Summary


The asthma, COPD and allergic rhinitis global market was $25.5 billion in 2004, with five brands selling over $1.0 billion. While a number of moderately successful launches are expected within the next five years, companies are seeking novel combination therapies to create the next generation of blockbuster drugs.

  • Evaluation of over 75 drugs in clinical development for asthma, COPD, and allergic rhinitis, including launch forecasts
  • Opinion leader insight into early stage therapies and treatment strategies
  • Forecasts of key late-stage therapies: Alvesco (ciclesonide), Daxas (roflumilast), Xolair (omalizumab), Xopenex (levalbuterol)h3>
  • Forecasted sales of the respiratory market in the next 10 years, exploring the potential impact of early phase therapies

Inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting b2-agonist fixed combinations will remain the leading asthma/COPD class in 2015, almost exclusively represented by sales of GSK's "Super Advair", with its once-daily profile setting the new gold standard.

Merck may invigorate the oral asthma market through the development of a Singulair/ prostaglandin-D2 combination product, while monoclonal antibodies will be the fastest growing asthma class, with therapies that are effective in non-atopic asthma having a $1.0 billion sales opportunity.

Novel, long-acting, dual-action bronchodilator combinations will expand the COPD market from 2012, with novel triple combinations on the horizon. Altana/Pfizer's Daxas will achieve peak sales of $750 million by 2010, although 12-month data and combination trials with Spiriva will be key to success.

  • Understand unmet needs in the respiratory market, and how late-stage compounds address these needs
  • Identify potential licensing opportunities for respiratory market entry or portfolio expansion
  • Benchmark key late-stage asthma and COPD compounds against market leaders
