Description

Chronic Hepatitis B Therapeutics: Seven-Market Drug Forecast and Market Analysis

Summary

The report provides an in-depth assessment of the CHB therapeutics market including disease overview, epidemiology, disease management, current treatment options, unmet needs and opportunities, R&D strategies, pipeline assessment, current and future players, and market outlook.

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a member of the Orthohepadnavirus genus, from the Hepadnaviridae family. HBV is transmitted through infected blood and body fluids, most commonly through unprotected sex and contaminated needles. HBV can also be transmitted from mother to child at birth, which is particularly common within highly endemic regions. Acute hepatitis B is a short-term illness that occurs within the first six months following HBV exposure. However, if the body fails to clear the virus after six months, chronic hepatitis B (CHB) virus infection occurs. CHB is specifically defined by the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in a patient's serum for at least six months. CHB is a lifelong disease for most patients, who are then at a high risk of developing life-threatening complications including liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

GlobalData forecasts the global CHB marketplace-which, for the purposes of this report, comprises seven major pharmaceutical markets (7MM: US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan)-to experience growth during the forecast period. This growth will be driven primarily by the highly anticipated arrival of CHB functional cures, which include GSK's toll like receptor 8 agonist, bepirovirsen; Gilead Sciences' toll like receptor 8 agonist, selgantolimod; Aligos Therapeutics' capsid protein inhibitor, ALG-000184; and Arbutus Biopharma's HBV surface antigen inhibitor, imdusiran. Nevertheless, patent expiries, generic erosion across the 7MM, and reductions in the diagnosed prevalent cases are expected to curtail market growth.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
