RA Market Outlook

RA is an autoimmune disease for which several effective treatment options are present. Currently, there are three primary treatment options for severe and advancing RA which include DMARDs, NSAIDs, and corticosteroids. Early treatment of RA patients with DMARDs significantly decreases these complications. Methotrexate is an excellent, economical first-line DMARD used to treat a majority of RA patients. While most patients respond well to MTX, many continue to have active disease.

DMARDs are immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory agents and are classified as either conventional DMARDs or biologic DMARDs. Biologic DMARDs are rapidly effective in retarding the progression of the joint damage caused by RA. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a messenger protein that promotes inflammation in joints. Biologic medications such as Enbrel (etanercept), Remicade (infliximab), Humira (adalimumab), Simponi (golimumab), and Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) are all TNF inhibitors that prevent the recruitment of the cells that cause inflammation, bringing rapid symptom relief. It is worth noting that, prior to 2009, Enbrel, Remicade, and Humira were only three TNF inhibitors dominating the market of RA in the United States. Apart from this, T-cell costimulatory blocking agents (Orencia), B-cell depleting agents (Rituxan), interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibitors (Actemra), and interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonists (Kineret), have also been approved over the past few years for the management of RA.

Companies like GlaxoSmithKline [Otilimab (MOR103/GSK3196165)], Taisho Pharmaceutical [Ozoralizumab (TS-152)], Gilead and Galapagos NV [Filgotinib (GS-6034; Jyseleca)], and R-Pharm (Olokizumab) with their key candidates are in registrational or late clinical-stage. In addition to this, companies like Merck KGaA (Evobrutinib), Pfizer (PF-06650833, and PF-06651600), Roche (Fenebrutinib), and several others in phase II clinical development stage with their investigational candidates.

In conclusion, it can be summarized that as many potential therapies are being investigated for the management of RA, it is safe to predict that the treatment space will experience a significant impact during the forecast period of 2020-2030.

Key Findings

The RA market size in the 7MM is expected to change during the study period 2017-2030. The therapeutic market of RA in the seven major markets was USD 21,184.4 million in 2017 which is expected to increase during study period (2017-2030). According to the estimates, the highest market size of RA is found in the United States followed by Japan and Germany.

The United States Market Outlook

In 2017, the total market size of RA therapies was USD 13,152 million in the United States which is expected to increase in the study period (2017-2030).

EU-5 Countries: Market Outlook

In 2017, the total market size of RA therapies was USD 5,038.2 million in the EU-5 countries which is expected to increase in the study period (2017-2030).

Japan Market Outlook

The total market size of RA therapies in Japan was USD 2,994.6 million in 2017 which is expected to increase in the study period (2017-2030).

Drugs Uptake

Among the recently launched and upcoming therapies, upadacitinib and filgotinib has the potential to impact the market owing to more selective oral JAK1 inhibitor and better clinical profile compared to already approve JAKi. Although upadacitinib will have slight edge over filgotinib owing to order of entry and slightly better efficacy data.

Access and Reimbursement Scenario

European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) updated recommendations for the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with synthetic and biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).

Leflunomide or sulfasalazine was considered as part of first-line treatment if patients experience early intolerance. Other conventional synthetic DMARDs in the absence of poor prognostic factors was recommended if the treatment target was not achieved after the first-line conventional synthetic DMARD strategy.

A biologic DMARD or a targeted synthetic DMARD was recommended if poor prognostic factors were present, and the treatment target was not achieved with the first conventional synthetic DMARD strategy. The targeted synthetic DMARDs include tofacitinib and baricitinib, synthetic DMARDs specifically designed to target Janus kinases.

EULAR recommended that biologic DMARDs and targeted synthetic DMARDs be combined with a conventional synthetic DMARD as all biologic and targeted synthetic DMARDs are more efficacious in combination therapy compared with monotherapy.

According to EULAR, if a biologic DMARD or targeted synthetic DMARD therapy fails, treatment with another biologic DMARD or targeted synthetic DMARD should be considered. Similarly, if treatment with tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) fails, patients may be effectively treated with a different mode of action or a second TNFi therapy.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has recommended Rinvoq, added to standard-of-care methotrexate, for coverage on the National Health Service as a treatment for severe rheumatoid arthritis in January 2020.

In the UK, Sarilumab with methotrexate, was recommended by NICE in 2017 as an option for treating active rheumatoid arthritis in adults whose disease has responded inadequately to intensive therapy with a combination of conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), only if:

  • The disease is severe (a disease activity score [DAS28] of more than 5.1) and
  • The company provides sarilumab with the discount agreed in the patient access scheme.
  • In 2018, an added benefit for Tofacitinib in combination with methotrexate after pretreatment with a conventional synthetic DMARD or with a biological DMARD was not proven for the treatment of adults who have had an inadequate response or who have been intolerant to a prior DMARD therapy by IQWIG, Germany.
  • In 2019, IQWIG reported hint of minor added benefit after pretreatment with a conventional synthetic DMARD for Tofacitinib in combination with methotrexate in adults who have had an inadequate response or who were intolerant to a prior DMARD therapy.
  • In 2017, IQWIG reported hint of an added benefit for Sarilumab in patients for whom treatment with biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARD) is indicated for the first time and who do not tolerate MTX. Added benefits were not proven for other patient groups.
