PROTEINURIA THERAPEUTICS MARKET ANALYSIS

Regional Analysis

Global Proteinuria Therapeutics Market – Regional Insights

Among regions, North America is expected to account for the largest share in global proteinuria therapeutics market over the forecast period, owing to the submission of new drug applications for the treatment of proteinuria associated diseases such as nephropathy. For instance, on March 15, 2021, Calliditas Therapeutics AB officially confirmed the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Nefecon, a novel oral formulation targeting IgA1 down regulation for the treatment of primary IgA Nephropathy (IgAN). Nefecon in the part A of phase III study met its primary endpoint of lowering proteinuria compared to placebo, as well as stabilizing estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at nine months. Calliditas Therapeutics is a specialty pharmaceutical company, which focuses on developing novel treatments for orphan indications, with an initial focus on renal and hepatic diseases.

Moreover, due to recent drug approvals by regulatory authorities for the treatment of proteinuria associated diseases such as lupus nephritis, Europe may witness a lucrative growth in global proteinuria therapeutics market over the forecast period. For instance, on May 05, 2021, GlaxoSmithKline plc. (GSK), a science-led global healthcare company announced that the European Commission approved the expanded use of intravenous BENLYSTA (belimumab) in combination with background immunosuppressive therapies for the treatment of adult patients with active lupus nephritis (LN) in Europe. Proteinuria is one of the manifestations of lupus nephritis. BENLYSTA, a BLyS-specific inhibitor, is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to soluble BLyS. These factors are expected to support global proteinuria therapeutics market growth over the forecast period.
