  • Region: Global
  • REACH Market Research
  • ID: 5996427
The MarketVue®: Generalized Pustular Psoriasis market landscape report combines primary (KOL interviews and survey data) and secondary market research to empower strategic decision-making and provide a complete view of the market.

Every MarketVue® includes a disease overview, epidemiology (US and EU5), current treatment, unmet needs, pipeline and access and reimbursement chapter.

Topics covered in this report:

  • Disease overview: Review the disease pathophysiology and potential druggable targets
  • Epidemiology: Understand prevalence, diagnosed and drug-treated prevalence of the population and key market segments
  • Current treatment: Understand the treatment decision tree and strengths and weaknesses of current on-label and off-label treatment
  • Unmet needs: Identify opportunities to address treatment or disease management gaps
  • Pipeline analysis: Compare current and emerging therapy clinical development strategy; their performance on efficacy, safety, and delivery metrics; and their potential to address unmet needs
  • Value and access: Review the evidence needed to assess and communicate value to key stakeholders (e.g., providers, payers, regulators) and learn what competitors have done or are doing

Methodology:

Research for the MarketVue®: Generalized Pustular Psoriasis report is supported by 4 qualitative interviews with key opinion leaders, a quantitative survey with 27 physicians and secondary research.

Geographies covered:

United States plus epidemiology for EU5 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom).

Key takeaways from the report:

Before the approval of Spevigo, the treatment landscape for GPP consisted solely of off-label therapies approved for psoriasis, including:

  • Topical therapies
  • Cyclosporine
  • Methotrexate
  • Biologics used to treat psoriasis (e.g., anti-TNF-α, IL-1, IL-17, etc.)
The approval of Spevigo for active GPP flares marks a major shift in the treatment of GPP, but unmet needs remain for long-term maintenance therapies for flare prevention. These unmet needs could be short-lived, however, as Boehringer-Ingelheim (BI) recently announced that their subcutaneous formulation of spesolimab met its primary and secondary endpoints in a Phase 2 clinical trial (Effisayil-2) exploring efficacy for GPP flare prevention. Subcutaneous spesolimab could receive approval and enter the market as soon as 2024. Nearly 80% of surveyed dermatologist indicated that they would be very likely to prescribe a subcutaneous spesolimab if it was approved as a maintenance therapy, according to this MarketVue® assessment.

Spesolimab potential approval as an acute and maintenance therapy would avoid many of the challenges associated with prescribing off-label therapies to treat GPP and could offer dermatologists the opportunity to establish a continuity of care of both flare control and subsequent long-term flare prevention utilizing the same therapy.

Dermatologist, U.S.: 'An ideal drug would be something that’s safe, gets acute flare under control quickly, and something that gives a sustained response that we can administer outpatient to hopefully keep their disease under control on a day-to-day basis, so minimal to little skin involvement and also prevention of the acute flares.'

Beyond spesolimab, there remains little in the pipeline for GPP. Like BI, AnaptysBio has an IL-36 inhibitor, imsidolimab, in clinical trials for both flare control and prevention, but will seek to outlicense the drug before approval. This development could potentially delay imsidolimab’s entry to market, but even with approvals for both spesolimab and imsidolimab, some unmet needs may be left unaddressed for those that do not respond well to IL-36 inhibitors.
