MabDesign’s market analyses give you a monthly overview of market dynamics and projects in development for a given indication or technology, to help you better understand the constantly evolving market of biologics and biomanufacturing. This month, we take a look at the neurological disorders market and the biotherapies in development targeting this therapeutic area.
Neurological disorders affect nearly a billion people worldwide, and with the ageing of the population, this figure is set to continue rising in the future. These conditions have a significant impact on patients’ quality of life, and represent major challenges in terms of treatment and management.
In the pipeline of projects under development, two types of biotherapies are most represented:gene therapies(25%) and monoclonal antibodies (19%). Gene therapy approaches offer promising possibilities for specifically targeting the molecular mechanisms underlying neurological disorders, paving the way for more effective, targeted treatments.
Among the most targeted neurological disorders are Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
