New Pharmaceuticals market report from GBI Research: "Frontier Pharma: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus - Identifying and Commercializing First-in-Class Innovation"

Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/02/2014 --The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) drug market is currently under-served by non-generic, targeted therapies. Whilst the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved biologic, Benlysta (belimumab), generated sales of $111m in 2012, there is little evidence that the drug's performance is significantly superior to other B-cell targeted therapies such as Rituxan (rituximab), which is often used off-license to treat refractory SLE patients. Therapeutics entering the market therefore do not face the staggering level of competition from currently marketed programs as in other markets such as the Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) market. Emerging market entrants that appear to offer significant therapeutic benefits are likely to cause dramatic changes to the market landscape.

A growing understanding of the signaling pathways underlying SLE pathophysiology including, but not limited to, B cells, T cells and intracellular kinases, is translating into a higher number of novel, and more importantly, first-in-class targeted therapeutics entering the developmental pipeline. In particular, a high level of investment in the development of cytokine-blocking strategies is evident, as therapies targeting the interferon pathway are relatively common in the pipeline.
