Piribo: Pipeline Insight: Insulins, new publication announcement

This report expects the continuously growing prevalence of diabetes to drive growth in diabetes drug spending, potentially benefiting market uptake of novel insulin therapies. A set of novel, non-injectable insulins are poised to become available to patients in the next five years. By 2010, the market will thus have to absorb Pfizer's Exubera and at least three other inhalable insulins.

Highlights
The diabetes market is worthy of investment because of the endemic size of its patient pool which is set to grow further. However, the efficacy of marketed injectable insulins is difficult to improve upon and this is reflected in the R&D pipeline for insulins, comprising a small set of only 17 novel insulin products in clinical development.Datamonitor has identified three late-stage insulins likely to be launched into the diabetes market within the next five years. These are the inhalable formulations AERx-iDMS, AIR and Technosphere all of which may coexist with Exubera because their technical diversity is likely to cater for a wide spectrum of patient needs and preference.The diabetes market will not be receptive to inhalable insulins until compelling data are generated that demonstrate compelling clinical benefits of inhalable insulins over injectables. This view is supported by the recent cost-benefit analyses of it by Germany's IQWiG and UK's NICE, and the distinct lack of opinion leader enthusiasm about Exubera.
