  • Gout is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis, characterized by painful and disabling acute attacks. It is caused by hyperuricemia and the deposition of urate crystals, in and around the joints. Long-standing untreated hyperuricemia can lead to chronic arthritis, joint damage, tophi formation, and urate nephropathy. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics and National Health Survey 2017-2018, estimated that 187,000 Australians (0.8% of the population) suffer from gout conditions. Gout is more common in males than females, almost 9 in 10 (87%) people with gout are males. Hence, the demand for your treatment is increasing, which is expected to show growth over the forecast period.
  • Also, increasing government initiatives and awareness towards gout cause and treatment is expected to boost the growth of the market. For instance, in May 2016, the Arthritis Foundation and Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. launched the Let’s Speak Gout program, which offers tools for health care professionals and patients to make more effective gouty arthritis management a priority.
  • In May 2018, Horizon Pharma plc marked Gout Awareness Day by launching Gout Revealed, which was created to spotlight real-life stories of people living with uncontrolled gout.

For instance, on October 29th, 2019, Researchers at the Washington State University Health Sciences Spokane and elsewhere have identified a new therapeutic target for the treatment of gout. The research lays the foundation for the development of new treatment strategies that could significantly improve the quality of life of millions of people around the world who suffer from the condition. In the United States alone, gout affects an estimated 8.3 million people or about 4 percent of the population.
  • With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, several companies are testing their drugs for its treatment. For instance, on June 22nd, 2020, anti-viral drug Favipiravir (Fabiflu) was approved for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 patients will be commercialized full scale in a week, says drugmaker Glenmark Pharmaceuticals. The Drug Controller General of India approved the anti-viral for 'restricted emergency use' for treatment of mild to moderate cases, which accounts for a majority of COVID-19 infections.
  • However, the growth of the market is likely to hamper by side effects caused by grout drugs. For instance, the side effects of allopurinol include rash and low blood counts. Febuxostat side effects include rash, nausea, reduced liver function, and an increased risk of heart-related death. Also, the side effects of corticosteroids may include mood changes, increased blood sugar levels, and elevated blood pressure.

 

Segment Analysis

  • By drug class, the gout therapeutics market is segmented into non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antihyperuricemic agents (urate-lowering drugs), corticosteroids, colchicine, and others. Among these, the antihyperuricemic agent's segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Some of the most common urate-lowering drugs used are xanthine oxidase inhibitors (allopurinol and febuxostat), uricases (pegloticase and rasburicase), and uricosuric medications (benzbromarone, probenecid, and sulfinpyrazone). With rising preference and for these drugs for the treatment of gout is boosting the growth of the market over the forecast period.
  • On the other hand, the NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and colchicine are majorly used to treat acute gout.

NSAIDs decrease pain and swelling. Some NSAIDs are available over-the-counter, like ibuprofen and naproxen sodium. Stronger NSAIDs like indomethacin and celecoxib are prescribed by the doctor.
  • Colchicine is considered to be second-line therapy, used in patients unable to tolerate NSAIDs. These drugs have the ability to inhibit acute inflammatory response by restraining neutrophil adhesion, chemotaxis, and motility. On March 2nd, 2020, Avion Pharmaceuticals launched the Gloperba (colchicine, a ready-to-use solution for oral administration for prophylaxis of gout flares in adults. The approval was based on evidence from published literature supporting the efficacy of colchicine in patients with chronic gout. In 2 randomized clinical trials, the treatment with colchicine 0.6mg twice daily was associated with a decrease in the frequency of gout flares.
  • By disease type, the chronic gout is dominating the gout therapeutics market. This segment encompasses urate-lowering agents such as xanthine oxidase inhibitor and uricosuric agents. The introduction of urate-lowering drugs and the expected entry of pipeline drugs are likely to drive the market at the fastest rate during the forecast period.

 

Geographical Analysis

The trial is evaluating the superiority of a once-monthly dose of Selecta’s lead product candidate, SEL-212 (ImmTOR + pegadricase), versus a bi-weekly dose of pegloticase, the current FDA-approved uricase therapy for adult patients with chronic refractory gout.
  • The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at the fastest growth rate over the forecast period owing to the diversified patient pool, growing investment by major players with local manufacturers and hospital chains in growing countries such as India, China, South Korea, and other South Asian countries. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, in 2015-2016, gout cost the Australian health system an estimated USD 176.5 million, representing 1.4% of disease expenditure on musculoskeletal conditions and 0.2% of total disease expenditure. Also, changing lifestyles with a rising prevalence of smoking & alcohol consumption is expected to boost the incidence of gout over the period.
