Sales of Remicade in the Global Psoriasis Market 2012–2022

We estimate the drug sales of Remicade to be

$540.3m across seven of the nine major markets

covered in this report which include: US, France,

Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and Japan. By forecast

end in 2022, sales of Remicade will decline as it

will be the first biologic to go off patent beginning in

2014. We estimate the Remicade market to decline

at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of

negative 8.17%. This decline will be driven by:

Cannibalization by biosimilars

The approval of first PsO biosimilar, Remsima,

in Asian market

The anticipated launch of biosimilar versions of

Remicade, as well as the leading TNF

inhibitors, Enbrel and Humira

The competition with Stelara, J&J’s novel IL-

12/IL- 23 inhibitor that has gained strong

backing from physicians

The advent of novel therapies coming onto the

market from 2014 onwards, such as biologics

that target IL-17 or IL-23, as well as novel oral

small molecules targeting PDE-4 and JAK3

Besides, Remicade is reserved as a last resort

specifically for those with severe PsO and is the

only IV infusion therapy, so it takes a backseat to

other therapies, which is why it is not placed higher

in the treatment paradigm.

What do the Physicians Think?

Drug resistance and patients becoming refractory

to therapies in less than three years have become

main issues of discussion in the PsO world.

“The resistance issue will be an issue in the five-

year [time] frame. We need alternative, possible

alternative choices. The larger the number of

available drugs, the better.”

[EU] key opinion leader, January 2013

The upcoming launches of the IL-17 inhibitors have

KOLs extremely excited, as they hope to be able to

put them to use early in the treatment paradigm.

However, we encountered some physician experts

who felt that the current pipeline would not unseat

the established anti-TNF drugs.

“I’m most excited about the antagonist IL-17. I find

these drugs very effective and quite safe. I think

they will probably have a role in the future.”


“I don’t think [the] new biologics coming will have

an impact on the use of TNF inhibitors.”

[US] key opinion leader, December 2012



Executive Summary

The use of biosimilars has also been a hot topic

among dermatologists and other physicians who

prescribe biologics for the warranted indications.

However, there is a misconception as to the pricing

of these biologic generics; we discovered mixed

feelings among physicians regarding their

presence due to manufacturing or pricing.

“I think it’s an opportunity. This market is highly

price-sensitive...when they come to the market;

they will completely grab the market of the anti-

TNFs, provided the prices are 30 to 50%. It is very

significant…If it’s 20%, then I’m disappointed.”

Introduction

2 Introduction

2.1 Catalyst

The psoriasis market is currently very dynamic, with novel therapies awaiting approval, such as:

Novartis’ interleukin-17 (IL-17) inhibitor, secukinumab

Merck’s interleukin-23 (IL-23) inhibitor, MK-3222

Celgene’s phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitor, apremilast

These compounds will challenge the current biologics in an attempt to dislodge the stronghold of

the TNF inhibitors, if their safety and efficacy profiles are proven once they enter the market.

The impending patent cliff will allow for the emergence of biosimilars to all the marketed brands.

Patent expiries begin in 2014 for the current market leaders, such as:

Johnson & Johnson’s Remicade (infliximab)

AbbVie’s (Abbott’s pharmaceutical division) Humira (adalimumab)

Amgen’s Enbrel (etanercept)

Johnson & Johnson’s Stelara (ustekinumab)

The drivers for market growth will also include affordable treatments throughout the world, as well

as the push for long-term drug efficacy. India and China will also contribute to market growth as

their populations obtain increasing access to PsO pharmacotherapy, but we expect slow growth,

particularly in India. The challenges will be the crowded marketplace, comprising a highly-

diversified field of therapies, with individual drugs struggling to distinguish themselves.
