Psoriasis Therapeutic Pipeline Analysis 2017 - Clinical Trials & Results and Other Developments

Therapeutic pipeline for analysis of psoriasis is likely to grow on account of increasing prevalence of psoriasis, globally, which is caused due to abnormalities in the immune system caused by external stressors and low market penetration of drugs that can successfully cure the disease. According to the latest data published by the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 7.5 million people in the U.S. are suffering from psoriasis. The disease is prevalent in people of all age groups, mostly in adults. Both males and females are equally susceptible to this disease.


Psoriasis is a serious condition which includes chronic inflammation and scaling on the skin. Psoriasis develops when skin cells rapidly grow below the surface of the skin and get deposited on the surface before they get mature. Usually this process takes about a month, but in psoriasis it may occur in a few days. Psoriasis leads to the development of thick patches of inflamed skin with a silvery scale covering. These patches are also referred to as plaques and they itch or feel sore. They mostly occur on knees, elbows, other parts of the legs, lower back, scalp, soles of the feet, face and palms. Psoriasis can also affect the toenails, the fingernails, inside the mouth and the soft tissues of the genitals. Pain and itching may interfere with basic functions such as self-care, sleep and walking. Psoriasis is caused when T cells accidently get involved and become active to the extent of triggering other immune responses, thus, resulting in inflammation and rapid turnover of skin cells. Another major source of developing psoriasis is its presence in the family history of an individual. Psoriasis is diagnosed by examining a small skin sample from a patient, under a microscope. There are several forms of psoriasis including guttate psoriasis, plaque psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis, inverse psoriasis, pustular psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The treatment of psoriasis includes topical treatment, phototherapy and systemic therapy. Topical treatment includes application of ointment or cream forms of corticosteroids, vitamin D3, retinoids, coal tar, or anthralin. Phototherapy includes exposure of UV light in controlled conditions, while systemic treatment includes retinoids, cyclosporine, methotrexate, PDE4 inhibitors and biologic response modifiers medicines.

Nephrotic Syndrome Therapeutics Pipeline Analysis - Collaboration and Other Developments

The growth in the pipeline of nephrotic syndrome is attributed to the increase in prevalence of individuals affected with diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia. Unhealthy lifestyle and unhygienic crops and fruits are also the factors that are contributing to the growth of therapeutic pipeline of nephrotic syndrome. Environmental factors are also thought to be responsible for occurrence of nephrotic syndrome. Funds from various organizations are contributing to the research and developments in the therapy area which in turn is believed to help in early diagnosis of the disease.


Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms such as, proteinuria, hyperlipidemia, edema or swelling and hypoalbuminia, which mainly affects kidneys. Edema is caused when albumin leaks into the urine and body loses its capacity to absorb its extra fluid. The anomalies in kidney filters, glomeruli, is the main risk factor of nephrotic syndrome. Tiny blood vessels in glomeruli removes waste and excess fluid from blood and direct them to urinary bladder in the form of urine. Nephrotic syndrome can also be caused by metabolic disease such as diabetes and lupus. Weight gain, fatigue, foamy urine and loss of appetite are the main symptoms observed in patients with nephrotic syndrome. Complication associated with nephrotic syndrome are hypothyroidism, anemia, coronary artery disease or coronary heart disease, high blood pressure or hypertension and acute kidney injury.


In 2014, Anthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Zenyaku Kogyo Co., Ltd. of Japan entered a license agreement, under the terms of which Zenyaku Kogyo Co., Ltd. got the rights for the development and commercialization of subcutaneous blisibimod in Japan and potentially in other Asian countries. In October 2014, the National Institutes of Health announced to provide funding of $5.8 million over a five-year period to the Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network, also known as NEPTUNE.

Ankylosing Spondylitis Therapeutics Pipeline Analysis 2017 by P&S Market Research


Ankylosing spondylitis is an idiopathic disease, associated with HLA-B27, IL23R and ERAP1 genes. Usually, fewer people get affected with ankylosing spondylitis irrespective of activation of genes. Blood test, X-ray test, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and physical investigations are some of the ways to effectively diagnose the disease. The disease begins with the inflammation in joints in the vertebrae and pelvic bones and spine. The environmental factors are believed to be the most important risk factor for increasing the incidence of the disease. The primary symptoms include back pain and stiffness.


Considerable growth in therapeutic pipeline of ankylosing spondylitis is attributed to the increase in prevalence of the disease among teens as well as young adult patients. Researchers have not been able to identify the actual cause of the disease. Novel anti-inflammatory agents and pain killers are being developed that are primarily responsible for the growth of therapeutics pipeline for ankylosing spondylitis.

In June 2015, UniQuest Pty Ltd signed a collaborative agreement with Janssen Cilag Pty Limited for development and commercialization of small molecule modulators of a biological target identified by the University of Queensland, as an important factor for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, and potentially psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease. In December 2016, Janssen Biotech, Inc. confirmed the submission of two Supplemental Biologics License Applications (sBLAs) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval of SIMPONI ARIA (golimumab) for the treatment of patients with psoriatic arthritis as well as ankylosing spondylitis. SIMPONI ARIA is fully humanised anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha therapy.

Cataract Therapeutics Pipeline Analysis, Designation, Collaboration and Other Developments


Cataract is the clouding of eye lens and it can occur in either one or both the eyes. Cataract is generally more common among people over 80 years of age. According to the National Eye Institute, more than half of the Americans suffer from cataract. Eye lens is transparent and light sensitive and is located at the back of the eye. It helps to focus light rays on retina which aids in the formation of clear image. Images at retina are converted into optic signals that are then communicated to the brain. Eye lens is made up of protein and water, but as a person grows old, the protein of the lens clump together and starts to form a cloud which continues to grow, time making it harder for patients to see. Cloud formation in eye lens is the characteristic feature of cataract. In people affected by cataract, colour of eye lens also changes to brownish, adding a brownish tint to their vision.


Considerable growth in therapeutic pipeline of cataract is expected in the future which could be attributed primarily to the increasing prevalence of cataract. According to researchers, smoking and diabetes are considered to be the major causes of cataract disease. Consumption of unhygienic crops and fruits, unhealthy lifestyle and rising level of pollutants in the environment are some of other important factors responsible for increasing incidence of cataract disease.

In September 2016, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Ltd. entered into an agreement with Abbott Medical Optics Inc. (AMO) to acquire for the wholesome amount of $4.325 billion. AMO’s reported sales were around $1.1 billion for the year 2015. The acquisition also included accession of ophthalmic products in three business segments such as, cataract surgery, laser refractive surgery and consumer eye health.

Chronic Heart Failure Therapeutics Pipeline Analysis 2017

Chronic heart failure therapeutic pipeline will increase in near future due to increasing cases of the disease. The prevalence of chronic heart failure is increasing globally due to the factors including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, less physical activity and tobacco consumption. These factors are contributing in driving the pipeline analysis for chronic heart failure. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 5.7 million adults in the U.S. have heart failure and about half of people die within five years of diagnosis. Asthma is equally prevalent in women than in men.


Chronic heart failure is a condition, in which heart muscles gets damaged and cannot pump blood properly. This condition slows down the rate of blood flow and increases the pressure, resulting in insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients to the body. The damage can be a result of heart attack or long-term health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Heart failure can be caused by several conditions including heart attack, coronary artery disease, thyroid, kidney disease and cardiomyopathy. Some of the symptoms of chronic heart failure include lung congestion, dizziness, fluid and water retention, fatigue, irregular heartbeats and weakness. Chronic heart failure is categorized into two types, systolic dysfunction and diastolic dysfunction. Heart failure is diagnosed by analysing patient’s medical history and examining the symptoms. Also, alcohol consumption, smoking and drugs intake are considered while diagnosing the disease. Certain tests are also conducted for confirmation which includes blood tests, chest X-ray, B-type natriuretic peptide blood test, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization and the ejection fraction test. Chronic heart failure can be treated with strict medications and healthy lifestyle with regular monitoring. The treatment initially aims to decrease the symptoms and improve the quality of life of the patient.

Myelofibrosis Therapeutics Pipeline Analysis, 2017 - Clinical Trials & Results, Collaboration and Other Developments

Myelofibrosis is a disease characterized by the build-up of scar tissue in the bone marrow, which leads to genetic mutation in a person’s body. The myelofibrosis therapeutics pipeline is anticipated to increase with the growing need to develop a cure for the problem, and is noticed in approximately one in 500,000 people, in the U.S., usually in the age group of 50 to 80 years, as per the as data provided by U.S. national Library of Medicine. It is a rare form of disease and also happens to patients with thrombocythemia and polycythemia. Moreover, the future developments in therapies are expected to shoot-up.


According to National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, myelofibrosis is disorder of bone marrow, in which bone marrow is replaced by fibrous tissues. In myelofibrosis, bone marrow cannot produce sufficient blood cells and platelets, which leads to weakness, anemia, fatigue and sometimes swelling of spleen and liver. Reduction in number of platelets can cause bleeding and bruising. This condition is also called extramedullary haematopoiesis. The genes of the stem cells such as, JAK2, MPL, CALR, and TET2 genes undergo mutation in somatic stem cells but, the condition is uninherited. Treatments for the problem include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, blood transfusion and surgery.

Dry Eye Disease Therapeutics Pipeline Analysis - Clinical Trials & Results and Other Developments

Growth in the pipeline of dry eye disease therapeutics is anticipated over next few years on account of increasing incidences of people being diagnosed with diabetes and deficiency of vitamins such as A and B, which is majorly caused due to change in dietary intake and unhealthy lifestyle. This in turn leads to increase in risk of ocular infections and other bothersome symptoms such as visual disturbance, ocular discomfort and fatigue, in people. To overcome these problems, increasing number of companies are engaged in the process of developing drugs and devices that would assist in curing the disease. On the back of this, growth in the therapeutics pipeline of dry eye disease is anticipated. Additionally, increase in healthcare awareness and knowledge related to the various problem caused by environmental factors such as pollution, are also contributing to the growth of the pipeline.


Dry eye disease usually occurs when eyes do not produce tears or the same is done in inconsistent proportion, due to which eyes lack moisture. The dry eye disease is also associated with inflammation in eye which can cause pain, scar on cornea, ulcer and sometimes, permanent loss of vision, due to which a person is unable to read properly and perform the daily tasks. The dry eye disease is also known as, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, dysfunctional tear disease, lacrimal keratoconjunctivitis, evaporative tear deficiency, LASIK-induced neurotrophic epitheliopathy and aqueous tear deficiency. The dry eye disease can be broadly classified into - aqueous tear-deficient dry eye and evaporative dry eye. The aqueous tear-deficient dry eye is a condition in which the lacrimal glands are unable to produce tears; whereas, evaporative dry eye problem occurs due to inflammation of meibomian glands.
