Introduction

In this analysis, Datamonitor estimates that there were a total of 53 million cases of insomnia in 2010 in the seven major markets with nearly a half of these cases present in the US. Prevalence rates for insomnia are expected to remain constant; therefore, any changes in prevalence will depend on population dynamics in the seven major healthcare markets

Features and benefits

* Gain insight to market potential, including a robust 10-year epidemiology forecast of prevalent insomnia cases.

* Understand the key epidemiologic risk factors associated with insomnia.

Highlights

Datamonitor expects an increase in prevalent insomnia cases in the next decade in the seven major markets as a result of an ageing population.

Unsatisfactory sleep can cause severe distress and cause social, interpersonal, and occupational impairment.

Your key questions answered

* What are the most robust epidemiologic studies for insomnia prevalence data?

* How will the patient population change over the next decade in the US, Japan, and five major EU markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK)?

* How do changes in population structure and risk factors affect the trend in prevalent insomnia cases?

Target product profile versus current level of attainment

CLINICAL TRIAL DESIGN IN DEPRESSION

Clinical trials

Commonly used clinical trial endpoints for depression

Typical trial design

Trial length is commonly standardized to a duration of just 8 weeks

Comparator trials can provide a compelling argument for using one drug ahead of another

Future developments in clinical trial design

Treatment-resistant depression clinical trial design

Adjunctive therapy clinical trial design

INNOVATIVE EARLY-STAGE APPROACHES

Glutamate receptor modulation

NMDA receptor antagonists and partial agonists

Metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonists

Targeting neuropeptides for depression

Background

Vasopressin receptor antagonists

Corticotropin-releasing factor receptor antagonists

Neurokinin receptor antagonists

THE FUTURE OF TREATMENT IN DEPRESSION

Specific targeting of treatment-resistant patients

A label for treatment-resistant depression will bypass competition with generic first-line antidepressants

Treatment-resistant depression is characterized by a large target population and substantial unmet need

Biomarkers for depression

Considerable variations in treatment outcomes exist

Biomarkers may have utility in identifying appropriate patients and improving treatment outcomes

The commercial appeal of reduced R&D spend and a competitive advantage is a bonus

Biomarkers in clinical development
