This Market Spotlight report covers the Sickle Cell Anemia market, comprising key marketed and pipeline drugs, clinical trials, recent events and analyst opinion, upcoming and regulatory events, probability of success, a 10-year disease prevalence forecast, and licensing and acquisition deals, as well as presenting drug-specific revenue forecasts.
Key Takeaways
- Using an estimated global prevalence of 0.04%, Datamonitor Healthcare approximates that there were 3.3 million prevalent cases of sickle cell anemia worldwide in 2019. Africa is estimated to account for 85% of worldwide cases.
- The approved drugs in the sickle cell anemia space target selectins, fetal hemoglobin, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and hemoglobin. These drugs are administered via the oral route, except for Adakveo, which is available as an intravenous formulation.
- The largest proportion of industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for sickle cell anemia are in Phase I. Therapies in development for sickle cell anemia focus on a wide variety of targets. The majority of the pipeline drugs are administered via the intravenous route, with the remainder being oral and subcutaneous formulations.
- High-impact upcoming events for drugs in the sickle cell anemia space comprise topline Phase I/II trial results for GPH101, topline Phase II trial results for MGTA-145, topline Phase IIa trial results for VIT-2763, and topline Phase IIb trial results for IMR687.
- The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I hematology asset is 24.3%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 74.6%. Drugs, on average, take 9.9 years from Phase I to approval in the overall hematology space.
- The distribution of clinical trials across Phase I–IV indicates that the majority of trials for sickle cell anemia have been in the early and mid-phases of development, with 76% of trials in Phase I–II, and only 24% in Phase III–IV.
- The US has a substantial lead in the number of sickle cell anemia clinical trials globally. The UK leads the major European markets, while Lebanon has the top spot in Asia.
- Global Blood Therapeutics has the highest number of ongoing clinical trials for sickle cell anemia, with 16 trials. Global Blood Therapeutics leads industry sponsors with the highest overall number of clinical trials for sickle cell anemia, followed by Novartis.
