Some of the most promising generic drug opportunities due to come off patent in the USA and Europe over the next few years are injectable
This new report focuses on the market potential for sterile drugs delivered by injection or infusion. These drugs are used to treat major illnesses, such as cancer, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, acute cardiovascular conditions and severe infections. More than one third of the injectable generics approved in the US during the last five years are used in cancer therapy.
A further 23% are anti-infectives, 16% are used in the CNS setting and 9% are used for cardiovascular therapy.
A relatively small number of injectable drugs have received significant attention from generic companies, resulting in the approval of numerous versions following patent expiry. Some of these are high profile cancer drugs. For example, when Bristol-Myers Squibb's Paraplatin (carboplatin) became generically available 11 companies received FDA approval for generic versions.
Significant opportunities still exist
Obviously where intense competition exists, the potential for significant market share is reduced. The vast majority of injectable generics are, however, less hotly contested. For more than half of the injectable generics approved since 2003, just one or two manufacturers have received ANDA approvals and over 85% of molecules have less than five generic competitors. While the potential market may not be as valuable for these products, with less competition for price reductions, higher profit margins than have traditionally been available for oral generics are possible. Companies are, therefore, able to capitalise on opportunities for specialty injectable generics in niche areas.
