2013-02-03 12:58:31 - Recently published research from GlobalData, "PharmaPoint: Rheumatoid Arthritis - India Drug Forecast and Market Analysis Event-Driven Update", is now available at Fast Market Research

GlobalData has released its new Country report, "PharmaPoint: Rheumatoid Arthritis - India Drug Forecast and Market Analysis Event-Driven Update". The RA market is currently very dynamic, with the November 6, 2012 FDA approval of Pfizer's Xeljanz (tofacitinib) and novel oral therapies awaiting approval such as: Eli Lilly's anti-BAFF, tabalumab and JAK1,2 inhibitor, baricitinib, and Rigel/AZ's SYK inhibitor, fostamatinib. These compounds will challenge the current biologics in the attempt to dislodge the stronghold of the TNF inhibitors, if their safety and efficacy profiles are proven once they enter the market.

Indian physicians included in our study typically follow guidelines such as ACR or EULAR, but also follow their own clinical experience. In India, the process to diagnosis a patient with RA usually

begins with the PCP or GP regardless of which potential stage the patient is in, then progresses with the referral to a rheumatologist for further diagnosis and treatment as this occurs about 32% of the time. Also, most people seeking treatment are within the 35-55-year-old group. Within this age group, females and males are equally distributed according to our physician experts.
