PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nobilis Therapeutics, a late stage biotechnology company that is developing a drug-device combination for treatment of psychiatric disorders will present at the virtual CapCon 2020 Venture Conference, Nov 16-17.
The most rapidly growing psychiatric diagnosis in the United States, PTSD, is a devastating psychiatric condition associated with tremendous emotional and financial costs to the health care system. According to National Center for PTSD, 7-8% of the US population will have PTSD at some point in their lives, with significantly higher proportions in war veterans (approximately 15-20%). About 8 million adults have PTSD during a given year. Around 10% of women vs. 4% of men develop PTSD sometime in their lives.
According to JAMA, 55% of COVID-19 survivors develop at least one psychiatric disorder (28% - PTSD, 31% - depression, 42% - anxiety, 20% - OCD, 40% - insomnia). According to conservative assumptions, the $8B market for PTSD and the $16B market for anxiety and PD will grow with a predicted CAGR of 6% and 7%, respectively. With the lack of effective pharmacologic treatments for PTSD and very few alternative pipeline candidates, Nobilis Therapeutics has a tremendous opportunity for rapid adoption and advancement of its therapeutic approach.
“With 2 cleared INDs for late stage trials in PTSD and Panic Disorder, Nobilis Therapeutics now has a unique opportunity to address the most severe manifestations of the emerging worldwide COVID-related mental health crisis,” says Dr. Vlad Bogin, CEO and founder of Nobilis Therapeutics.
