CHAPTER 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Scope of the analysis

Datamonitor insight into the antithrombotics market


The R&D pipeline for antithrombotics is a Phase II-heavy cornucopia of novel agents

Of the three antithrombotic classes only the anticoagulant class and the antiplatelet class comprise drugs with blockbuster potential

There is little commercial potential for novel parenteral anticoagulants and for thrombolytics

Lifecycle management of established brands erects market entry barriers for novel agents

Abstract

Introduction
Datamonitor estimates the total revenue generated from new antithrombotics in the seven major markets will reach approximately $10bn by 2015, with novel oral anticoagulants contributing over 70% to this volume. However, barriers to entry exist and developmental antithrombotics must pursue an aggressive development strategy to compete successfully with well-established gold-standard therapies.

Scope
  • Assessment of the patient potential for developmental antithrombotics in the major thrombosis indications over the period 2005-15
  • Overview of the antithrombotic R&D pipeline with detailed information on the classes in development
  • Commercial analysis of key compounds in development in terms of their ability to satisfy unmet needs, supported by the views of key opinion leaders
  • Sales forecasts for key late-stage developmental antithrombotics in the seven major markets to 2015
Highlights
After the demise of AstraZeneca's anticoagulant Exanta, Boehringer Ingelheim's BIBR-1048 and Bayer's BAY-597939 are next in line with a chance to switch warfarin-treated patients and grow the market by recruiting the previously untreated population.

Prasugrel and cangrelor are the most promising developmental antiplatelets with the potential to successfully challenge established drugs such as clopidogrel and GPIIb/IIIa blockers.

Developmental thrombolytics hold little commercial promise because of established competitors, niche-focused launch strategies, and the overall decline of the thrombolytics market, driven by the increase in cardiovascular surgery.

Reasons to Purchase
  • Understand the key factors that will contribute to the success of the next generation of antithrombotics
  • Assess and beat the barriers to entry created by the lifecycle strategies of existing market players
  • Find out what market opportunities remain where developmental anticoagulants, antiplatelets and thrombolytics are unable to fulfill unmet needs
