Introduction

Stimulated by evidence of disease slowing with Teva/Lundbeck´s Azilect (rasagiline), and successful reformulation of leading dopamine agonists, the Parkinson´s disease market value is set to grow by an compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10% over the next 5 years (20072013), peaking at $3.1 billion in 2013.

Highlights

Datamonitor has upgraded its forecasts of Teva/Lundbeck´s Azilect (rasagiline) following clinical evidence of disease slowing. Over the next 5 years Azilect is expected to become a standard first-line therapy, with sales peaking in 2013, making it the market leading Parkinson´s disease drug at this time.

GlaxoSmithKline´s Requip XL (ropinirole extended-release) is set to become the market leading dopamine agonist in 2009. The convenience of once-daily dosing, supported by the theoretical clinical advantage of smoother dopamine receptor agonism, will drive switching from the parent compound and Boehringer Ingelheim´s Mirapex (pramipexole).

Datamonitor has downgraded its sales forecasts of UCB´s Neupro (rotigotine patch) as problems with crystallization of the active ingredient have led to supply issues at a critical phase in its lifecycle. Prescribers are now likely to switch to Requip XL, which arrived on the market at just the right time to take advantage of UCB´s misfortune.
