CHAPTER 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3

Scope of the analysis 3

Datamonitor insight into the nociceptive pain market 4

There are few novel drugs in the nociceptive pain pipeline, and market specialization is currently the most popular drug development strategy. 4

Morphine is still the most effective treatment available for nociceptive pain, and nothing in the pipeline looks set to replace it for the foreseeable future. 6

In-depth trial data on the safety of new NSAID drugs is key to their success in a market where it may be the only factor with which to differentiate between drugs. After Vioxx’s withdrawal, longer and more detailed trials will be needed. 7

Many of the pipeline drugs for nociceptive pain are reformulations of previously marketed drugs, or drug types. It is doubtful this strategy will bring much success when experts prefer standard oral tablets, and it is a trend that cannot continue for much longer 9

Abstract

Introduction
The nociceptive pain pipeline contains few novel drugs, instead being filled with reformulations and drug combinations. To make a drug stand out in this replete market, particularly at a time when there is great public concern about drug withdrawals, it must have an unquestionable safety profile, proven over long-term trials.

Scope
Epidemiology of nociceptive pain across the seven major markets, as well as analysis of the main unmet needs in the current treatment of the disease
Overview of drugs in Phase III, II, I and preclinical development, plus analysis of key companies involved in the R&D pipeline: GSK, Merck and Endo
Comprehensive analysis of key late-stage products including DepoDur, Ionsys, Prexige, Prialt & THC monotherapy, with drug revenues forecast to 2014
Insight into innovative early stage products, including vanilloid and Bradykinin receptors, plus analysis of key research into gene therapy for pain
Highlights
Although pain is not a new phenomenon, better education for patients, physicians, nurses and pharmacists is still an unmet need. The current range of therapies should be sufficient for pain relief if used knowledgably.

New COX-2 inhibiting drugs will have to provide impeccable safety data from long-term trials before gaining approval in the current climate where the whole class of drugs is suspect. If safety can be proved, the market is relatively small, and new entrants may do well.

While experts believe morphine is still the most effective painkiller available, it can be improved upon in terms of convenience and side effects. Many opioids in development are reformulations of old drugssustained release, or patch deliveryor receptor-specific drugs aiming to reduce side effects.

Reasons to Purchase
Enhance your sales forecasting ability and future product positioning through identification of market drivers and key competitors
Optimize your knowledge of company strategies in the nociceptive pain market
Identify areas of the market that are not being targeted by competitors
