Based on our DecisionBase 2010 report entitled Psoriasis: Dermatologists Identify Remaining Opportunities as the Number of Highly Efficacious Biologics Continues to Grow, Decision Resources is offering an exclusive webinar entitled What Key Drug Attributes Will Emerging Therapies Need to Erode the Dominance of TNF-alpha Inhibitors in Moderate to Severe Psoriasis? Because this webinar will feature major report findings, it is ONLY available to purchasers of this report.

In the moderate to severe psoriasis drug market, the launch of new therapies from existing and novel drug classes will fuel intense competition and increase dermatologists’ expectations regarding efficacy and longer-term safety. However, the safety and delivery shortcomings of current agents present opportunities for emerging therapies which offer clinical profiles that are at least similar to those of marketed biologics. The moderate to severe psoriasis market accounts for approximately 80 percent of total psoriasis sales although Decision Resources estimates that only a third of drug-treated patients fall into this category. Market dynamics in the moderate to severe psoriasis segment are expected to be especially intense over the next 10 years as the current sales leader, Amgen/Pfizer/Takeda’s Enbrel – a TNF-alpha inhibitor – will continue to lose share to its closest competitor from the same drug class, Abbott/Eisai’s Humira. Additionally, Enbrel is expected to lose share to the more-efficacious interleukin 12/23 inhibitor, Centocor Ortho Biotech/Janssen-Cilag’s Stelara as well as emerging biosimilar agents.
This webinar, presented by Decision Resources Analyst Irene Koulinska, M.D., will answer the following questions:
- What are the greatest areas of unmet need in moderate to severe psoriasis and which emerging therapies are most likely to address these unmet needs?
- What are dermatologists' perceptions of the most efficacious, safest and most conveniently delivered marketed drugs for psoriasis? Will the patient share of these therapies be threatened by any of the agents in the pipeline?
- What efficacy end points in recent clinical trials for emerging psoriasis therapies do dermatologists consider to be the most persuasive in their prescribing decisions?
- In terms of their clinical profile and price relative to Enbrel, how do the expectations of U.S. and European dermatologists differ regarding the positioning of new biologics?
- What are the attributes for which dermatologists seek improvement from new biological agents? Are dermatologists willing to make concessions in safety and tolerability for biologics that are priced lower than Enbrel?
Dr. Koulinska will conduct a live Q & A session after the presentation.
