Abstract

Metabolic Syndrome: Pipeline Analysis and U.S. Market Forecast is a thorough evaluation of marketed therapies and drugs in development for obesity, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension.

Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of risk factors for atherosclerotic disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus comprising obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The eligible treatment population in the U.S. for these four conditions is currently 40 million patients and will nearly double over the next 15 years, bringing unprecedented social and economic impacts.

Specifically, this report:
• Reveals the latest findings about the interactions among widely prevalent lifestyle factors such as poor nutrition, being overweight, and sedentary lifestyle, and how they contribute to insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and high blood pressure.
• Assesses the strengths and weaknesses of 13 R&D pipelines focused on metabolic syndrome, comparing products and mechanisms in each disease category against one another and against the gold standard.
• Presents 15-year forecasts of sales in the U.S. of marketed and investigative therapies for each of the four disorders, taking into account unmet medical need, changes in epidemiology, patent expirations, and competitive drug launches.
• Spotlights the most promising drugs and early-stage mechanisms of action and the likely timeframe for their launch.
