Stakeholder Opinions: Biomarkers in Rheumatology - Awaiting the next step towards personalized medicine published by Datamonitor in December, 2009. This report consists of 106 pages and the price starts from US $ 3800.
Abstract
Introduction
The growing recognition from companies of the applied benefits from biomarkers
in rheumatology has spurred commercial interest in this field. Despite the
lack of major advancements, the hope remains that soon rheumatologists will be
able to predict response to expensive biologic therapies and match specific
treatments to patients based upon biomarker profiles.
Scope of this research
- Classification and overview of biomarkers used in routine clinical
practice across five rheumatology indications.
- Identification of potentially promising future biomarkers and assays with
insight from key opinion leaders from the seven major markets.
- Overview of key companies actively involved in biomarker R&D, with review
of latest data presented at international rheumatology conferences.
- Assessment of the market impact of biomarkers across different facets
including: diagnosis, drug development and clinical trial design, and
treatment.
Research and analysis highlights
Future biomarkers will help stratify patient subgroups, aid treatment
positioning and healthcare costs, but a personalized approach will ultimately
lead to market fragmentation. As competition among marketed products
increases, biomarkers and a shift towards market stratification is one way of
ensuring new products get to market and find a niche.
Oncology leads the way with a personalized medicine approach, but unless there
is a significant breakthrough, rheumatologists estimate this tailored
treatment approach will be a minimum of 5 years away for chronic diseases,
such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Ensuring that biomarker assays have adequate and extensive reimbursement is
vital for uptake, and will involve demonstrating cost-effectiveness through
clinical trials and healthcare economics. While necessary, this will be
expensive, and there is also the risk that if not cost-effective, novel
biomarker assays could be excluded from clinical use.
Key reasons to purchase this research
- Understand the drivers and resistors behind biomarker identification and
validation, and learn which biomarkers have the greatest future potential.
- Learn which companies are active in the biomarker field, what approaches
they are adopting and the commercialization issues they face.
- Appreciate the potential market impact form a personalized treatment
approach in rheumatology, with case studies from other fields of medicine.
