Therapeutic Pathway Anti-Inflammatory Drugs & Markets, Technology, Indications, Markets & Forecasts

This new market study, "Therapeutic Pathway Anti-Inflammatory Drugs & Markets" is a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of the technology, products and participants providing the driving force behind this growing segment of the drug delivery sector. The report has been designed and developed to provide pharmaceutical company decision makers, drug developers and formulators, drug device designers, and industry strategists with a detailed understanding of the expanding impact of inhaled CNS therapies on pharmaceutical strategies and healthcare treatment protocols. Provider organization business managers, healthcare administrators and investors will also benefit from this publication.

Converging Factors Driving

Delivering drugs to the central nervous system presents unique challenges. But, drug developers and researchers have discovered that delivering CNS therapeutic drugs via inhalation mitigates several of these issues. The accessibility and vascular structure of the nose make it an attractive route for delivering both small molecule drugs and biologics across the blood-brain barrier to the CNS. Pulmonary delivery to the deep lung can have favorable pharmacokinetics. And inhaled delivery offers the potential for faster onset of action and less frequent dosing relative to oral drugs. These potential advantages have spurred activity in inhaled CNS therapeutics for a range of disorders. As aging population demographics and managed care initiatives drive growth in home health care and self-administration of drug therapies, inhaled medicine is increasingly being viewed as patient-friendly and cost-effective. Our analysis indicated that inhaled CNS administration is well positioned to take advantage of these trends and evolve into a significant factor in the future of pharmaceutical development and commercialization of CNS therapeutic drugs.

The IL-23/IL-17 axis as a therapeutic target in autoimmunity The identification of the IL-23/IL-17 axis as critical for human autoimmune disease has led to the approval and rapid development of novel therapeutic agents. Monoclonal antibodies to a variety of cytokines and cytokine receptors and small-molecule inhibitors of RORyt and JAKs are changing the therapeutic landscape, with three dozen distinct products now approved or in clinical development. Humanized monoclonal antibodies to both IL-17 and IL-17RA are enabling improved outcomes for moderate to severe psoriasis as well as psoriatic arthritis.
