How Can Novel Biologics Targeting Niche Populations Maximize Uptake in an Increasingly Competitive Marketplace?

Although several effective anti-inflammatory agents and bronchodilators are currently available for controlling disease in mild asthmatics, unmet needs exist in treating moderate to severe disease. Novel biological therapies in the pipeline hold a potential to address unmet need for severe, refractory patients, particularly those who experience severe exacerbations. According to our survey results, the most opportunity for differentiation exists for therapies offering enhanced efficacy in reducing the exacerbation rate in moderate to severe asthma, compared with leading marketed agents. Furthermore, novel agents’ strong efficacy in reducing the exacerbation rate will hold considerable influence on physicians’ prescribing and payers’ reimbursement decisions as competition among numerous pharmacological agents increases in the moderate to severe asthma market.
