Market Summary and Insights

According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), diseases that affect the central nervous system (CNS), such as Alzheimer's disease, brain cancer, multiple sclerosis. Parkinson's disease and stroke, are characterized by a significant unmet need for effective treatment options. In 2019, it was reported that nearly 1.5 billion people suffer from some form of disorder affecting the CNS across the globe. In fact, the incidence of CNS disorders is anticipated to increase by 12% by 2030. In 2019, nearly 5.8 million Americans were reported to have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

Similarly, Parkinson's disease was estimated to affect nearly one million people in America, with approximately 60,000 new patients being diagnosed every year. Further, experts believe that there is a critical relationship between recent pandemic of novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. People suffering from certain CNS complications are at a relatively higher risk of COVID-19 infection due to a compromised immune system.

It is estimated that CNS disorders are responsible for a healthcare burden of nearly USD 2 trillion, in the US and Europe. Developing viable therapies against the aforementioned clinical conditions is largely complicated due to the elusive blood-brain barrier (BBB), a selectively permeable structure, which is very effective in preventing the entry of foreign substances, including drugs, into the brain. It has been reported that over 1,000 currently available / under development drugs targeting CNS disorders do not have the potential to target specific brain receptors responsible for the disease progression due to the hindrance by the BBB. Considering the serious physical, cognitive and psychosocial consequences that such indications have on patients, coupled to the alarming increase in their global prevalence, there is an urgent need for novel and effective treatment options that can cross the BBB.

Over time, extensive R&D efforts have resulted in the development of a number of versatile BBB penetration technologies. These technologies have been designed either to externally alter the permeability of the BBB or augment the BBB penetrating capabilities of compatible pharmacological interventions. As a result, presently, there is a lot of enthusiasm within the medical science community related to these technologies.

The growing interest in this field is also evident in the fact that over 1,200 modern scientific articles have been published (as observed on NCBI's PubMed portal) over the last three years alone. However, it is worth mentioning that there are currently no approved BBB penetrating drugs available in the market. Currently, this niche market is driven by technology licensing activity, with drug developers collaborating with platform providers to grow their respective therapeutic pipelines. In fact, over the last 4-5 years, there has been a marked rise in the number of new entrants in this field. We anticipate this upcoming market to witness substantial growth in the coming years.

In addition to other elements, the study includes:

• An overview of the overall landscape of BBB penetration technologies, featuring an in-depth analysis of the technologies based on a number of parameters, such as status of development (developed and under development), affiliated approach, type of compatible pharmacological molecule(s) crossing the BBB (small molecule and biologic), target receptor(s), target disease indication(s), patent availability, and licensing activity. In addition, it presents a detailed assessment of BBB technology developers and analyses based on parameters, such as year of establishment, company size, and location of headquarters.
• A detailed assessment of the current market landscape of BBB penetrant drugs (based on the abovementioned technologies), providing information on drug developer(s) (such as year of establishment, company size, and location of headquarters), phase of development (clinical, preclinical, and discovery stage), type of molecule (small molecule and biologic), affiliated BBB penetration technology, route of administration (oral, intravenous, transmucosal and others), target disease indication(s), key therapeutic area(s), and information on special drug designation (if any).
• Identification of contemporary market trends, depicted using three schematic representations, which include [A] a tree map representation of the various industry players involved in the development of BBB penetrant drugs, distributed on the basis of the target disease indication(s) of pipeline candidates and size of the companies (small, mid-sized and large companies), [B] a bubble analysis comparing the leading players engaged in the development of BBB penetrant drugs, on the basis of parameters such as pipeline strength (based on the number of drug candidates developed by a particular company, across different phases of development), number of target disease indication(s) and the size of the developer company, and [C] an informative heptagon representation, highlighting the distribution of BBB penetrant drugs across popular target disease indication(s) (based on the number of drug candidates across each target disease indication).

• A case study highlighting the working principle of the most common approaches that are being employed for the development of BBB penetration technologies, such as receptor mediated transcytosis (RMT) (including bispecific antibodies and molecular trojan horse mediated delivery either by direct coupling or using nanocarriers), increasing permeability to the BBB, passive diffusion approach, and other novel approaches (including cell-penetrating peptides, macrocycles, and organ-on-a-chip technology).
• An informative analysis of contemporary Google Trends in the time period between 2015 and 2019 (till December) and insights generated from recent news articles related to the BBB, indicating the increasing popularity of this domain.
