Technavio healthcare and life sciences analysts highlight the following four factors that are contributing to the growth of the global Pompe disease treatment market:
- Special regulatory drug designations for orphan drugs
- Reimbursement policies for treatment
- Designated under ICD-10 code
- Shorter development timelines
Special regulatory drug designations for orphan drugs
Pompe disease is listed as a rare disease by regulatory authorities of the US and Europe. Diseases with a limited patient population mean a smaller market for treatment, which might not be profitable in terms of recovering the R&D expenses of the drug. To overcome this limitation, the US and the EU have provisions for orphan drug designation for drugs developed to treat Pompe disease.
Sapna Jha, a lead central nervous system research analyst at Technavio, says, “In the EU, orphan drugs receive protocol assistance and 10-year market exclusivity. In the US, they are offered incentives such as tax credits for clinical testing, exemption from prescription fees, and market exclusivity for seven years.”
Reimbursement policies for treatment
The costs associated with the treatment of Pompe disease are very high, USD 100,000-300,000 per individual per annum, making it difficult for individuals to continue with the treatment for a long period. According to Genzyme report 2015, an estimated the treatment cost of an adult and a child with Myozyme to be USD 300,000 per annum and about USD 100,000 per year, respectively.
“Organizations such as the Canadian Association of Pompe, Acid Maltase Deficiency Association, and International Pompe Association provide financial support to individuals to continue the therapy. The existence of such programs is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period,” adds Sapna.
Designated under ICD-10 code
International classification of disease (ICD) is a standard tool used globally for analytical and diagnostic purposes. Under this, the codes are provided to the individuals to emphasize the need to visit medical centers and by healthcare partners to understand the frequency of medical visits recommended for the individuals. Thus, ICD codes can be used for reimbursement purposes by private and government insurers.
Shorter development timelines
The shorter development timelines are anticipated to have a positive impact on the market for orphan drugs during the forecast period. The clinical trials of orphan drugs are significantly shorter than those of non-orphan drugs owing to the special status. The average time required to launch an orphan drug from Phase II is 3.9 years, compared with 5.42 years for the non-orphan drugs.
