Pipeline Products to Offer an opportunity for the Global Osteoarthritis Therapeutics Market

The global osteoarthritis therapeutics market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. Pipeline products are expected to offer an opportunity for the growth of the market. For instance, in April 2019, Pfizer Inc. and Eli Lilly and Co. declared a Phase III study outcomes assessing tanezumab 2.5 mg and 5 mg. This study was intended to compare the 16-week efficacy of tanezumab and long-term joint safety relative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) among patients with moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. 5 mg treatment arm of the tanezumab met two from the three co-primary endpoints related to efficacy, showing a statistically potential improvement in physical function and pain than NSAIDs at the 16-week analysis.

However, patients who received 2.5 mg tanezumab did not experience a statistically potential improvement in physical function, pain, or overall assessment of patients for their osteoarthritis at 16 weeks than NSAIDs. Under the analysis for safety, there was a potential rate of events regarding joint safety in the tanezumab arms than NSAIDs at 80 weeks. As a monoclonal antibody, Tanezumab is part of an investigational drug class of non-opioid chronic pain medications referred to as nerve growth factor (NGF) inhibitors. These kinds of pipeline products with increased safety and efficacy are expected to offer an opportunity for the launch of new therapies in the future, which in turn, will likely drive the market growth.
