The majority of these therapies are administered via the oral route, with the remainder being topical, intraarticular, and transdermal formulations.
- The majority of industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for osteoarthritis are in Phase II, with only one drug in the NDA/BLA phase.
- Therapies in development for osteoarthritis focus on a wide variety of targets. The largest proportion of pipeline drugs are administered via the intraarticular route.
- High-impact upcoming events for drugs in the osteoarthritis space comprise topline Phase II trial results for AKL4; topline Phase IIb trial results for MM-II; topline Phase III trial results for CNTX-4975, TLC599, and Zilosul; an expected decentralized approval in the EU for Pennsaid 2%; and an expected CHMP opinion, PDUFA date, and FDA advisory panel meeting for tanezumab.
- The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I osteoarthritis and osteoarthritis pain asset is 9.7%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 50%. Drugs, on average, take 12.9 years from Phase I to approval in the osteoarthritis and osteoarthritis pain space, as well as in the overall rheumatology (non autoimmune) space.
- The distribution of clinical trials across Phase I–IV indicates that the majority of trials for osteoarthritis have been in the early and mid-phases of development, with 58% of trials in Phase I–II, and 42% in Phase III–IV.
- The US has a substantial lead in the number of osteoarthritis clinical trials globally. The UK leads the major European markets, while South Korea has the top spot in Asia.
- Clinical trial activity in the osteoarthritis space is dominated by completed trials. Pfizer has the highest number of completed clinical trials for osteoarthritis, with 124 trials.
- Pfizer leads industry sponsors with the highest overall number of clinical trials for osteoarthritis.
