Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a member of the herpesvirus family and is widely prevalent throughout the population. In the US around 50-80% of adults are infected by 40 years of age (US CDC figures) whereas in other parts of the world, especially developing countries, prevalence is much higher even at younger ages. Usually CMV infections are dormant causing no significant health issues, however, in certain populations with a weakened immune system e.g. HIV, transplants (HSCT) the virus can reactivate can cause disease e.g. pneumonia. CMV infection is also a concern in the neonate after transmission from a pregnant women pre or post partum. Approximately 1 in 150 children is born with a congenital CMV infection and 1 in 750 born with permanent disabilities due to the virus.

Vaccine manufacturers are currently pursuing both therapeutic (TX) and prophylatic (PX ) CMV vaccine approaches. The most advanced program is Sanofi Pasteur’s gB vaccine (+ MF59 adjuvant) where protective efficacy has been shown in post-partum women (Phase II). Other notable approaches are Vical’s VCL-CB01 DNA-based approach in HSCT seropositive recipient (Phase II). This MarketVIEW product is a comprehensive MS Excel-based model + summary presentation which forecasts the potential commercial value of Cytomegalovirus vaccines (TX +PX approaches) across major Western and emerging markets to 2030. The model contains value ($ m) and volume (mio doses) predictions along with launch timeframe, pricing and penetration estimates. LO/BASE/HI forecast scenarios are included based upon the level of populations targeted, which in turn are influenced by vaccine mechanism of action and vaccinee serostatus.
