THYROID DISORDER THERAPY MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Thyroid Disorder Therapy Market- Drivers

Thyroid cancer is one of the major problem which is increasing the demand for therapy. To meet the demand, many drugs are in a pipeline while few drugs received approvals. In May 2018, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a combination of two targeted drugs, dabrafenib plus trametinib, to treat patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer. The combination of Tafinlar (dabrafenib) and Mekinist (trametinib) is the first FDA approved treatment for these type of thyroid cancers. Moreover, in 2015, FDA approved Lenvatinib for the treatment of locally recurrent or metastatic, progressive, radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer. In the same year, Japan received the approval for manufacturing and marketing authorization in Japan for its Lenvima, an anticancer drug for the treatment of thyroid cancer.
