Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The Fragile X syndrome (FXS) market size in the 2MM was valued at $21.9 million in 2020. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% during the forecast period. Since there are currently no approved therapies available, prescribed treatments are exclusively off-label drugs that target individual symptoms of the disease. Despite behavioral and educational interventions, patients with FXS continue to present with significant impairments in their functioning throughout life. It is suggested that an FXS-specific treatment that targets the underlying brain deficits could treat cognition and language impairments. The introduction of pipeline agents is a major driver of growth within the FXS market.

What are the market dynamics in the FXS market?

FXS is a lifelong disorder associated with a spectrum of developmental and behavioral issues, including psychiatric symptoms like anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD], and poor eye contact. Neurologic symptoms like seizures and movement disorders also indicate FXS. Other common features of the syndrome include characteristic physical attributes (large and prominent ears, long face, and flat feet) as well as deafness, due to the high recurrence of ear infections. The severity of these symptoms is dependent on the amount of FMRP protein that is produced.

The high failure rate associated with FXS drug development is due to the heterogeneity of the behavioral phenotypes and severity in patients. In 2020, in the 2MM, the sex-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of FXS were higher in men than women. Throughout the forecast period, it is observed that the symptom occurs more commonly in men than in women.

FXS is an active area of preclinical research and the identification of new potential drug targets using fmr1 K/O mice continues to strengthen the molecular basis of FXS. The orphan drug designation granted by the FDA and EMA provides companies and drug developers with additional benefits such as tax credits, reduced clinical testing fees, and additional patent exclusivity. During the 2020 base year, the atypical antipsychotics drug class contributed the highest sales to the FXS market.

What is the regional and country-level outlook of the FXS market?

In 2020, the US had the highest number of diagnosed prevalent cases of FXS, followed by Germany. The dominance of the US within the 2MM is due to its larger FXS population and higher drug prices.

What are the classifications of the FXS market?

An FXS patient’s set of symptoms can greatly change over time. They can range from mild anxiety or features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that affect communication and social interaction to more severe behavioral issues and cognitive deficits. However, there is not a system to grade the severity of behavioral symptoms such as hyperactivity and mood disorders including aggression and anxiety.

What are the current treatment options in the FXS market?

There are currently no approved therapies available for FXS. Prescribed treatment consists exclusively of off-label drugs that target individual symptoms of the disease. Some FXS patients require treatment with several different products to help alleviate their unique set of symptoms. The physician’s choice of treatment is heavily influenced by the tolerability of the drugs, side-effect profile, and the types and severities of symptoms. As such, first-line treatments vary widely among patients. Additionally, acute medications such as benzodiazepines and lithium may be used on an as-needed basis such as in distress crisis.

Patients with FXS benefit from educational and behavioral interventions alongside pharmacological therapy, and this can be tailored to the individual’s specific set of cognitive and learning deficits. As such, individualized education plans, speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, or behavioral therapy are often recommended to support the management of FXS symptoms. Early intervention is important as it aims to minimize symptoms and/or employ coping strategies to give patients the greatest chance of developing a full range of skills and the best opportunity to learn in a school environment. Many physicians avoid prescribing pharmacologic treatment for patients younger than five years old, as medication may have counterproductive effects on brain development during this time.

Who are the major players in the FXS market?

Some of the key players in the FXS market are Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Advanz Pharma Corp, Boehringer Ingelheim, Confluence Pharmaceuticals, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, H. Lundbeck, Janssen, Neuren Pharmaceuticals, Novartis, Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi, and Takeda.

Forecasts include two countries

Forecasts cover three time points: base year, 5-year, and 10-year

There are currently no approved therapies available for FXS, so prescribed treatments are exclusively off-label products that target individual symptoms of the disease. The most frequently used drug classes are: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), psychostimulants, antipsychotic agents, anticonvulsant agents, and antihypertensive anxiolytics.

The current treatment options that target FXS symptoms of irritability and aggression are often sedating and diminish patients’ interaction with their environment. This prevents disruptive behavior but negatively affects the patients’ quality of life. There is a need for interventions that suppress aggressive behavior without side effects.

Products in Phase I and II stages of development account for 89.7% of the FXS pipeline, while limited development is seen in Phase III trials with only one drug currently in development.

The FXS market will exhibit significant growth between 2020 and 2030, driven by the entry of four pipeline agents. Notably, the sales of high-priced pipeline agents, Zygel, zatolmilast, and trofinetide represent the most impactful drivers of growth.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors.

This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
