Worldwide Gout Market Spotlight Report 2019 - Astrazeneca Leads Industry Sponsors with the Highest Number of Clinical Trials for Gout

DUBLIN, June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Market Spotlight: Gout" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report covers the Gout market, comprising key pipeline and marketed drugs, clinical trials, upcoming and regulatory events, patent information, a 10-year disease prevalence forecast, and licensing and acquisition deals, as well as presenting drug-specific revenue forecasts.

Key Takeaways

• The author estimates that in 2017, there were 34.5 million prevalent cases of gout in people aged 15 years and older worldwide, and forecasts that number to increase to 38.5 million prevalent cases by 2026.
• The approved drugs in the gout space focus on a wide variety of targets. These are commonly administered via the oral route, with the remainder being available in intravenous and subcutaneous formulations.
• The majority of industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for gout are in Phase II. Early- and mid-stage drugs in development for gout focus on targets such as uric acid, the interleukin-1 receptor, URAT1, xanthine oxidase, the immune system, and reactive oxygen species/free radicals. The largest proportion of pipeline drugs are administered via the oral route, with the remainder being intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous formulations.
• High-impact upcoming events for drugs in the gout space comprise topline Phase IIb trial results for REV-002 and topline Phase II trial results for Krystexxa.
• The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I arthritis asset is 10.8%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 79.2%. Drugs, on average, take 8.2 years from Phase I to approval, compared to 8.7 years in the overall autoimmune/immunology space.
• There have been nine licensing and asset acquisition deals involving gout drugs during 2014-19. The exclusive collaboration agreement in 2019 between Horizon Pharma and HemoShear for $500m to discover and develop novel therapeutics for gout was the largest deal during the period.
• The distribution of clinical trials across Phase I-IV indicates that the majority of trials for gout have been in the early and midphases of development, with 68% of trials in Phase I-II, and 32% in Phase III-IV.
• The US has a substantial lead in the number of gout clinical trials globally. Germany leads the major EU markets, while Japan has the top spot in Asia.
• Clinical trial activity in the gout space is dominated by completed trials. AstraZeneca has the highest number of completed clinical trials for gout, with 69 trials.
• AstraZeneca leads industry sponsors with the highest number of clinical trials for gout.
