For emerging agents, the barrier to entry is high in the absence of clear advantages over marketed therapies. Moreover, biosimilars of infliximab have launched in Japan and the EU5 countries, and biosimilars of other market-leading biologics will launch for RA over the next few years. Thus, competition in the RA market is becoming increasingly fierce. ?However, market opportunity remains for alternative biologics and oral compounds; in particular, oral Jak inhibitors could have a substantial impact on the current treatment algorithm for RA. Pfizer\/Takeda\u2019s\u00a0Jak\u00a0inhibitor tofacitinib (Xeljanz) is mainly prescribed to RA patients failing treatment with biologics, but as\u00a0rheumatologists\u00a0gain more experience with the agent\u2019s safety profile, tofacitinib and emerging Jak inhibitors, such as baricitinib, could increasingly be used in earlier lines of therapy.\u00a0This report offers a detailed analysis and an annualized ten-year forecast of the RA therapy market in the major pharmaceutical markets during the 2014-2024 study period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-391208","report","type-report","status-publish","hentry","report-gateway-biopharma","biopharma-therapy-areas-rheumatoid-arthritis","biopharma-date-717"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/391208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/report"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/391208\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":394331,"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/391208\/revisions\/394331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
