DUBLIN, Aug. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Parkinson's Disease Market: Pipeline Review, Developer Landscape and Competitive Insights" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Parkinson's disease is a chronic disorder that gradually leads to progressive deterioration of motor functions due to loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. It is presently the second most common neurodegenerative disease (after Alzheimer's disease) and is characterized by symptoms such as shaking, rigidity, difficulty in walking / movement, and several other cognitive and behavioral problems. Parkinson's disease is known to affect 1-2 per 1,000 individuals and has been shown to impact approximately 1% of the population aged above 60 years. It is also worth highlighting that, every year, nearly 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's.

The disease has been estimated to incur combined direct and indirect costs of close to USD 25 billion in the US annually. With increasing disease prevalence and the corresponding growth in socioeconomic burden, the field faces a pressing need for accurate diagnostic (predictive) tests, and efficient treatment options for slowing the progression of the disease. Despite the availability of several types of dopamine agonists, there still are a myriad of motor and non-motor symptoms that currently available therapies are unable to treat.

The unavailability of neuroprotective therapies remains one of the prime unmet needs in this domain. The disease is highly complex and is known to render any single therapeutic approach inadequate to deal with its multifaceted etiopathogenesis. Currently, several stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry are engaged in efforts to advance the development of various types of disease modifying pharmacological interventions, therapies to offer symptomatic relief and drugs to try to cure the disease as well. In fact, there are multiple initiatives established by start-ups that are being backed by venture capital funding to expedite the development of potential therapeutic options for better disease management.

Amongst other elements, the report includes:

A detailed assessment of the current market landscape of drugs being developed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, providing information on drug developer(s), phase of development (clinical, preclinical / discovery stage) of product candidates, type of molecule (small molecule, biologic or gene / cell therapy), treatment type (disease modifying agent, drugs offering symptomatic relief or drugs for curing the disease), mechanism of action, and route of administration.

An in-depth analysis of the product pipeline and developer companies, featuring four schematic representations; these include [A] a heptagon representation highlighting the distribution of the marketed and development stage molecules based on their mechanisms of action, [B] a 2X2 grid analysis, representing the distribution of drug candidates across various molecule types and stages of development, [C] a funnel analysis highlighting the distribution of molecules (segregated by stage of development) based on route of administration and treatment type, and [D] a logo landscape of the various industry players involved in the development of drugs, distributed on the basis of location of headquarters and company size (small-sized, mid-sized and large).

An analysis highlighting the key unmet needs across Parkinson's disease, featuring insights generated from real-time data on unmet needs as identified from social media posts, recent publications, patient blogs and the views of key opinion leaders expressed on online platforms.

Comprehensive profiles of drugs in phase III of clinical development, with information on the developer, specific target patient population, mechanism of action, clinical trials, current status of development, and recent developments (if available).

An insightful competitive analysis, highlighting the key players in the domain on the basis of the strength of their development portfolio. For all companies that emerged as important players in this field, we have presented a five-dimensional spider web analysis, taking into account the company's size, activity on Google Trends, stage of development of lead molecule, strength of the Parkinson's disease pipeline and the (present) number of clinical trials being conducted by the player.

A detailed analysis of the mergers and acquisitions that have taken place in this space, highlighting the trend in the number of companies acquired in the last few years, along with the geographical distribution of this activity. The analysis features an ownership change matrix and presents a financial evaluation of these deals (revenues and respective deal multiples) as well.

A detailed analysis identifying the key opinion leaders (KOLs), featuring a 2X2 analysis to assess the relative experience of certain KOLs who were shortlisted based on their contributions (in terms of involvement in various clinical studies) to this field, and a schematic world map representation, highlighting the geographical locations of eminent scientists / researchers involved in the development of molecules in this domain.

An analysis of the investments made at various stages of development in companies that are focused in this area, including seed financing, venture capital financing, debt financing, grants, capital raised from IPOs and subsequent offerings.

A survey analysis featuring inputs solicited from various experts who are directly / indirectly involved in development of anti-Parkinson's therapeutics.

Example Highlights

The analysis of content presented on informal (50 patient blogs and over 12,000 social media posts) and formal (over 200 scientific literature studies) literary sources, and the opinions express by industry experts confirm the existence of a significant unmet need within the anti-Parkinson's disease therapeutics market. Some of the unaddressed concerns suggested through multiple portals include lack of disease modifying treatments, delayed diagnosis, unavailability of therapies to manage non-motor symptoms and poor quality of life.

Over 180 product candidates are currently being evaluated across various stages of development for the management / treatment of Parkinson's disease. Of these, 55% are in the preclinical or discovery phase. Amongst the drugs that are under clinical development, 7 are in phase III, 42 in phase II, and 25 in phase I and phase I/II trials. Interestingly, since 2015, four product candidates have been approved; these are (based on year of approval) OSMOLEX ER (2018), NUPLAZID (2016), ONGENTYS (2016) and Xadago (2015).

Majority of novel drugs (53%) are disease modifying agents, while 32% of candidate molecules are being developed for providing symptomatic relief only. Rest of the drugs are designed and being evaluated to cure Parkinson's disease. It is worth highlighting that 34% of pipeline candidates have been shown to induce therapeutic effect by inhibiting a protein / enzyme; further, 17% are dopamine agonists, while 13% are channel / receptor antagonists.

The market landscape is characterized by the presence of large (20), mid-sized (31) and small-sized companies (91). Some of the prominent large companies engaged in this domain include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) AbbVie, ACADIA Pharmaceuticals, Amgen, AstraZeneca, BIAL Group, Eli Lilly, Lundbeck, Luye Pharmaceuticals, Osmotica Pharmaceutical, Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma, UCB Pharma and Zambon. The growing unmet need within this domain has spurred the establishment of many start-ups in the recent years; examples include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) 4P Therapeutics, Acelot, Aeolus Pharmaceuticals, Aestas Pharma, Antoxis, BlueRock Therapeutics, BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, Capo Therapeutics, Cellix Bio, Cerevance, Clera, Contera Pharma, Curemark, DermaXon, Domain Therapeutics, Enterin, Fabre-Kramer Pharmaceuticals, Herantis Pharma Impel NeuroPharma, Io Therapeutics, Junaxo, Living Cell Technologies, Lysosomal Therapeutics, Melior Pharmaceuticals, Minerave Neurosciences, Mission Therapeutics, Peptron, Pharma Two B, Prana Biotechnology, Priavoid, Primary Peptides, QR Pharma, Serina Therapeutics, TechnoPhage, Vivreon Biosciences and Xoc Pharmaceuticals.

More than USD 2.2 billion has been invested in various companies, across 182 instances of funding, since 2010. The Michael J. Fox Foundation, Vinnova, Roche Venture Fund, Mrieux Dveloppement, Alliance of Angels, Shire, Ysios Capital, Third Rock Ventures, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Sunstone Capital and Sofinnova Partners have emerged as some of the prominent investors (in terms of number of funding instances) in this market.

Several prominent scientists (over 100 investigators evaluated) have made significant contributions in advancing the clinical development efforts and, therefore, have emerged as key opinion leaders in this field. It is worth noting that universities and hospitals, across various regions, have been conducting breakthrough research along with various KOLs to develop an efficient treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease; examples of these universities and hospitals are (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) Addenbrookes Hospital, Auckland City Hospital, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Jichi Medical University and Loma Linda University of Health.

The domain has witnessed over seven acquisitions in the recent past, highlighting that the market is partly driven by acquisition of start-ups with promising drug candidates. These include multiple big-ticket deals; a prominent example being the acquisition of Prexton Therapeutics by Lundbeck (deal valued at USD 1.1 billion) in March 2018. Interestingly, majority of the acquisition events took place in the US; however, there were several cross-border acquisitions involving start-ups based in the US and big pharmaceutical players in Japan.
