Bone Marrow Failure - Market Insights, Epidemiology, and Market Forecast - 2034

Key Highlights

• Bone marrow failure could focus on its dual nature as both a rare and complex group of disorders where the body’s blood-forming capacity is critically impaired, bridging inherited genetic defects and acquired immune attacks. Unlike many diseases, bone marrow failure syndromes challenge clinicians with their overlapping symptoms, diverse causes, and the urgent need for personalized therapies highlighting the marrow’s essential role as the cradle of life’s vital cells and the delicate balance required to maintain hematopoietic health.
• Bone marrow failure encompasses a diverse spectrum of disorders broadly classified into inherited and acquired types, Inherited forms, such as Fanconi anemia and dyskeratosis congenita, reveal the profound impact of genetic mutations affecting DNA repair and telomere maintenance, acquired bone marrow failure, including aplastic anemia, typically arises from immune-mediated destruction or environmental exposures later in life.
• Bone marrow failure syndromes (BMFS), including aplastic anemia, are rare, with an annual incidence of 2 to 5 cases per million worldwide. While rare overall, the incidence varies geographically, with higher rates observed in Asia.
• Around 80–85% of Aplastic anemia is known to be acquired, leaving around 15%–20% as an inherited form.
• The most common inherited bone marrow failure is Fanconi anemia which occurs in 1 to 5 cases per million with a carrier frequency of 1 in 200 to 300; however, it is more common in Spanish gypsies (1 in 64).
• Treatment primarily focuses on immunosuppressive therapies, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, supportive care like transfusions, and newer agents like thrombopoietin receptor agonists (eltrombopag).
• The current FDA-approved drugs for bone marrow failure, includes REVOLADE/PROMACTA (eltrombopag), by Novartis and PIASKY (crovalimab) by Chugai Pharmaceutical/Roche.
• The emerging therapies for bone marrow failure include EXG34217 by Elixirgen Therapeutics and CK0801 by Cellenkos.

Bone Marrow Failure Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Bone Marrow Failure Overview

Bone marrow failure is a serious medical condition in which the bone marrow the soft, spongy tissue inside bones responsible for producing blood cells which fails to produce adequate amounts of one or more types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, frequent infections, and excessive bleeding. Bone marrow failure may result from inherited conditions (e.g., Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenita), acquired causes (e.g., aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes), exposure to toxins or radiation, autoimmune diseases, or certain infections.

Bone marrow failure can be classified into two main types: acquired and inherited. Acquired bone marrow failure typically develops gradually and is not present at birth. While the exact causes are not fully understood, it is often associated with exposure to certain chemicals, medications, or underlying diseases. In contrast, inherited bone marrow failure is caused by genetic mutations passed down from one or both biological parents. This form is often referred to as a bone marrow failure syndrome and usually presents earlier in life. The risk of bone marrow failure increases if one have lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and Myelodysplastic syndrome.

Bone Marrow Failure Diagnosis

The diagnosis of bone marrow failure involves a combination of clinical evaluation, blood tests, and bone marrow examination. Initial blood tests, including a complete blood count (CBC), often reveal low levels of one or more types of blood cells red cells, white cells, or platelets. Additional laboratory tests may assess vitamin levels, viral infections, and markers of immune activity. A bone marrow biopsy is essential to evaluate the structure, cellularity, and presence of abnormal cells within the marrow. In suspected inherited cases, genetic testing may be performed to identify underlying mutations. Together, these diagnostic tools help determine the type, severity, and potential cause of bone marrow failure, guiding appropriate treatment.

In order to determine the underlying causes or complications of bone marrow failure, imaging tests are helpful. Although imaging tests like X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs cannot be used to directly diagnose the failure, they can identify skeletal abnormalities, organ enlargement (such as the liver or spleen), or indications of infection or cancer that may be causing or contributing to bone marrow dysfunction. Differentiating between distinct bone marrow illnesses may be made easier by MRI's ability to evaluate bone marrow composition and identify cellularity alterations. Imaging can also show physical abnormalities that are indicative of hereditary disorders and help confirm the diagnosis.

Further details related to diagnosis will be provided in the report…

Bone Marrow Failure Treatment

The underlying cause, severity, and whether bone marrow failure is inherited or acquired all influence how it is treated. In order to control symptoms and avoid complications, supportive care methods including blood transfusions and antibiotics are frequently used. In situations when the immune system is attacking the bone marrow, such as in acquired aplastic anemia, immunosuppressive therapy, which includes medications like cyclosporine and ATGAM (antithymocyte globulin, ATG), may be utilised. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, often known as bone marrow transplantation, is a viable remedy for more severe or hereditary cases by substituting healthy donor cells for the damaged marrow. Additional therapies might address certain genetic flaws in inherited diseases, eliminate exposure to dangerous substances, or target underlying illnesses.

Bone Marrow Failure Epidemiology

The bone marrow failure epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by the total incident cases of bone marrow failure, total inherited subtypes-specific incident cases of bone marrow failure, age-specific incident cases of bone marrow failure, and etiology-specific incident cases of bone marrow failure in the 7MM market covering the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.

• Bone Marrow Failure incidence rate is 2 per million in Europe, with higher rates in Asia, perhaps resulting from environmental factors.
• As per the secondary research, a total of 127 patients diagnosed from 1966 through 2007 were registered: 52% had Fanconi Anemia (FA), 17% had Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SCN), 14% had Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA), 6% had Congenital Amegakaryotic Thrombocytopenia (CAT), 5% had Dyskeratosis Congenita (DC), , and 2% had Thrombocytopenia Absent Radius (TAR).
• Bone marrow failure has triphasic peaks: at 2 to 5 years (inherited is most common), between 20 to 25 years, and after 65 years (most likely due to acquired causes). The incidence of inherited bone marrow failure accounts for 10% to 15% of marrow aplasia and 30% of pediatric bone marrow failure disorders, with approximately 65 cases per million live births every year.
• The 5-year survival was 90.7% in patients aged 0–18 years, 90.5% in patients aged 19–39 years, 70.7% in patients aged 40–59 years, and 38.1% in patients aged ≥60 years.

REVOLADE/PROMACTA (eltrombopag): Novartis

REVOLADE, developed by Novartis and marketed under this name outside the US (known as PROMACTA in the US, is an oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist used to treat thrombocytopenia and severe aplastic anemia (SAA), a type of bone marrow failure. It stimulates bone marrow activity, promoting the production of blood cells especially platelets. Eltrombopag is approved for patients with SAA who are unresponsive to immunosuppressive therapy and is also used in combination with ATG and cyclosporine as part of first-line treatment in select cases.

• In November 2018, Novartis announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had expanded the approved use of PROMACTA to include its use as a first-line treatment alongside standard immunosuppressive therapy (IST) for adults and children aged two years and older with severe aplastic anemia (SAA).
• REVOLADE received Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) for treating low platelet counts in individuals exposed to radiation.

PIASKY (crovalimab): Chugai Pharmaceutical/Roche

PIASKY is a humanized monoclonal antibody. It functions as a complement C5 inhibitor, targeting the C5 protein in the complement system to prevent its cleavage into C5a and C5b. This inhibition blocks the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC), thereby reducing intravascular hemolysis and alleviating symptoms associated with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).

In August 2024, Roche announced that the European Commission has approved PIASKY (crovalimab), a novel recycling monoclonal antibody that targets the complement protein C5. It is approved for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older (weighing at least 40 kg) with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), including both treatment-naïve patients and those previously treated with C5 inhibitors.

Emerging Therapies

EXG34217: Elixirgen Therapeutics

EXG-34217 is an investigational autologous gene therapy developed by Elixirgen Therapeutics for treating bone marrow failure associated with telomere biology disorders such as dyskeratosis congenita.

The study is actively enrolling participants aged 12 and older, regardless of gender or ethnicity.

CK0801: Cellenkos

CK0801 is a first-in-class allogeneic cord blood–derived regulatory T-cell (Treg) therapy developed by Cellenkos to treat bone marrow failure syndromes, including aplastic anemia. Its mechanism involves homing to the inflamed bone marrow microenvironment and suppressing overactive cytotoxic T cells, thereby calming inflammation and potentially reversing hematopoietic arrest.

In June 2019, Cellenkos, has launched a Phase I clinical trial for CK0801, an allogeneic cord blood-derived regulatory T-cell therapy targeting bone marrow failure syndromes such as aplastic anemia, hypoplastic myelodysplasia, and primary myelofibrosis. CK0801 works by delivering healthy regulatory T-cells that suppress harmful cytotoxic T-cells in the bone marrow, reducing inflammation and restoring normal blood cell production.

Drug Class Insight

Gene transference

Gene transference is a therapeutic technique that involves introducing genetic material into a patient's cells to correct or compensate for a faulty gene. This is typically achieved using viral or non-viral vectors to deliver the gene into target cells, where it can either integrate into the genome or exist temporarily to produce a functional protein. By restoring or enhancing normal cellular function, gene transference offers a promising approach to treating a wide range of genetic and acquired diseases, including certain forms of bone marrow failure.

Bone Marrow Failure Market Outlook

Bone marrow failure (BMF) syndromes, including aplastic anemia and related disorders, involve the bone marrow's inability to produce sufficient blood cells, leading to anemia, increased infections, and bleeding risks. These conditions, often resulting from immune-mediated destruction or genetic mutations, require complex management strategies encompassing immunosuppressive therapies, thrombopoietin receptor agonists like PROMACTA/REVOLADE, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), which remains the only curative approach for many patients.

Key marketed drugs include thrombopoietin receptor agonists like eltrombopag that stimulate blood cell production, and supportive drugs for related marrow failure conditions. Research into novel therapies, including gene therapy and allogeneic regulatory T cell products such as CK0801, and EXG34217 is also progressing, aiming to improve outcomes by addressing underlying immune dysfunctions and genetic causes.

These pipeline therapies have the potential to significantly transform the treatment landscape of bone marrow failure market dynamics in the coming years. Additionally, the US FDA has approved RETACRIT, a biosimilar of epoetin alfa. RETACRIT is now the first and only biosimilar erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) authorized for use in the United States.
