Narcolepsy – Executive Insights – Executive Insights (US)
MARKET OVERVIEW
The narcolepsy market has been characterized by a lack of available and on-label therapies as well as low diagnosis rates because patients often do not seek treatment; however, the market appears poised for expansion over the next ten years. The few available on-label therapies are considered to have high abuse potential, presenting obstacles for prescription as well as administration. Emerging agents are likely to expand treatment options. Some early-phase drugs offer a novel mode of administration or mechanism of action. Furthermore, at least one therapy in development (pitolisant) is not expected to be listed as a controlled substance, which is likely to reduce physician and patient concerns around prescribing, allowing for higher treatment rates. With a combined early- and late-phase development pipeline extending through at least 2027, DRG forecasts strong growth in the narcolepsy market over the next ten years.
