Diabetes affects more than an estimated 18 million people in the United States and approximately 194 million adults worldwide. The World Health Organization projects that the number of people with diabetes will double to 366 million by 2030.

Thiazolidediones (PPAR gamma agonists), such as Actos and Avandia, are currently the market leading therapeutic agents used to treat patients with type-2 diabetes, with 2007 worldwide sales of $3.5 billion and $1.7 billion respectively. However, drugs with novel mechanism that are currently in development such as DPP-IV (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibitors and GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) antagonists could pose a competitive threat to the market leaders in the near future. In this report, Austin Research Group profiles the 35 most promising compounds in mid-to-late stage development for the treatment of Type-2 Diabetes. The assessment provides decision makers with insight into the crowded R&D environment for Type-2 Diabetes therapeutics and analyzes clinical intelligence on key competitors that have the potential to impact the market over the next five to seven years.
