This Market Spotlight report covers the Hypogonadism market, comprising key marketed and pipeline drugs, recent events and analyst opinion, clinical trials, key upcoming and regulatory events, probability of success, patent information, epidemiology, and licensing and acquisition deals, as well as presenting drug-specific revenue forecasts.

Key Takeaways

• 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.
• Industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for hypogonadism are evenly spread across Phase II and Phase III, with one drug in the NDA/BLA phase.
• Therapies in development for hypogonadism focus on targets such as androgen receptors, estrogen receptor alpha, estrogen receptor beta, and aromatase. The majority of the pipeline drugs are administered via the oral route, with one product being tested as a transdermal formulation.
• The only high-impact upcoming event in the hypogonadism space is an expected PDUFA date for Tlando. The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I endocrine-other asset is 20.3%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 76.5%. Drugs, on average, take 9.4 years from Phase I to approval in the endocrine-other space as well as in the overall endocrine space.
• The distribution of clinical trials across Phase I–IV indicates that trials for hypogonadism have been evenly split between the early and late phases of development, with 50% of trials in Phase I–II and 50% in Phase III–IV.
• The US has a substantial lead in the number of hypogonadism clinical trials globally. The UK leads the major European markets, while India has the top spot in Asia.
• Clinical trial activity in the hypogonadism space is dominated by completed trials. AbbVie has the highest number of completed clinical trials for hypogonadism, with eight trials.
• AbbVie leads industry sponsors with the highest overall number of clinical trials for hypogonadism, followed by GlaxoSmithKline.
