Overview

The Multiple Sclerosis (MS) therapeutic market will experience a significant shift in power in the next five years. The current market leaders, Interferons and Copaxone, could lose their dominance to novel orally formulated and biologic treatments that offer superior convenience, efficacy, and quality of life for MS patients. The strong trend in the increased competitiveness of the oral class is also validated by the R&D efforts of the MS market leader, Biogen Idec (Avonex), who is investing heavily in 2 programs for oral drugs in phase 2 (CDP-323) and phase 3 (BG-12).

It is critical that stakeholders currently competing or considering entry into this hyper-competitive therapeutic market are well-informed with the latest intelligence on clinical trials of competitors of today and the future.
