Biogen Idec’s Long-acting Agents to Have
Major Impact on Hemophilia Treatment Market
The hemophilia treatment landscape is to
undergo a radical shift away from established short-acting therapies, beginning
with the launch of Biogen Idec’s long-acting rFVIII and rFIX products this
year, according to report.
The company’s report also states that
the patient shares of currently marketed short-acting recombinant products will
erode considerably by 2022 across seven major markets (the US, France, Germany,
Italy, Spain, the UK and Japan).
Senior Analyst covering Oncology and
Hematology, says: “Biogen Idec’s new treatments have the potential to reduce
the number of weekly prophylactic infusions and greatly improve patients’
convenience and quality of life.
By pricing its long-acting agents,
namely Eloctate and Alprolix, in line with the established short-acting
recombinant factors, Biogen Idec aims to incentivize patients to switch from
their previous therapies.
The forecasts that peak-year US sales
for Eloctate and Alprolix will reach $786 million and $349 million by 2022,
respectively.
Another key factor behind Biogen Idec’s
anticipated success will be its treatments’ first-to-market position among
therapies of the same class, as it seeks to take a share of the market from
established hemophilia players, such as Baxter, Novo Nordisk, Bayer and CSL
Behring.
Senior Analyst explains: “Eloctate and
Alprolix launched in the US this year, ahead of their competitors in the
hemophilia A and B markets, respectively.
As physicians view these and other
emerging long-acting pipeline drugs as offering equivalent levels of clinical
benefit, with few distinguishing attributes to influence patient preference,
time-to-market and pricing will be pivotal in determining product uptake.
