Infantile spasm is a rare disorder that appears as seizures in infants below 1 year. Infantile spasm causes series of sudden, jerking movements of legs and arms or fast drop of head. The duration of spasm can last up to couple of seconds. Major drugs used for the treatment of infantile spasm include adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), however, due to its side effects, doctors also prefer anti-seizure drugs such as vigabatrin and other steroid therapies.
Increasing prevalence of central nervous system infection, may develop infantile spasm which in turn is expected to boost the infantile spasm treatment market. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), in January 2018, the prevalence of infantile spasm was 2 to 3.5 infants per 10,000 live births.
Government initiatives for rare disease treatment is expected to boost the market growth. For instance, The American Academy of Pediatrics also works with the Child Neurology Society, Child Neurology Foundation, American College of Emergency Physicians, and other partners to build advocacy, identify awareness gaps, and expand outreach opportunities.
The relapse or reoccurrence of infantile spasm is a major factor driving growth of the infantile spasm treatment market. According to investigators from Okayama University Hospital, Japan, after the treatment of infantile spasm with ACTH therapy for 11 to 37 days, the disease reoccurred in 41% of the people under study.
Moreover, the government of Brazil in year 2017 amended its regulatory rules for approving drugs for rare disease. In December 2017, Brazilian regulatory agency, Agencia Nacional de Vigilancia Sanitaria (ANVISA) published Resolution RDC 205/2017, regulating special procedures for clinical trials, registration, and certification of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) of drugs intended to treat, prevent or diagnose rare diseases such as infantile spasm.
