OpportunityAnalyzer: Opioid-Induced Constipation - Opportunity Analysis And Forecasts To 2019: MarketResearchReports.Biz

MarketResearchReports.Biz has announced addition of new report "OpportunityAnalyzer: Opioid-Induced Constipation - Opportunity Analysis And Forecasts To 2019" to its database.

The Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC) is a new and rapidly establishing market currently dominated by OTC laxatives set to undergo substantial growth between 2014 and 2019. The main drivers of growth will be an increase in the diagnosed OIC population. This is fuelled by a relaxation of regulations regarding opioid treatment, particularly in the chronic non-cancer pain population. As a result opioid use has risen sharply in the last 15 years. Concurrently, there has been a rapid increase in patients experiencing OIC, with approximately 40-50% of chronic opioid users reporting symptoms. Traditionally, constipation has been treated with laxatives based on empirical research. However, the efficacy of laxatives to treat OIC is relatively poor and only provides adequate relief for approximately 50% of patients. Prior to 2008, the OIC market was desolate, with no approved pharmaceutical (non-laxative) treatment for this condition. The products that have been approved in the past have come with heavy restrictions limiting their use for the majority of OIC sufferers. However, the OIC therapeutic market is set to enter an explosive period of growth over the five-year forecast period. This advance is catalyzed by a major shift in the OIC treatment algorithm with the entry of several highlytargeted, efficacious, orally-formulated drugs. The competitive landscape will continue to evolve over the forecast period.

Key Findings

The main driver of the enormous expansion of the OIC market will be the dramatic increase in the number of reported OIC cases, which is attributable to the relaxation of opioid prescribing regulations.

The second largest driver will be the launch of several highly anticipated, targeted, efficacious treatment options, with a congested and competitive late stage clinical pipeline.

To gain approval it is essential for companies to demonstrate high efficacy while proving no reduction of analgesia or Major Cardiovascular Adverse Effects (MACE), by selecting appropriate clinical trial endpoints.

In the future, companies will have to increase physician and patient awareness of non-laxative prescription options to treat constipation through extensive marketing campaigns in order to successfully compete for patient share.

The number of pipeline agents being developed by small mid-pharma represents an opportunity for large pharma to enter this highly lucrative market through licensing and marketing partnerships.
