Neurofibromatosis Treatment Drugs Market in Asia Pacific Is Driven By Approval and Launch of New Drugs
Neurofibromatosis
type 1is a debilitating genetic condition that can cause clinical issues such
as disfigurement, motor dysfunction, pain, airway dysfunction, visual
impairment and bladder or bowel dysfunction. Neurofibromatosis type 2 is associated
with vestibular schwannomas, or noncancerous tumors along the nerves in the
brain that are involved with hearing and balance. Recently, in July 2021, a research
in the U.S. indicated that the blood pressure drug losartan may benefit
patients with neurofibromatosis type 2. The research was conducted at
Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts Eye and Ear. Similarly in
October 2019, SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company, announced that the first patient has been dosed in
the Phase 2b ReNeu clinical trial evaluating mirdametinib, an oral, small
molecule designed to inhibit MEK1 and MEK2, in children and adult patients with
neurofibromatosis type 1-associated plexiform neurofibromas (NF1-PN). Thus,
R&D in neurofibromatosis treatment is expected to propel growth of the neurofibromatosis
treatment drugs market.
The
neurofibromatosis treatment drugs market in Europe is driven by approval and
launch of new drugs. For instance, in June 2021, the European Union granted
AstraZeneca and Merck’s Koselugo (selumetinib) approval for the treatment of
symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas in paediatric patients with
neurofibromatosis type 1 aged three years and above.
R&D
in neurofibromatosis treatment is expected to propel growth of the neurofibromatosis
treatment drugs market in North America. For instance, in January 2021, a
research in the U.S. demonstrated that the drug, cabozantinib, reduces tumor
volume and pain in patients with the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 1.
The research was conducted at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as part of
the Neurofibromatosis Clinical Trials Consortium.
The
neurofibromatosis
treatment drugs market in Asia Pacific is driven by approval and launch
of new drugs. For instance, in July 2020, AstraZeneca was granted orphan drug
designation for selumetinib in Japan for the treatment of neurofibromatosis
type 1. Moreover, government investment in R&D of neurofibromatosis is also
expected to aid in growth of the market in Asia Pacific. For instance, in
February 2021, The Australian
Government announced to invest US$ 8 million to support the Children’s Tumour
Foundation and research into neurofibromatosis.
Players
in the neurofibromatosis treatment drugs market are focused on adopting
partnership stringiest to expand their product portfolio. For instance, in July
2021, The Children’s Tumor
Foundation launched INTUITT-NF2, an innovative platform trial to evaluate
multiple treatments simultaneously. This initiative, in collaboration with Takeda
Pharmaceuticals, is a significant advancement in care for neurofibromatosis
type 2.
