LAS VEGAS, Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight, a leader in healthcare competitive intelligence and consulting company, published a success study on Digital Opinion Leader (DOL) Analysis in the Cystic Fibrosis Market. A pharmaceutical company specializing in cystic fibrosis treatments approached DelveInsight to conduct an in-depth analysis of DOLs in the UK. The client sought to identify key digital influencers and understand their perspectives on cystic fibrosis treatments, leveraging these insights to inform drug development, marketing strategies, and patient advocacy efforts.

Cystic fibrosis is a life-limiting autosomal recessive genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system, caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. According to DelveInsight's latest Cystic Fibrosis Market and Epidem Forecast Report, the estimated total diagnosed prevalent cases of cystic fibrosis in the 7MM in 2023 were ~68K cases. The UK had the highest number of diagnosed cystic fibrosis cases, with nearly 11K, followed by France with 7.5K and Germany with 7K. In the EU4 and the UK, the cystic fibrosis market size was nearly USD 7 billion, accounting for almost 39.4% of the total 7MM market size in 2023. This is expected to increase significantly by 2034.

In the field of cystic fibrosis, DOLs play a significant role in shaping perceptions and influencing the direction of treatment, policy, and patient care. These are influential healthcare professionals or researchers who have an active online presence and contribute to discussions, research, and advocacy. For pharmaceutical companies developing cystic fibrosis treatments, understanding the DOL landscape is crucial for gaining insights into market dynamics and stakeholder perceptions and identifying strategic opportunities for drug development, marketing, and patient advocacy.

Several medications have been approved to manage cystic fibrosis, with therapies targeting the CFTR protein to correct its defects. One of the most groundbreaking treatments is TRIKAFTA, a combination of elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor, which has revolutionized cystic fibrosis treatment by improving lung function in patients with specific genetic mutations. Other notable drugs include SYMDEKO (tezacaftor/ivacaftor) and ORKAMBI (lumacaftor/ivacaftor), which also target the CFTR protein. These therapies aim to address the root cause of the disease, improving symptoms and quality of life for patients. However, despite these advancements, the current treatment landscape still faces challenges, such as variability in treatment efficacy and accessibility to newer therapies for certain patient populations.

The pipeline for cystic fibrosis treatments continues to evolve, with several promising drugs in the cystic fibrosis pipeline. Ensifentrine (Verona Pharmaceuticals) is a dual inhibitor of the enzymes responsible for inflammation and mucus production in the lungs, showing potential as an add-on therapy for patients with CF. VX-121/TEZ/VX-561 (Vertex Pharmaceuticals) is another exciting treatment, combining triple therapy to enhance CFTR function and improve lung function. LAU-7b (Laurent Pharmaceuticals Inc.) aims to restore CFTR function and reduce inflammation. Lonodelestat (Pari Pharma GmbH) is being investigated for its ability to reduce neutrophil elastase and inflammation in the lungs of CF patients. These drugs, if successful, could significantly improve treatment options and outcomes for CF patients.

Several companies are at the forefront of developing treatments for cystic fibrosis. Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. focuses on treatments that aim to restore protein function in CF patients with specific genetic mutations. Vertex Pharmaceuticals is a leader in the CF market, with therapies like TRIKAFTA and ongoing pipeline developments. Santhera Pharmaceuticals is exploring potential treatments to address pulmonary issues in CF patients.
