Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Neurotrophic keratitis Overview

Neurotrophic keratitis, which is also known as Neurotrophic Keratopathy or trigeminal neuropathic keratopathy, is a rare degenerative corneal disease characterized by symptoms like lack of or decreased corneal sensation, corneal epithelial breakdown and impaired healing that results in increased susceptibility of the corneal surface to injury and compromised healing. In severe cases, this can also lead to stromal melting, corneal ulceration, and even perforation.

Neurotrophic keratitis Diagnosis

Neurotrophic Keratitis is diagnosed by careful investigation of any of the ocular and systemic conditions associated with the disease, along with quantitatively measuring the cornea’s sensitivity. Neurotrophic Keratitis has three different stages/severity levels: Stage I, II, and III. Timely diagnosis is very important for early-stage detection.

Further details related to diagnosis are provided in the report…

Neurotrophic keratitis Treatment

Treatment of Neurotrophic Keratitis is mainly targeted toward the apparent specific symptoms in the respective patients. Topical eye medications are advised to stop immediately. OXERVATE is the first medication that is approved by the US FDA for the treatment of Neurotrophic Keratitis patients. For the patients who have worsening Neurotrophic Keratitis, a surgical approach is adopted for the treatment. During the treatment process, amniotic membrane placement may be considered for patients with corneal ulcerations that are not healing over time or for patients with severely affected cornea.

For treating Neurotrophic Keratitis patients, it is important to prevent the progression of corneal damage. This can be achieved through early diagnosis, severity-based treatment, and continuous and careful monitoring of the patient’s condition. Ocular surface conditions are important to timely monitor and treat on time. Other than pharmacological treatment options, therapeutic corneal or scleral contact lenses are also used to treat Neurotrophic Keratitis.

Neurotrophic keratitis Epidemiology

As the market is derived using a patient-based model, the Neurotrophic keratitis epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by, Total Prevalent Cases of Neurotrophic Keratitis, Total Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Neurotrophic Keratitis, Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Neurotrophic Keratitis, and Severity-specific Diagnosed Prevalent cases of Neurotrophic Keratitis in the 7MM covering, the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.

In the assessment done by DelveInsight, the estimated total diagnosed prevalent cases of Neurotrophic keratitis in the 7MM were nearly 65 thousand in 2023.

The highest total diagnosed prevalent cases of Neurotrophic keratitis were accounted by the US in 2023 (33 thousand), which are expected to show a rise in the future.

Among the European countries, the United Kingdom had the highest diagnosed prevalent cases of neurotrophic keratitis with ~8 thousand cases, followed by Germany, which had diagnosed prevalent population of ~6 thousand in 2023. On the other hand, Spain had the lowest prevalent population (3 thousand cases).

Japan had nearly 5 thousand total diagnosed prevalent cases of Neurotrophic keratitis in 2023, accounting for approximately 8% in 7MM.

Based on stage-specific segmentation, the people in Stage 3 were affected the most by Neurotrophic Keratitis in the US, accounting for approximately 14 thousand cases in 2023.

The DelveInsight analysis indicates that among the EU4 and the UK, females were more affected than males, with approximately 16 thousand female cases and 11 thousand male cases in 2023.

Neurotrophic keratitis Drug Chapters

Marketed Drugs

OXERVATE (Cenegermin-bkbj/rhNGF): Dompé Farmaceutici

OXERVATE is the first FDA-approved treatment for people with neurotrophic keratitis. The main ingredient of OXERVATE is cenegermin, a recombinant form of human nerve growth factor. OXERVATE is structurally identical to NGF which is naturally produced by human eyes. This recombinant form of human nerve growth factor is produced in E. coli. Cenegermin-bkbj contains 118 amino acids and has a relative molecular mass of 13,266 Da. OXERVATE (cenegermin-bkbj) is a clear, colorless sterile solution with a pH of 7.0–7.4 and osmolarity of 280–320 mOsm/kg for topical ophthalmic use.

Emerging Drugs

RGN-259 (Timbetasin): ReGenTree/RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.

RGN-259 ophthalmic solution is formulated as thymosin beta 4 preservative-free eye drops for the treatment of both dry eye syndrome and Neurotrophic Keratitis. Tß4 is a synthetic copy of the naturally occurring 43-amino acid peptide that is found in all tissues and in all nucleated cells. In the eye, Tß4 promotes corneal epithelial cell migration, decreases both inflammation and apoptosis and accelerates both repair and regeneration.

REC 0559 (MT-8/Udonitrectag/REC 0/0559): Recordati Rare Diseases/MimeTech

REC 0559 is a low molecular weight, non-peptidic human NGF. The key component of REC 0559 is Udonitrectag, which mimics NGF to enhance their stability. Currently, this drug is undergoing global development by Recordati and has been licensed to MimeTech, an Italy-based company specializing in pharmaceutical applications for synthetic neurotrophin mimetics.

REC 0559 is formulated as eye drops designed to aid patients with neurotrophic keratitis. When administered, the medication is expected to help restore normal growth processes in the eye and mitigate damage to the cornea caused by the condition.

BRM424: BRIM Biotechnology Inc.

BRM 424 is a regenerative peptide that has neurotrophic properties, and its mechanism of action is based on its ability to stimulate limbal stem cell regeneration. Preclinical studies demonstrate that BRM424 stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of corneal limbal stem cells to effectively regenerate healthy limbus after extensive limbal layer removal and to speed up the cornea repair process. This direct activation of limbal stem cells can lead to fast and effective corneal healing.

It is currently being evaluated in Phase II clinical trials for treating Neurotrophic Keratitis.

Neurotrophic keratitis Market Outlook

Managing Neurotrophic Keratitis requires a multifaceted approach, primarily addressing the root cause and stabilizing the eye’s surface. Treatments vary by severity, from lubricants and anti-inflammatory agents to advanced interventions like eyelid closure, punctal plugs, and surgical procedures. Although effective, these can impair vision. Emerging biological treatments, including biopolymers, Coenzyme Q10, antisense oligonucleotides, and cenegermin, show promise in targeting neuropathology.

Stage I focuses on preventing epithelial deterioration using preservative-free lubricants and addressing related ocular surface disorders. Stage II aims to heal epithelial defects and prevent corneal ulcers, utilizing antibiotics and therapeutic contact lenses while cautiously using steroids. Stage III involves advanced surgical treatments for severe corneal damage and interstitial melts, employing collagenase inhibitors.

The Neurotrophic Keratitis market is poised for transformation with the anticipated introduction of therapies like RGN-259, OC-01, REC-0559, CSB-001, and BRM424. The approval of these therapies could significantly impact market dynamics, although their success rates remain uncertain.

The market size of Neurotrophic keratitis in the 7MM was ~USD 763 million in 2023, which is further anticipated to increase during the forecast period.

The United States accounted for the highest market size of Neurotrophic keratitis approximately 97% of the total market size in 7MM in 2023, in comparison to the other major markets i.e., EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), and the United Kingdom, and Japan.

Among the EU countries, France and Italy had the highest market size with nearly USD 5 million each in 2023, while Germany had the lowest market size for Neurotrophic keratitis with USD ~2 million in 2023.

The market size for Neurotrophic keratitis in Japan was estimated to be about USD 1 million in 2023.

With the expected launch of upcoming therapies, such as RGN-259, OC-01, REC-0559, CSB-001, and BRM424, among others, the total market size of Neurotrophic keratitis is expected to show change in the upcoming years.
