Axial Spondyloarthritis – Landscape & Forecast – Disease Landscape & Forecast (G7)

The axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) therapy market includes biologics from two distinct drug classes: TNF-alpha inhibitors (Amgen / Pfizer’s Enbrel, AbbVie’s Humira, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine’s Remicade and Simponi / Simponi Aria, and UCB’s Cimzia) and IL-17 inhibitors (Novartis’s Cosentyx and Eli Lilly’s Taltz). TNF-alpha inhibitors are the most prescribed biologics for AxSpA that is refractory to NSAIDs, but branded TNF-alpha inhibitors face competition from the cost-effective biosimilars and the growing IL-17 class. In 2019, the FDA approved Cimzia for nonradiographic (nr)-AxSpA, the first FDA approval for this subpopulation, followed by both IL-17 inhibitors in June 2020 and AbbVie’s Rinvoq in October 2022. The approval of novel oral targeted therapies—JAK inhibitors (Rinvoq and Pfizer’s Xeljanz)—for ankylosing spondylitis and the recent approval of an additional IL-17 inhibitor (UCB’s Bimzelx) for AxSpA will only heighten the competition and further reshape the treatment of this disease.

Questions answered:

• How large is the treatable AxSpA population, and how will diagnosis / drug-treatment rates change over time?
• What are the interviewed experts’ insights on current treatment options for AS and nr-AxSpA? What clinical needs remain unfulfilled?
• What pipeline products are the most promising, and what key therapies are in early-phase development?
• What are the interviewed experts’ opinions of the use of Bimzelx, Xeljanz and Rinvoq for AS? What sales / uptake could JAK inhibitors secure in AxSpA?
• What are the drivers of and constraints in the AxSpA therapy market, and how will the market evolve over the forecast period?
