Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH)

MarketVue®: Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH)

The MarketVue®: Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) 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
