Hepatitis B Virus Infection – Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2029
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious liver disease caused by the failure of viral clearance following acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The global disease burden is high in the nine major markets (9MM: US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, Brazil, and China); it is especially high in China. For most patients, CHB is a lifelong disease that cannot be cured, with only a very small number of patients entering remission each year. Patients with CHB have a...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV): Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2027
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a β human herpesvirus (HHV-5) of the herpesviridae family. Exposure to the virus can result in lytic infection, producing symptoms that range from those of a common cold to more serious morbidities, including hepatitis and pneumonitis. CMV also has the capacity to establish life-long latent infections, incorporating genomic DNA into host cells without detectable viral gene expression. CMV is a globally ubiquitous pathogen that affects 1/3 of children by the age of 5 and over half of...

OpportunityAnalyzer: Sepsis and Septic Shock – Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2026
Sepsis is a complex disease, which not only involves a wide array of causative agents, but also results in different individual immune responses, causing various single or multiple organ dysfunction(s). Late 2016, the sepsis and septic shock market embraced new consensus definitions for sepsis and septic shock, which for the first time mandate an organ dysfunction underlying an infection to be classified as suffering from sepsis or septic shock. Past clinical development of drugs has been hampered by late stage...

OpportunityAnalyzer: Clostridium difficile Infections – Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2026
Clostridium difficile, a Gram-positive, spore-forming, toxin-producing, non-invasive, anaerobic bacterium, is the causative organism of C. difficile infection (CDI), which is commonly associated with colitis, as well as C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD. CDIs begin with colonization of the intestinal tract with C. difficile through community-acquired or healthcare-associated means. Observed most frequently in healthcare settings, CDIs often occur when normal intestinal flora are disrupted by antibiotic administration, which can give C. difficile a competitive growth advantage if patients are exposed to the...
