Major Depressive Disorder | Disease Landscape and Forecast | G7 | 2024
The major depressive disorder (MDD) therapy market is crowded and highly genericized. The prominent use of generic drugs such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as early-line treatments contributes to the challenges that branded therapies face when entering this market. Brand-only drugs (e.g., Lundbeck / Takeda’s Trintellix / Brintellix, Lundbeck / Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Rexulti / Rxulti, AbbVie’s Vraylar) largely compete for use in treatment-refractory patients. Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine’s Spravato offers a fast onset of therapeutic effect compared with the approved therapies, an attribute that fulfills a key unmet need; however, its use for treatment-resistant depression is constrained by multiple factors. Owing to the remaining unmet needs, physicians will continue to look to emerging therapies—many of which offer novel mechanisms of action—as potential future treatments in this market.
