Alpha-1 antitrypsin is a member of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) proteins with a broad spectrum of biological functions such as inhibition of proteases, the transport of hormones, and immune modulatory functions. Serpins are mainly expressed extracellularly, with some of them being expressed intracellularly (e.g., ov-serpins or clade B serpins). There is a wide variation in the tissue expression of serpins, which is controlled by the complex interaction of promoter and regulatory elements in the DNA sequence with transcription factors. Disorders of this protein include alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, in which a deficiency of alpha-1 antitrypsin leads to a chronic uninhibited tissue breakdown. This causes the degradation especially of lung tissue and eventually leads to characteristic manifestations of pulmonary emphysema.
Market Overview
The products in this market include those used for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency commonly known as emphysema. It is predicted that many new biotechnology companies will move into the alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency treatment market, and are going to work towards developing personalized medicines for genetically inherited disorders. They are also likely to invest extensively in R&D for coming up with novel treatment processes and for the development of stem cell based therapeutics. One of the major challenges affecting this market is the high cost of drugs. The high cost of alpha-1 antitrypsin therapies is responsible for impeding market growth. The manufacture of plasma proteins is expensive and account almost four times the cost of manufacturing pharmaceutical drugs.
A key factor that is driving the market growth is to improve the diagnosis of Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). Detection is a crucial step in treating any disease or deficiency. Anyway, AATD stood difficult to diagnose in almost most of the cases. Based on the Alpha-1 foundation, about 3% of all the patients detected with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may be having undetected AATD. To overcome this, in the last few years several awareness programs were conducted to recognize and differentiate AATD from other diseases around the world. The rising patient assistance programs are one of the key emerging trends in the global Alpha-1 antitrypsin market that are sponsored by doctors, patient, drug companies, and civic groups. These programs help uninsured patients from low-income groups to get free or brand name medications at low prices.
Key Developments
- Alpha-1 foundation oxygen travel fund is one of the programs that supply oxygen and equipment for individuals lacking the financial resources to visit their physicians, hospitals, and Alpha-1 educational events. AlphaKit QuickScreen has been developed by Grifols, a diagnostic kit that aids in quick identification of the mutated Z gene.
- On February 28th, 2019, the Alpha-1 Foundation proudly wore its stripes to support the National Institutes of Health (NIH) sponsored Rare Disease Day (RDD) along with patient organizations, politicians, caregivers, medical professionals, researchers and industry – together to raise awareness of rare diseases, including Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (Alpha-1).
Segmentation
The global Alpha-1 antitrypsin drugs market is segmented as follows
By Route of Administration: Parenteral and inhalation
By Treatment Type: Augmentation Therapy, Bronchodilators, Corticosteroids, and Oxygen Therapy.
By Applications: Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, and Pharmacies.
By Regions: North America (USA, Canada and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, UK, Russia and Italy), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, Korea, India and Southeast Asia), South America (Brazil, Argentina, Columbia etc.), Middle East and Africa (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa).
Based on the treatment type, the augmentation therapy segment has been leading one, with the bronchodilator treatment segment standing in the second place. Based on the end user, the hospital segment stood as the leading one, and the parenteral segment has appeared as the most popular route of administration. Based on geography, North America has been leading in the treatment market, because of the rise in diagnosis rate, an increase in the prevalence of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and high healthcare expenditure.
Some of the leading companies in the market include Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Baxter, Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, Pfizer Inc., Kamada Ltd., AstraZeneca, Grifols S.A., LFB Biomedicaments S.A., Plc., and CSL Behring LLC.
