Beta Thalassemia Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Beta Thalassemia Overview
Beta thalassemia (β-Thalassemia) is a blood disorder characterized by reduced synthesis of the hemoglobin subunit beta (hemoglobin beta chain) that results in microcytic hypochromic anemia, an abnormal peripheral blood smear with nucleated red blood cells, and reduced amounts of hemoglobin A (HbA) on hemoglobin analysis.
Beta Thalassemia is an inherited disorder caused due to genetic modification (deletion/alteration) on Chromosome 11. The major risk factors include “Family history of the disorder” and /or “Asian, Chinese, Mediterranean, or African American ethnicity.”

Beta Thalassemia Diagnosis and Treatment
This section covers the details of diagnostic methods and conventional and current medical therapies available in the Beta Thalassemia market to treat the condition. It also provides the country-wise treatment guidelines and algorithms across the United States and Europe.
The DelveInsight Beta Thalassemia market report gives a holistic understanding of Beta Thalassemia clinical manifestations by including disease definition, symptoms, causes, risk factors, physiology, and diagnosis. It also provides Beta Thalassemia treatment algorithms and treatment guidelines for Beta Thalassemia in the US and Europe.

Patients with severe beta thalassemia (major) require lifelong therapy to prevent and manage the clinical consequences of the disease. Long-term adherence to treatment is essential to maintain blood composition level. Comprehensive management guidelines for both TDT (transfusion dependent) and NTDT (Non transfusion dependent) have been developed by the Thalassemia International Federation and are widely available. Current management strategies for TDT include blood transfusion, iron chelation, splenectomy (less common than in the past), and HSCT for a subset of patients.

The Beta Thalassemia symptoms epidemiology division provides insights into the historical and current patient pool and the forecasted trend for every six major countries. It helps recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the DelveInsight report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends and assumptions.

Beta Thalassemia Emerging Drugs

Zynteglo (LentiGlobin BB305): Bluebird Bio
LentiGlobin BB305, also known as Zynteglo, is a one-time gene therapy that expands options for patients with transfusion-dependent Beta Thalassemia (TDT) ≥12 years of age who do not have a Beta0/Beta0 genotype and who do not have an HLA-matched related donor. It is used in patients who do not completely lack beta-globin and are eligible for stem cell transplantation but do not have a matching related donor. Its active substance is stem cells taken from patients that have been genetically modified to contain a working gene for beta-globin. Bluebird Bio is manufacturing it. It is a genetically modified autologous CD34+ cell-enriched population that contains cells transduced with LentiGlobin BB305 lentiviral vector encoding human BetaA-T87Q-globin.
Bluebird Bio despite its successful conditional marketing authorization for Beta Thalassemia from European commission in 2019, it has announced to exit German markets, due to reimbursement challenges and is expected to hit the US markets in 2022. This drug is currently in Phase III trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of gene therapy in subjects with transfusion-dependent beta Thalassemia by transplantation of autologous cd34+ stem cells transduced ex vivo with a lentiviral Betaa-t87q-globin vector in subjects’ ≤50 years of age.

Mitapivat (AG-348): Agios Pharmaceuticals
Mitapivat (AG-348) is an oral, small-molecule, allosteric activator of the RBC-specific form of pyruvate kinase (PK-R). PK-R is a key enzyme for maintaining energy homeostasis in RBCs, as they rely almost exclusively on the process of glycolysis to generate ATP. In healthy adults, mitapivat activates wild-type PK-R and increases ATP levels in RBCs. In preclinical studies, AG-348 reduced ineffective erythropoiesis, extramedullary erythropoiesis, increased Hb levels, reduced reticulocyte count, and circulating erythroblasts, and significantly increased RBC survival. These data support the hypothesis that increased ATP synthesis mediated via PK-R activation by mitapivat may improve the survival of thalassemic RBCs in the bone marrow and/or peripheral circulation.

Beta Thalassemia Market Outlook
The report’s Beta Thalassemia market outlook helps to understand the historic, current better, and forecasted Beta Thalassemia market trends by analyzing the impact of current therapies on the market, unmet needs, SWOT analysis and demand for better technology.

This segment gives a holistic analysis of Beta Thalassemia market trend of each marketed drug and late-stage pipeline therapy by evaluating their impact based on the annual cost of therapy, inclusion and exclusion criteria’s, mechanism of action, compliance rate, growing need of the market, increasing patient pool, covered patient segment, expected launch year, competition with other therapies, brand value, their impact on the market and view of the key opinion leaders. The calculated market data are presented with relevant tables and graphs to view the market at first sight.

According to DelveInsight, the Beta Thalassemia market in 6MM is expected to grow steadily during the study period 2019–2032.

Blood transfusion and iron chelation are the standard of care for patients with TDT, with the former suppressing ineffective hematopoiesis and their complications and the latter treating and preventing complications from iron overload. The goal of treatment is to maintain a hemoglobin level of 9–10.5 g/dL, which has been shown to promote normal growth, suppress bone marrow activity, and minimize iron accumulation.
Various new therapies are in development, focusing on alleviating the limitations of the currently approved drugs. Some of the most prominent ones include Zynteglo (LentiGlobin BB305; Bluebird Bio), Mitapivat (AG-348; Agios Pharmaceuticals), VIT 2763 (Vifor Pharma), IMR-687 (Imara Inc.), among others. The market is poised to take off with novel candidates like CTX001 (CRISPR/Vertex Pharma) and regulators facilitating drug development with various designations including Breakthrough therapy, PRIME designation, Rare Pediatric indication, etc.,

In addition, market analysis shows immense Go-To-Market challenges such as manufacturing and commercialization strategies, pricing decisions, reimbursement negotiations, making the Beta Thalassemia market, one of the trickiest to navigate through.
ZYNTEGLO was granted conditional marketing authorization by European Commission for the treatment of TDT patients above 12 yrs. of age, in 2019. By 2021, though the company managed the commercial launch of Zynteglo in Germany, it failed to navigate the reimbursement challenges successfully. The company has announced to pull-out of Germany and scale-down operations in EU and focus its resource in the US. Thus it is imperative for upcoming therapies like CTX001 and others to be cautious with pricing decisions and market access strategies for a successful launch, across geographies.
