Unipolar Depression | Disease Landscape & Forecast | Major Depressive Disorder | G7 | 2022
The unipolar depression therapy market is crowded and highly genericized. The prominent use of drugs such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as early-line treatments contributes to the challenges that branded therapies face when entering this market. Newer-to-market brands (e.g., Lundbeck / Takeda’s Trintellix / Brintellix, Lundbeck / Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Rexulti / Rxulti) largely compete for use in inadequate responders / treatment-resistant depression (TRD) patients; TRD patients make up one-third of the major depressive disorder (MDD) population. The most recent entrant to the depression market, Janssen’s Spravato, has the fastest onset of therapeutic effect among the approved therapies—fulfilling a key unmet need—but its use for TRD is constrained by multiple factors. Because of the substantial remaining unmet need in MDD treatment, physicians will continue to look to emerging therapies—many of which offer novel mechanisms of action—as potential treatments in this market.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- What is the current size of the MDD therapy market in the G7 countries? What key events will influence the market over the next decade?
- What factors drive and constrain the use of branded antidepressants and atypical antipsychotics in MDD? What branded therapy is expected to experience the most commercial success during the forecast period?
- What are the areas of most unmet need in the treatment of unipolar depression? Which late-phase therapies have the potential to fulfill these needs?
- What improvements would key late-phase therapies need to demonstrate in order to compete effectively in this crowded market? Where will these agents be placed in the treatment algorithm?
