Market Outlook
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a complex manifestation of underlying atherosclerotic disease and is severely undertreated. The failure of therapies to improve walking distance or reduce amputation highlights the need for novel agents capable of reducing, preventing, or reversing the progression of PAD. We discuss how current therapies are differentiated based on their key attributes and measure the impact of these attributes on cardiologists’ prescribing behavior. We also discuss the most important unmet needs in the treatment of PAD and consider which emerging therapies, if any, can capitalize on these opportunities. Our conjoint analysis reveals the key trade-offs that surveyed physicians are willing to make for these attributes when considering new treatment options for PAD.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Unmet Need supports clinical development decisions by identifying key attributes and assessing areas of unmet need for a specific disease or subpopulation. Based on surveys with U.S. and European physicians, this report provides insight into key treatment drivers and goals, the performance of current therapies, and the remaining commercial opportunities. Two market scenarios are profiled in detail by DRG experts, and additional customized market scenarios can be evaluated with the corresponding TPP simulator.
