Axial Spondyloarthritis | Unmet Need | Nonradiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis | US/EU5 | 2021

TNF-α inhibitors (AbbVie’s Humira, Amgen’s Enbrel, Janssen’s Remicade and Simponi, UCB’s Cimzia) are approved for the treatment of nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-AxSpA) in Europe and are increasingly used off-label in the United States, where Cimzia is the only FDA-approved TNF-α inhibitor for nr-AxSpA. In addition, IL-17 inhibitors—Novartis’s Cosentyx and Eli Lilly’s Taltz—were recently approved for this subpopulation in both regions. In this report, we examine areas of unmet need in the treatment of nr-AxSpA, including short-term efficacy, improvement in patient-reported outcomes, mechanism of action, safety and tolerability, delivery, and price. With quantitative insight into U.S. and European rheumatologists’ assessment of the unmet need in nr-AxSpA, we discuss the commercial opportunities for this difficult-to-diagnose indication and how emerging therapies may capitalize on these opportunities.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Unmet Need supports clinical development decisions by identifying key attributes and assessing areas of unmet need for a specific disease or subpopulation. Based on surveys with U.S. and European physicians, this report provides insight into key treatment drivers and goals, the performance of current therapies, and the remaining commercial opportunities. One market scenario is profiled in detail by Clarivate experts, and additional customized market scenarios can be evaluated with the corresponding TPP simulator.
