Type 2 Diabetes | Unmet Need | Oral Medications | US/EU | 2020
The type 2 diabetes (T2D) drug market is expected to expand, fueled by a rich pipeline of agents. However, growth will be tempered because these emerging therapies will be predominantly later-to-market entrants of existing drug classes or combination treatments. Owing to the increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) and kidney disease associated with T2D, a high unmet need exists for affordable drugs that can safely and effectively manage this disease in the long term. The sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, such as AstraZeneca’s Farxiga / Forxiga, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, such as Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic, are offering hope for greater CV and renal benefits. However, the physical and financial impacts of T2D continue to increase, highlighting the need for more-effective and more-affordable drug treatments.
