Research and Markets: OpportunityAnalyzer: Cystic Fibrosis Therapeutics - Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2017DUBLIN --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bn9g7q/opportunityanalyze) has announced the addition of the "OpportunityAnalyzer: Cystic Fibrosis Therapeutics - Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2017" report to their offering. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by the secretion of thick, sticky mucus which clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs pancreatic enzyme secretions that are essential for the body to break down and absorb nutrients. CF patients have a limited number of available treatment options and significant unmet needs still exist. Opportunities are significant for new therapies that will improve symptoms, change the course of this disease, as well as increase therapy options. The introduction of the first disease modifying therapy, Kalydeco (ivacaftor), by Vertex (News - Alert) Pharmaceuticals, paved the way for a new class of therapies known as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators. During our forecast period, new CFTR modulators will enter the CF market and rapid growth is forecast. Key Questions Answered - What are the pressing unmet needs and remaining opportunities in CF - What are the R&D strategies drugmakers are pursuing in the CF therapeutics space - Will CFTR modulators affect the management of CF - How promising are these agents; and how will they shape the CF market over the coming five years - How will key product patent expiring in 2014 impact the CF therapeutics market - What unmet needs will new pipeline agents fulfill - What is the clinical and commercial positioning of pipeline products Key Findings - Rapid growth in the CF market is expected from 2012 to 2017. - Emerging market players are employing diverse R&D strategies to gain entry in the CF market. - A curative therapy is the most pressing unmet need in CF. - Significant opportunities exist for new disease modifying drugs.
