patients becoming increasingly dependent on carers and physicians as time from onset increases, and ultimately, it is fatal.
ALS can be split into two origins, hereditary - which is known as FALS (Familial ALS) or idiopathic - known as SALS (sporadic ALS).
ALS current treatment includes only two disease-modifying drugs: Sanofi's Rilutek (riluzole) and Mitsubishi Tanabe's Radicava/Radicut (edaravone).Two reformulations of riluzole were approved recently: ITF Pharma's Tiglutik (riluzole oral suspension) in 2018 and Aquestive Therapeutics' Exservan (riluzole oral film) in 2019.
Both reformulations address problems of advanced-stage ALS patients who have difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia). Tiglutik is the first liquid formulation of riluzole to launch in the market; it can also be administrated via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes (PEG-tubes), while Exservan is a thin oral film that dissolves on the tongue without the need of any muscle action.
the analyst estimates that sales of drugs in the ALS market were approximately $282M in 2019 in the 8MM.The US was the largest market, with sales of $197M, representing 70% of all sales from the 8MM.
The highest-selling drug in the market was Mitsubishi's Radicava (edaravone), a free radical scavenger, which generated sales of $162M in the 8MM in 2019.
Global sales in the ALS market are expected to grow to $1.04B by 2029, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.9%.
Key Highlights
- Currently, the only treatment options for ALS are Rilutek (8MM) and Radicava/Radicut (US, Japan, and Canada), neither of which can stop nor significantly slow the progression of the disease. At best, these drugs may increase a patient's life span by up to six months.
- the analyst anticipates that nine late stage pipeline drugs will launch over the forecast period. These drugs will be used as adjunctive therapies to Rilutek, Tiglutik, Exservan, and Radicava. They aim to address some of the longstanding clinical unmet needs and are expected to be the main driver of growth in the ALS market across the 8MM.
- Biogen's BIIB067 (tofersen) antisense therapy is forecast to be a major player in the ALS market; due to its high ACOT despite its limited patient pool.
- There are few therapies in the pipeline that aim at addressing major unmet needs, they will all have to translate promising Phase II results into Phase III successes, which KOLs have stated has been a stumbling block for previous therapies.
- Opportunities are expected for pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs which have novel MOAs; which are potential curative agents, or extend patient survival more than the current SOC.
