Crohn’s Disease – Unmet Need – Detailed, Expanded Analysis (US & EU)
TNF-alpha inhibitors (e.g., Janssen’s Remicade, AbbVie’s Humira) are the mainstay of biological treatment for moderate to severe Crohn’s disease (CD), while non-TNF biologics (i.e., Takeda’s Entyvio, a CAM inhibitor, Janssen’s Stelara, an IL-12/23 inhibitor, and AbbVie’s Skyrizi, an IL-23 inhibitor) are mostly used as later-line therapies, following anti-TNF failure. These agents have safety risks and efficacy limitations, and the launch of biosimilar alternatives has only increased the complexity of CD treatment. Meanwhile, significant need remains, especially in the treatment of patients with CD refractory to available therapies and those with fistulizing disease.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- What are the treatment drivers and goals for moderate to severe CD?
- Which drug attributes are key influences, which have limited impact, and which are hidden opportunities?
- How do current therapies perform on key treatment drivers and goals for moderate to severe CD?
- What are the prevailing areas of unmet need and opportunity in moderate to severe CD?
- What trade-offs across different clinical attributes and price are acceptable to U.S. and European gastroenterologists for a hypothetical new moderate to severe CD drug?
