Analyst Outlook
Following its 2010 launch, Sorilux (calcipotriene; Stiefel/GlaxoSmithKline) has experienced slow
uptake in the psoriasis market, despite having the financial support of GlaxoSmithKline. This comes as
no surprise as the US psoriasis market is saturated with several types of established calcipotriene
formulations, limiting Sorilux’s uptake. Even though Sorilux received further US approval to include
the topical treatment of scalp psoriasis in September 2012, Datamonitor Healthcare believes that the
brand will struggle to compete with Leo Pharma’s scalp formulation products with which physicians
have extensive clinical experience.
Drug Overview
Sorilux is a vitamin D3 analog that works by controlling the overproduction of skin cells in patients
affected by psoriasis. However, the exact mechanism of action contributing to its clinical efficacy in
the treatment of psoriasis is unknown.
