IQ4I Research published "Non-alcoholic steatohepataitis (NASH)" Pipeline Analysis

“Non-alcoholic steatohepataitis (NASH) Pipeline Analysis” gives comprehensive insights on the various drugs being developed for the treatment of NASH. The report covers all the drugs that are in various phases of development (Discovery, Preclinical & Clinical). The pipeline focuses on novel pharmacologic drugs & regenerative medicines covering small molecules, antibodies, stem cell therapies, recombinant proteins and RNA-based therapeutics, but excludes symptom relief drugs, generic combinations and supplemental drugs. The report has 206 pipeline molecules and also covers some of the hot targets in research for NASH treatments and NASH related biomarkers.

This report enables Pharmaceutical/Biotech companies, Academic institutes, Individual researchers, Investors, Medical technology companies, Service providers and other associated stake holders to identify and analyze the available licensing/collaborative commercial opportunities in the Non-alcoholic steatohepataitis (NASH) drugs market. The report also provides strategic insights on some of the molecules that are yet to be launched in the next few years.

NASH is associated with fatty liver, hepatic inflammation, hepatocyte injury and fibrogenesis and may worsen into fibrosis or cirrhosis, liver failure and rarely into liver cancer. Currently, there are no approved drugs for NASH by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and there a high unmet clinical need. NASH, if untreated can progress to liver-destroying cirrhosis and potentially cancer. Majority of the NASH pipeline drugs are from specialized small to mid-pharmaceutical & biotech companies. As some of the candidates are nearing key R&D milestones, there is a huge competition among large pharmaceutical and biotech companies to acquire and licence these assets. Novo Nordisk and Epigen bio collaboration for the molecule EPGN696, AstraZeneca and Ionis pharma collaboration for IONIS-AZ6-2.5-LRx. Promethera’s acquisition of Baliopharm for NASH antibody program, Gilead’s acquisition of Phenex FXR program & Boehringer’s acquisition of NASH clinical asset from Pharmaxis supports this trend. Diagnosis of NASH still requires histological confirmation and there is a great demand for specific non-invasive diagnosis for distinguishing NASH from other liver diseases. Therefore, there is a need to develop better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for patients with NASH. Some of the key sections covered in the report are given below:
