1.1 Scope of the analysis 3

1.2 Datamonitor insight into the antipsychotics pipeline 3

Following safety concerns with key late stage products, namely Novartis’ Zomaril (iloperidone) and Lundbeck’s Serdolect (sertindole), Datamonitor believes that the antipsychotic pipeline is unlikely to provide a blockbuster drug over the forecast period, 2003-2011. Datamonitor believes out-licensing is the best option for Novartis and Lundbeck, although finding a buyer will prove difficult. 4

The remaining Phase III drugs include Lundbeck/Solvay’s bifeprunox, Dainippon’s Lonasen, and Organon/Pfizer’s asenapine, all of which are MNRAs. Datamonitor believes that bifeprunox has the greatest market potential, based upon the drugs superior efficacy and side effect profile; although the recent collaboration of Organon and Pfizer over the development of asenapine, indicates that the drug has strong therapeutic and commercial capabilities. 5

The majority of antipsychotics in Phase II development and below demonstrate a paradigm shift from the traditional D2 dopamine and 5-HT2 serotonin receptor antagonism to alternative dopaminergic and serotonergic receptor targeting, in addition to a plethora of novel neurotransmitter receptors. Datamonitor believes that although this demonstrates a transition towards the potential future treatment strategy of polytherapy, a number of hurdles have to be approached first. 7

Abstract

Introduction
The antipsychotic market is worth an estimated $10.7 billion and is led by Eli Lilly’s blockbuster Zyprexa. After 2007, the market is expected to plateau due to the genericization of Janssen’s Risperdal and Pfizer’s Geodon. However, Bristol-Myers Squibb’s dopaminergic modulator Abilify, launched in 2002. has acheived good uptake and is predicted to reach blockbuster status by 2009.

Scope
Detailed coverage of the patient potential, unmet needs, and clinical trial design of antipsychotics across the seven major markets

Overview of drugs in preregistration, Phase III, II, I and preclinical development, with in-depth profiles of Organon and Sanofi-Synthelabo

Profiles of compounds undergoing development for schizophrenia, with sales forecasts to 2011

Insight into current research for novel diagnostic tests and the genetic basis of psychosis

Report Highlights
The current late stage antipsychotic pipeline is unlikely to yield a blockbuster product over the forecast period. Novartis has discontinued research of Zomaril with the drug now available for out-licensing, leaving Novartis’ antipsychotic pipeline empty.

Lundbeck’s Serdolect is set for relaunch in 2005, with post-marketing studies demonstrating that the drugs efficacy and safety profile is comparable to current frontline antipsychotics. However, Datamonitor is unsure whether this is enough to dispel the negative association with heart problems.

Novel neurotransmitter receptor ligands form the majority of drugs in Phase II and below. Due to the predicted high specificity and narrowed spectrum of efficacy, Datamonitor believes these compounds will be investigated as adjuncts, as a precursor to the predicted future of polytherapy.

Reasons to Purchase
Understand unmet needs in the antipsychotics market to identify new opportunities

Assess the commercial potential of new products entering the market

Identify in-licensing and co-promotional opportunities
