Pipeline Insight Substance Dependence Part II Alcohol

The continued uptake of existing brands and the launch of two opioid antagonists will cause the market to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 13.5% from 2006 to reach $304m across the seven major markets by 2016. The alcohol dependence market requires a paradigm shift away from the public perception that it is a behavioral disorder towards being regarded as a treatable medical condition.

Scope

Analysis of epidemiology, unmet needs and clinical trial design in alcohol dependence with insight from key opinion leaders Overview of the current alcohol dependence market. Analysis of patient potential, marketing factors, commercial attractiveness and clinical attractiveness of key late-stage pipeline drugs. Indication-specific forecasts of key drug key late-stage pipeline drugs revenues to 2016.

Highlights

The current alcohol dependence pipeline is small in comparison to other central nervous system markets. Opioid antagonists are the most prevalent drug class in late-stage development and include two reformulations of naltrexone. Datamonitor therefore believes the current alcohol dependence pipeline to be weak and lacking in innovation. The efficacy of currently marketed pharmaceutical products is limited, thereby leaving market opportunity for new therapies. Furthermore, in view of the poor medication compliance rate in alcohol dependent patients, pipeline drugs that possess the potential to improve patient compliance can expect to receive a strong uptake. Companies developing naltrexone depot drugs will experience difficulty distinguishing their products from Vivitrol (naltrexone once-monthly controlled-release, Alkermes/Cephalon) unless they price their drugs competitively and/or incorporate an injection device that produces less pain and fewer injection site reactions.

Reasons to Purchase

Understand unmet needs and opportunities in this market based on the comments of interviewed key opinion leaders. Benchmark key late-stage alcohol dependence compounds against the current market leader. Assess the seven major market total sales forecasts of key late-stage pipeline drugs; and examine their clinical and commercial potential
