Urticaria | Disease Landscape and Forecast | G7 | 2020
The urticaria drug market is dominated by oral medications, including steroids and second-generation, nondrowsy antihistamines, prescribed for both chronic inducible and chronic spontaneous urticaria. However, both drug classes have serious side effects, and many patients still struggle to control their lesions. As a result, the approval of Xolair has been welcomed by physicians and patients. Clinical trials for additional biological therapies are underway, capturing urticaria disease data using an array of clinical scoring systems. With only one biological drug currently approved, the most important factors for driving prescribing decisions remain unknown, and many of the unmet needs in this market remain unfulfilled.
Questions Answered
- What is the physician perspective on steroids and antihistamines for chronic urticaria? How frequently are these therapies prescribed?
- How do allergists and dermatologists diagnose and treat chronic urticaria, and how does treatment differ between specialists? Are inducible and spontaneous urticaria treated similarly, or is the treatment algorithm distinct?
- Which therapies are expected to have the biggest impact on the chronic urticaria market forecast? Will emerging therapies shift the treatment algorithm, or will biologics remain later-line treatments?
- How does Xolair (Novartis / Genentech), approved for chronic idiopathic urticaria in the United States, perform, and how will emerging biologics compare? How does its performance compare with that of frequently prescribed conventional therapies, including steroids and antihistamines?
