Antiepileptic Drugs Market Boosting The Growth: Market Dynamics And Trends, Efficiencies Forecast By 2026

Antiepileptic Drugs.jpg
Epilepsy is associated with disrupted activities in the brain called seizures, which affects the central nervous system. Epilepsy is categorized into generalized seizures and partial seizures based on the areas affected in the brain. Generalized seizures affect the whole brain, while partial seizures affect just one part of the brain. Seizures are further classified into mild seizures and stronger seizures depending on the severity of the seizures. The diagnosis of mild seizures are difficult, as its lasts only for few seconds. Stronger seizures may last for a few seconds to several minutes, resulting in spasms and uncontrollable muscle twitches. This may cause the patient to lose consciousness, lead to temporary loss of cognition, or memory loss during the seizure. Epilepsy occurring due to brain infections such as meningitis is known as symptomatic epilepsy, while genetics related condition is called idiopathic epilepsy. The number of available antiepilepsy drugs have doubled over the past few decades and for the treatment of pediatric epilepsy, nine new drugs were launched in the last decade, as the benefits of the medicines are greater than the subsequent side-effects from the medicine. Third generation epilepsy drugs are rapidly replacing second and first generation drugs, as they are more safe and tolerable than the previous generation drugs. Few first generation drugs are Phenytoin (Dilantin and Phenytek), Carbamazepine (Carbatrol), Valproate (Depakote), Oxycarbazepine (Trileptal), Phenobarbital (Luminal), Primidone (Mysoline); and second generation drugs are Lamotrigine (Lamictal), Pregabalin (Lyrica), Lacosamide (Vimpat), and Rufinamide (Banzel/Inovelon). The newer drugs have better efficacy, with much better pharmacokinetic profiles and fewer drug interactions than the classic first generation drugs. For instance, the third generation drugs, UCB’s Keppra (levetiracetam) and GlaxoSmithKline’s (GSK’s) Lamictal (lamotrigine) have rapidly become the commonly used drugs for first-line treatments.

Antiepileptic Drugs Market Drivers

Factors such as rising prevalence of epilepsy and robust pipeline are expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. According to the study by Epilepsy Action Australia statistics in 2017, around 50 million people globally have epilepsy with around 80% of the people living in emerging economies such as India, Brazil, and China. Moreover, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2017, an estimated 3.4 million people have active epilepsy in the U.S., which includes 3 million adults and 470,000 children. Manufacturers have potential drug molecules in the pipeline for the treatment of various forms of epilepsy. For instance, SK Life Sciences, Inc. has Cenobamate (YKP3089) in Phase 3 clinical trials. Eisai, Co., Ltd. has the drug Perampanel in Phase 2 clinical trials, and Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has the drug Ganaxolone in Phase II clinical trials. The expected launches of these drugs over the forecast period is expected to create favorable condition for the market growth. Moreover, in 2015, Neurelis, Inc. received orphan drug designation for NRL-1 for the treatment of acute repetitive seizures and the drug is currently in phase III clinical trials. In 2016, Pfizer, Inc.’s Lyrica (pregabalin) cleared phase-3 clinical trials for prescription to pediatric patients. Drug launches by leading manufacturers is expected to foster growth of the antiepileptic drugs market over the forecast period. For instance, in 2016, UCB Pharma Limited received the U.S. FDA approval for Briviact, for the treatment of patients with partial onset seizures. Mylan launched generic Felbatol tablets in the U.S. after receiving approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in 2016. These factors are expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.

However, mild neurological adverse effects shown by these drugs can be fatal and the adverse reactions and risks vary with each medication, which is expected to hamper the adoption rate of the antiepileptic drugs over the forecast period, in turn affecting the market growth.

Why the Cold Pain Therapy is a Growing Payer Opportunity?

Image
Cold pain therapy is a therapeutic application of cold, used in the treatment of acute soft tissue injuries and to reduce the pain in post-operative condition in orthopedic surgeries, treatment of benign and malignant lesions, and in pain management. Cryotherapy can be applied topically (on the skin surface), surgically or percutaneously. This can also be used to treat various skin conditions such as oral mucositis and tumors in the liver, kidney, bones, breasts and lungs, skin tumors, skin tags, pre-cancerous skin moles, and injuries. Cryosurgery procedure involves use of extreme cold, produced with help of liquid nitrogen (or argon gas) to destroy abnormal tissues. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), cryosurgery is used for treatment of several types of cancers and some non-cancerous conditions. It is reported to be effective for treatment in early stage skin cancer, retinoblastoma, actinic keratosis, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Accord...

Ursodeoxycholic Acid Market Shows Boosted Growth Rate 2018-2026 Estimated by Global Top Players

Image
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a bile acid taken as either a tablet or liquid to treat gallstones and to treat and prevent the progression of cystic fibrosis-related liver disorder. UDCA modifies the bile acid pool by decreasing levels of hydrophobic bile acids while increasing proportion of nontoxic hydrophilic bile acids. UDCA can delay development of gastroesophageal varices and progression to cirrhosis. Moreover it can improve long-term survival in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. Significant improvement in liver health can be achieved during UDCA therapy in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, primary sclerosing cholangitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cystic fibrosis-associated liver disease, total parenteral nutrition-induced cholestasis, graft related liver disease, and in some pediatric cholestatic liver diseases. The global ursodeoxycholic acid market size was valued at US$ 346.2 million in 2017, and is expected to witn...

Booms and Busts in Anatomic Pathology Market; Dynamics Trends Over The Time Discussed 2018-2026

Image
Anatomic pathology involves direct visualization of human tissue as gross examination as well as under a microscope for proper diagnosis of the disease or a pathological condition. Subtypes of anatomic pathology include surgical pathology, oral and maxillofacial pathology, cytopathology, molecular pathology, and forensic pathology. Procedures performed in anatomic pathology include gross examination, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, cryopathology, tissue cytogenetics, and others. Standard approach in anatomical pathology is microscopic examination of tissue samples with the help of one or more stains. Manufacturers have developed stains to identify and classify microorganisms in biopsy of tissue samples or excisional specimens. Various gram stains and acid-fast stains have applications in detection of bacteria and mycobacteria in tissue samples. Commercially available products include tissue processing systems, microtomes, cryostats, ...
