peripheral ulcerative keratitis therapeutics – pipeline asse

1. Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis Therapeutics - PipelineAssessment and Market Forecasts to 2017

2. Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis Therapeutics Market is forecast to Show Slow Growth to 2017 GlobalData valued the global Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis (PUK) therapeutics market at $418m in 2010 and forecast it to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.4% to reach $690m by 2017. This growth is primarily attributed to the expected increase in the general population. The increased use of contact lenses will also lead to a marginal increase in infectious PUK. Absence of Approved Drugs The PUK therapeutics market has high unmet needs because there are no approved drugs for treatment. This implies that the market is only moderately served by the current products, which leaves wide scope for the launch of new technology and products that can capture the market. Corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and biologics are the currently available therapeutic options. An approved product with enhanced efficacy and safety is likely to achieve blockbuster status, with the potential to capture a significant share of the market. Lack of Pipeline Products Likely to Result in a Stagnant Market for Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis There are currently no molecules under clinical development in the PUK therapeutics market. This indicates that pharmaceutical companies are not focused on the research and development of new therapies for PUK.

3. This primarily attributed to a complex etiology and pathophysiology of PUK as it involves different causative factors as well as different mechanistic pathways which lead to the development of PUK. A complex pathophysiology represents a challenging clinical development environment and may not be favorable to the development of a single drug which can block multiple pathophysiologic pathways and ultimately present a cure for the disease.
