Tuberculosis - Drug Pipeline Landscape, 2023

Tuberculosis - Drug Pipeline Landscape, 2023

Tuberculosis is a severe infectious disease that affects the lungs and other parts of the body including the abdomen, glands, bones and the nervous system. There are three types of tuberculosis: active tuberculosis in which bacteria are rapidly multiplied and invade different organs of the body, miliary tuberculosis is a rare form of active disease that occurs when tuberculosis bacteria enter into the bloodstream, and latent tuberculosis in this person doesn't exhibit symptoms.

TB is caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. It spreads from one person to other through air when people with active TB have cough, spit, speak or sneeze. Active TB is more predominant among people with HIV/AIDS and smokers.

The general symptoms of tuberculosis disease include sickness, weight loss, fever, night sweats, and cough for three or more weeks. In severe condition, cough with blood or mucus are exhibited.

Initial diagnosis of TB is based on the signs of the lung disease or symptoms lasting longer than two weeks. Identifying M. tuberculosis in clinical samples including sputum, pus and tissue biopsy is a part of definitive diagnosis. Chest X-ray and CT scans are imaging evaluations. The Mantoux tuberculin skin test is often used to screen people at high risk.

Treatment involves the use of antibiotics, which is best treated with combinations to reduce the risk of the bacteria development against antibiotic resistance. The recommended treatment for new-onset of pulmonary TB is for six months of combination antibiotics, and multiple drug resistant TV (MDR-TB) is treated with at least four effective antibiotics for 18 to 24 months. Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine is given to children for the prevention of TB.

Major pharmaceutical companies are involved in the development of potential drug candidates to improve Tuberculosis treatment such as GC3107A, MTBVAC, OPC-67683 and others. Key players involved in the development of therapies to treat tuberculosis are GC Biopharma Corp, GSK plc, Astellas Pharma Inc, MannKind Corp, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co Ltd and others. Seven drugs are under late-stage Phase III clinical trials and fifteen drugs are in Phase II clinical trials and some other drugs are under Phase I, preclinical and discovery stages of development. In November 2022, GSK announces positive Phase IIa study results for a new first-in-class candidate medicine for patients with tuberculosis.

Report Highlights

Global Insight Service's, Tuberculosis - Drug Pipeline Landscape, 2023 report provides an overview of the Tuberculosis pipeline drugs. This report covers detailed insights on Tuberculosis drugs under development, assessment by target, mechanism of action, route of administration and molecule type. Product pipeline by companies, stage of development and key regulatory designations, deals and milestones have been presented to provide insights and thus help industry participants in their decision making. Tuberculosis pipeline report helps gain insights on drugs which are under development stage of drug development process across globally.

Methodology

The research process includes extensive secondary research on public domain and other authentic sources to add or update the pipeline products information. The secondary research sources include, but are not limited to company websites, annual reports, financial reports, company pipeline chart, investor presentations and SEC filings, journals and conferences, and clinical trials registries.

Scope

The pipeline landscape report provides analysis of pipeline products based on several stages of development ranging from Discovery to Pre-Registration. The report provides a review of pipeline therapeutics by companies based on information derived from company and industry-specific sources. The pipeline report covers assessment of therapeutics by mechanism of action (MoA), drug target, route of administration (RoA) and molecule type. Comprehensive profiles of the pipeline products with details such as company overview, development stage; molecule type, target, mechanism of action, route of administration, dosage form, regulatory designations, key deals, clinical trials, and key upcoming milestones are included.
