The multiple sclerosis treatment landscape has undergone dramatic changes over the past year. Biogen's Tecfidera has revolutionised multiple sclerosis treatment in the U.S., eroding significant market share from older therapies. However, patent concerns has stalled Tecfidera's launch in Europe. Genzyme have taken advantage of this delay with Lemtrada's (alemtuzumab) and Aubagio's (teriflunomide) EU approval. The arrival of these drugs is expected to transform multiple sclerosis treatment and be a catalyst for unprecedented market growth.

Over the next five years, the global multiple sclerosis market is set to grow from $14.4 billion in 2012 to $18.3 billion in 2017. Primary drivers of this growth will be the entry of new pipeline therapies, satisfying the unmet needs of convenient administration and more efficacious therapy, and continued uptake of existing therapies.

Key Quotes from the Report

"I think alemtuzumab is an excellent drug. It's very, very efficacious, and surprisingly well tolerated, considering its potency. They do need some blood monitoring each month but it's actually pretty easy to give and to monitor and certainly very effective." Dr Martin Wilson (Europe)

"Using Lemtrada is different from the other options we have available. It is a real investment in the patient's time. You enter into a contract over five years at least with monthly monitoring. That is something that a lot of patients cannot really foresee when they start such therapies. They need to have a certain insight into the disease and its nature. This is a difference between, let's say, a drug that you rather easily start on and get off, like Tecfidera versus Lemtrada, that is something you start and you don't get off ever." Dr Heinz Wiendl (EU)

"I think teriflunomide is moderately effective. It seems that there are no major severe risks. I would put it in the efficacy range of the current injectables, I don't think it offers an advantage over the currently available first-line drugs, but of course, as a tablet it's more convenient and would hold the promise of increasing adherence" European Key Opinion Leader
