KOL thinks that the biggest challenge to treating COPD is cost, even with a very low population of uninsured people.
The next wave of key therapies in asthma includes biologics, with interleukin (IL)-5 inhibitors first to reach the market.
This interview with a UK-based key opinion leader (KOL) provides insights into their perception on unmet needs, JAK inhibitors, differentiation of IL-13 antibodies, prospects for topical drugs, as well as competitive positioning and access to biologics.

Payers and governments are striving toward cost-effective treatment outcomes and more efficient care, and waves of new digital health technologies are offering patients unprecedented opportunities to be more engaged in their own health management.
Between 2011 and 2015, Big Pharma – a peer set of approximately 16 firms across the world with large R&D and sales organizations, and sales valued at $10bn or more – signed over 1,100 drug-focused deals, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 10%.
Between 2012 and 2016, Big Pharma – a peer set of approximately 16 firms across the world with large R&D and sales organizations, and annual revenues in excess of $10bn – signed over 1,200 drug-focused deals, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 12%.
An analysis of the drug-focused licensing deals (out-licensing and in-licensing) made by Big Pharma companies shows an uptick in partnering from 2014 to 2015, followed by a slight decrease in 2016 that has held steady through 2018. Despite that slight decline, the peer set increased deal volume by roughly 15% between the beginning and the end of the five-year period. Total deal values rose even more, roughly 25%.
Biomedtracker interviewed a nephrologist based in the US Midwest to determine his views on the drugs in development for diabetic nephropathy/diabetic kidney disease.
Uptake of Entresto (NVS) in the US has been slow following approval in July 2015. Part of that is due to the time it has taken to secure insurance coverage, but physicians have complained about other insurance barriers, as well, and there are also clinical factors that could play a role.
In this report, we cover catalysts from 21 drugs expected to occur in Q3 2017. For each drug, the likelihood of Phase/PDUFA review success and overall Likelihood of Approval (LOA) given their particular phase, drug class, and disease group are provided.
The challenges faced by biosimilar developers are not unlike those confronting their branded counterparts. First, companies must develop high-quality biosimilars and obtain regulatory approval. Next, they must then navigate the vast array of commercial nuances that exist at the national level in order for their products to be used in the clinical setting.
Biosimilar competition is providing payers with opportunities to contain costs in a category that accounts for a significant proportion of total drug expenditure. The launch of the biosimilar insulin Basaglar is a threat to the insulin-based product market, which includes long-time reference product Lantus as well as newer entrants Toujeo and Tresiba. More aggressive payers are excluding branded insulin products in favor of the less expensive biosimilar, forcing switches in existing patient populations. As such, manufacturers of branded insulin products will need to offer deeper discounts to remain on payers’ formularies and contracts.
