SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- MedPredict Market Research, a global provider of pharmaceutical competitive intelligence and market research, has published a new report providing critical strategic insight for pharma and biotech companies with a stake in the market for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) therapies.
In this report, entitled Thought Leader Insight & Analysis: Rheumatoid Arthritis Q2 2008, MedPredict's global Thought Leader Panel reviews progress in developing biological and small molecule regimens for the treatment of early RA.
According to this report, the key change in practice occurring in the treatment of RA is the push toward earlier diagnosis and treatment, which is associated with more durable remission. New biomarkers and approaches to cellular imaging in early disease are also being investigated.
"Our Panel sheds light on which companies are likely to be positioned to capitalize on this trend," says MedPredict President Jeffrey D. Berk. "In addition, they offer predictions on how tocilizumab, certolizumab and golimumab will compete with the established biologicals, and how the current market leaders are positioning to defend their brands in the RA space. Their discussion will provide essential strategic and competitive insight for anyone with a stake in this market."
The report also addresses pain management in RA, provides a postmortem on the rituximab non-renal lupus trial, and discusses the most meaningful clinical developments related to the following mechanisms: Anti-TNF, Anti-CTLA, Anti-IL-1, Anti-IL-6, Antiresorptives, Anti-IL-17, p38 MAP kinase, JAK, Syk, PDE5, and more.
