Special Topics: ADPKD: Assessment & Forecast (US, EU5, Japan, China)

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the development and progressive enlargement of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. Particularly in the early stages, the disease is often asymptomatic and detectable only through diagnostic imaging of the kidney to reveal cysts. The launch of Otsuka’s Jynarque / Jinarc / Samsca (tolvaptan) introduced the first disease-specific therapy for ADPKD. However, several therapies are being investigated in clinical trials, including Sanofi / Genzyme’s venglustat, Reata Pharmaceuticals’ bardoxolone methyl, Palladio Bioscience’s lixivaptan, and Regulus Therapeutics’ RGLS-4326. These therapies are forecast to fulfill several of the unmet needs that remain. These unmet needs include superior efficacy and safety / tolerability compared to tolvaptan, and prescribing to a greater range of patients (e.g., those with elevated liver enzymes).

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

• What do key opinion leaders think about the emerging therapies Sanofi / Genzyme’s venglustat, Reata Pharmaceuticals’ bardoxolone methyl, Palladio Bioscience’s lixivaptan, Regulus Therapeutics’ RGLS-4326, XORTX Therapeutics’ oxipurinol, and Galapagos’ GLPG2737? What is the likelihood that these drugs will launch? How will emerging therapies differentiate themselves in an increasingly crowded market?
• How will the anticipated genericization of Otsuka’s Jynarque / Jinarc / Samsca affect the uptake of the branded and emerging therapies?
• What are the different reimbursement challenges that ADPKD therapies face in the United States, Europe, Japan, and China?
• What are the key unmet needs in ADPKD, and how likely are they to be met?
