MarketVue®: Myasthenia Gravis

The MarketVue®: Myasthenia Gravis market landscape report combines primary (KOL interviews and survey data) and secondary market research to empower strategic decision-making and provide a complete view of the market.
Every MarketVue® includes a disease overview, epidemiology (US and EU5), current treatment, unmet needs, pipeline and access and reimbursement chapter.

Topics covered in this report:
• Disease overview: Review the disease pathophysiology and potential druggable targets
• Epidemiology: Understand prevalence, diagnosed and drug-treated prevalence of the population and key market segments
• Current treatment: Understand the treatment decision tree and strengths and weaknesses of current on-label and off-label treatment
• Unmet needs: Identify opportunities to address treatment or disease management gaps
• Pipeline analysis: Compare current and emerging therapy clinical development strategy; their performance on efficacy, safety, and delivery metrics; and their potential to address unmet needs
• Value and access: Review the evidence needed to assess and communicate value to key stakeholders (e.g., providers, payers, regulators) and learn what competitors have done or are doing

Methodology:
Research for the MarketVue®: Myasthenia Gravis report is supported by 5 qualitative interviews with key opinion leaders, a quantitative survey with 26 U.S. physicians and secondary research.

1. DISEASE OVERVIEW
A rare, chronic, autoimmune disease marked by muscle weakness and fatigue
Figure 1.1. Select clinical manifestations of MG
FcRn inhibition, B-cell directed therapies, and the complement pathway are common drug targets

Table 2.1 Diagnosed prevalent and drug-treated patients in the US and EU5
3. DIAGNOSIS & CURRENT TREATMENT
Overview
Figure 3.1. Diagnostic pathway for MG patients
Diagnostic testing for auto-antibodies is standard and disease severity criteria for MG are clearly defined
Table 3.1. MGFA Clinical Classification
Figure 3.2. Neurologist-reported percentage of MG patients misdiagnosed/not diagnosed in a timely manner
Figure 3.3. Neurologist-reported percentage of their patients in each clinical category
Improvement of symptoms and restoring patient’s baseline function and quality of life are the ultimate goals

Figure 3.4. Neurologist-reported proportion of MG patients currently treated with drug therapy
Treatment flow for MG
There is no standard approach to treatment; biologics are emerging as key players in recent years

4. UNMET NEED
Overview

Figure 4.2. Neurologist-reported unmet needs in MG
High unmet needs persist despite three approved biologics for MG
5. PIPELINE ANALYSIS
Overview
