2. COPD: Market, Treatment and Development Overview 2
Introduction
It is widely recognized that the global social and economic burden of COPD is high; affecting an
estimated 64 million people worldwide. However, the availability of accurate data for COPD prevalence
is hampered by variability in study methodology and both under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis of the
disease. While 12 million Americans are diagnosed with COPD, it is estimated that an additional 12
million remain undiagnosed. The economic burden of COPD is tremendous. This creates a tremendous
opportunity for substantial economic gains by pharmaceutical companies that can bring novel products
to market. In Europe the annual economic burden of respiratory diseases is estimated to be
approximately โฌ102 billion, with COPD responsible for over half of the burden.
The COPD market is currently dominated by a few therapies in a very limited number of classes which
are used to manage the symptoms of COPD, but have little effect on the underlying, poorly understood
disease process. The substantial unmet need associated with the disease creates significant market
potential for players in the field. Indeed the COPD market is set to undergo significant change, with the
recent launch of a new product class and new highly anticipated combination therapies with block-
buster potential set to reach market in the near and mid-term. The patent expiration and arrival of
generics of some of the fieldsโ key drugs will also herald change in the market.

Sample Pages
From the section entitled โCOPD Prevalence: Europeโ
Europe with highest rates found in Italy and Germany. This does not entirely reflect data from WHO Europe on
the prevalence of smoking in Europe (see Figure 2). Germany has one of the highest rates of smoking
prevalence, estimated at approximately 34% which correlates with the countries high COPD prevalence,
however by comparison Italy reports a smoking prevalence of only 24% but an estimated COPD prevalence as
high as that of Germany. Sweden reports a high COPD prevalence but at 16% one of the lowest smoking
prevalence rates in Europe (33).

From the section entitled โR&D Trends in Treatment of COPDโ
Chapter 7: Clinical Development Pipeline
R&D Trends in the Treatment of COPD
Fixed Dose Combination Therapies
The development pipeline is dominated by fixed dose combination products. These include both LABA/ICS
combinations and LABA/LAMA combinations. Those in the LABA/ICS category are predominantly aimed at
combining the โultra-LABAsโ with ICS in order to provide once-daily dosing. The most advanced is GSKโs
Relovair, which ultimately hopes to replace the twice-daily Advair which will face generic competition in the
short to mid-term.
The development of once daily LABAs has brought the possibility of combination with LAMAs in one product.
Several of these combinations are now in late-stage development. Both muscarinic antagonists and beta2
agonists cause bronchodilation, but by different mechanisms of action. They also have non-bronchodilator
effects that can be complementary and beneficial in patients with COPD. The combination integrates two
medications which are often prescribed individually to optimize disease control, into one inhaler, thus cutting
the medication burden. This concept is being taken one step further by small biotech company Pearl
Therapeutics who are currently investigating a triple combination LABA/LAMA/ICS.
In an advance to the direct combination of two agents in one dosage form, GSK is developing a bifunctional long
acting bronchodilator, GSK961081, which combines both muscarinic antagonist and beta2 agonist activities in a
single molecule. The companyโs aim is to combine bifunctional activity and high lung selectivity to develop a
product with greater efficacy than single mechanism bronchodilators and with equal or better tolerability. The
molecule could then be combined with ICS in a single dose inhaler.
Novel Anti-inflammatory Therapies
As the understanding of the inflammatory process which underlies COPD grows and develops it raises the
possibility of targeting appropriate inflammatory mediators in order to relieve symptoms and affect the
underlying disease process. By directly influencing the cellular components of inflammation or interfering with
mediators which regulate the migration and activation of inflammatory cells, the inflammatory cascade can be
interrupted or inactivated. New entities directed at some of these potential targets are beginning to make their
way through the clinical trial process.
