Huntington’s Disease Treatment Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Huntington’s disease is a rare inherited disease that causes progressive breakdown  of nerve cells in the brain, mainly affecting physical movements, emotions and cognitive abilities. The symptoms of this disease can appear at any time but mostly appear at the age of 30-40 years. If the condition appears before 20 years of age, this disorder is said to be juvenile Huntington’s disease.

Global Huntington’s Disease Treatment Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising Prevalence of Huntington’s Disease

Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a progressive neurological condition caused by CAG expansions in the Huntingtin (Htt) gene. It affects 1 out of every 10,000 people in the U.S. Healthy people mostly have less than 35 CAG repetitions, whereas, HD patients have CAG expansions which ranges from 36 to 200. The incidence varies by more than 10-fold between geographical locations, that can be related to variations in case ascertainment and diagnostic criteria.  

• Increasing Demand For Disease-Modifying Therapies

The disease-modifying therapies segment is estimated to witness the huge growth during the forecast period. This is because of an increase in R&D for disease-modifying therapy along with an increase in the need for advanced products, such as gene therapy and stem cell therapy. The government initiatives such as Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA for increasing the registration process may increase the market in the upcoming years. For instance, in 2021, U.S. FDA granted fast track designation to Sage Therapeutics’s drug, SAGE-718, as a budding treatment for Huntington’s disease.

Opportunities

• Increased Clinical Research Activities

There have been increasing clinical research activities for various drug development processes that are boosting the market's growth. For instance, Annexon, Inc. is engaged in the development of ANX005-an experimental monoclonal antibody which targets abnormal C1q activity in complement-mediated neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington’s Disease. This is administered intravenously (IV) and is meant to suppress C1q and the complete classical complement system. Furthermore, in 2020, the company initiated a phase 2 clinical trial of ANX005 for the treatment of HD patients. Stem cell therapy is also generating interest as a potential treatment for HD. Presently, Cellavita, in collaboration with AzidusPharma, is investigating stem cell therapy, CELLAVITA-HD in phase 2/ 3 ADORE-DH trial.   

• Increasing Drug Approvals

There have been increasing drug approvals for the treatment of HD patients. For instance, in 2020, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. received NMPA approval for Austedo in China for treating cholera associated with Huntington’s disease. This expansion of the company is expected to increase the patient base and the revenue growth.

 Restraints/Challenges

• Limited Availability of Drugs

The number of approved drugs for Huntington’s disease are restricted due to strict policies and regulations. This is expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the lack of awareness about this disorder in major parts of the world is expected to limit the growth of Huntington’s disease treatment market.

• Discontinuation of Drug Trials

The drug development for the disease has faced major obstacles as numerous therapies have failed to demonstrate efficacy or were related with major toxicity. For instance, in 2021, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. discontinued the dosing in the phase III GENERATION HD1 study of tominersen in manifest HD. This conclusion was made on the basis of findings of an unblinded Independent Data Monitoring Committee's (iDMC) pre planned examination of data from the phase III research.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Huntington’s Disease Treatment Market

During the pandemic, the sales of off-label drugs such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsant were done through online pharmacies to manage symptoms associated with HD. The conduction of clinical trials was hindered because of the government-imposed lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the post pandemic era, most hospitals and clinics worldwide reported that clinical visits frequency for the diagnosis and treatment of HD has improved. As a result, the market will grow with the estimated growth rate. The clinical trials for Huntington’s disease treatment development have increased post-pandemic.

Recent Developments:

• In 2021, NeuExcell Therapeutics Inc partnered with Spark Therapeutics, Inc. to develop gene therapy for the treatment of HD patients. Under the agreement, NeuExcell Therapeutics is meant to receive upfront license fees, R&D, and sales milestone payments of up to approximately USD 190 million and additional product royalties
