Cystic fibrosis, caused by mutations in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, is a rare and life-limiting genetic disorder that is characterized by thick, sticky mucus and pulmonary complications.

Lung cancer is generally categorized as either small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Of these, NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for roughly 85% of all cases. NSCLC can be further divided into non-squamous and squamous NSCLC histologies. Squamous NSCLC refers to patients with squamous cell carcinoma, whereas non-squamous NSCLC includes patients with adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and other less common subtypes. Incidence of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma varies greatly by both geographic region and gender. In general, adenocarcinoma comprises approximately 30–50% of all lung cancer cases, while squamous cell carcinoma accounts for roughly 25–35%.
This Market Spotlight report covers the Sjögren’s syndrome market, comprising key pipeline and marketed drugs, clinical trials, upcoming events, patent information, a 10-year disease prevalence forecast, and licensing and acquisition deals.
Psoriatic arthritis is grouped with spondyloarthritis and is characterized by inflammation in the spine (spondylitis) and/or joints (arthritis). It is often preceded by a diagnosis of psoriasis by about 10 years. The disease may be characterized by joint pain, swelling, or morning stiffness, and about 80–90% of psoriatic arthritis patients experience nail lesions, which include pitting (dents) and onycholysis (detachment). Around 30% of individuals with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis.
The current dynamics of the antipsychotic market show domination by atypical antipsychotics, mainly oral agents, but there is also increasing uptake of long-acting injectable (LAI) neuroleptics, which will continue. Oral atypical antipsychotics that were historical blockbusters are now facing intense generic erosion. The highest-selling oral antipsychotic is Latuda, one of the newer atypical drugs, but its market exclusivity is only set to last until 2023.
Sutent is set to lose ground due to both newer, more effective treatments and imminent biosimilar erosion. Previously the SOC across many treatment settings, the pivotal trials of several newer therapies, which include checkpoint inhibitors Keytruda, Opdivo, and Bavencio, and the RTK inhibitor Cabometyx, have demonstrated significant clinical benefit over Sutent in the first-line setting. Keytruda and Cabometyx have also demonstrated benefit over Sutent in subsequent-line settings.
All of the approved drugs for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) target tumor necrosis factor-alpha. These therapies are administered via the subcutaneous route, while Humira and Yuflyma are also available in intravenous formulations.
Approved drugs in the ADHF – preserved ejection fraction (acute HFpEF) space target natriuretic peptide receptors. These drugs are administered via the intravenous route.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a member of the Paramyxoviridae family, is an enveloped, non-segmented, single-stranded, negativesense RNA virus. It is a common respiratory virus that is the leading cause of bronchiolitis in infants, and is estimated to be responsible for 22% of all episodes of acute lower respiratory tract infections in young children.
The approved drugs in the hypogonadism space target androgen receptors, estrogen receptor alpha, and estrogen receptor beta. These are commonly administered via the transdermal route, with a smaller number of products being available in oral, intramuscular, intranasal, sublingual/oral transmucosal, subcutaneous, and topical formulations.
Datamonitor Healthcare estimates that in 2019, there were 49,500 prevalent cases of myelofibrosis in adults aged 50 years and older worldwide, and forecasts that number to increase to 60,700 prevalent cases by 2028.
The rheumatoid arthritis (RA) market is set to experience increasing attrition due to biosimilar competition. The EU market has taken the brunt of biosimilar erosion, with earlier launches and more acceptance of biosimilars compared to other countries. Over time, biosimilar penetration is anticipated to gain more momentum as international real-world evidence builds, with long-term data supporting biosimilar efficacy and safety. This should allow physicians and patients to grow their confidence and familiarity with biosimilars, and encourage uptake.
Despite Truvada’s and Descovy’s commercial success, PrEP remains underutilized due to poor awareness and lack of/limited reimbursement in some European countries, though uptake is increasing due to recent favorable reimbursement decisions in Germany, Spain, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as well as due to Gilead’s marketing efforts. The US has the highest rate of uptake (estimated at 22% of at-risk individuals in 2020) and generates the majority of global PrEP revenues.
