Calciphylaxis or calcific uremic arteriolopathy is a syndrome of vascular calcification, thrombosis, and skin necrosis. It mostly occurs in patients with end-stage kidney disease or kidney transplant. Calciphylaxis results in chronic non-healing wounds and is usually fatal. It has a high mortality rate, owing to cardiovascular disease and sepsis caused due to infected skin ulcers. The exact pathogenetic mechanisms of the disease is not known. Most patients with the condition have abnormalities in blood-clotting factors. Multiple interventions are used to treat calciphylaxis, including restoring oxygen and blood flow to the skin, decreasing calcium deposits, and intensive wound treatment.
Market Dynamics
High prevalence of kidney diseases and increasing number of clinical trials in the field of calciphylaxis treatment are major factors expected to drive growth of the calciphylaxis treatment market. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Health Information Center, in 2016, the overall prevalence of chronic kidney diseases in the U.S. was around 14% of total population.
Calciphylaxis has no approved treatment, which has led to increasing number of clinical trials and research, which is expected to fuel growth of the market. For instance, in March 2015, the Multidisciplinary Calciphylaxis Program launched the first randomized trial for treatment of calciphylaxis with research focus on the role of vitamin K in the treatment of the disease.
Lack of an appropriate treatment for calciphylaxis is a major obstacle in the calciphylaxis treatment market growth. However, key players in the market are focused on identifying the root cause of the disease and its associated treatment in order to gain market share. For instance, according to a study published by the American Journal of Nephrology, in June 2018, apixaban, an anticoagulant used to treat venous thromboembolic events, can be a safe and effective alternative to warfarin in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on dialysis suffering from calciphylaxis.
