Gaucher Disease Drugs Demand Increasing Continuously due to the Huge Demand for Substantial Enough Treatment for Disease

Gaucher disease is a genetic and hereditary condition due to which there is a collection of fatty substances in the cells and organs. The typical symptoms of Gaucher disease include constant fatigue, anemia, bruising of skin, enlarged spleen and liver, along with low blood platelet count. The main cause of Gaucher disease is the deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. The deficiency is hereditary, which means a child is more at risk than the adult. The enzyme acts on glucocerebroside, a glycolipid, to synthesize it. When a patient suffers from Gaucher disease, his/her glucocerebrosidase enzyme is defective, which causes a build-up of glucosylceramide, especially in the white blood cells and macrophages. The macrophages are not able to clean the fatty substance out, leading to its accumulation. The now fatty substance-filled cells are called as Gaucher Cells and look like crumpled up paper under the microscope. The fatty substance collects in the liver, spleen, kidneys, brain, lungs, and bone marrow. The signs and symptoms are varying in nature among those affected by Gaucher disease.

The key factor driving the global gaucher disease drugs market is the rising demand for a substantial and economical course of treatment for the disease. Presently, the disease is treated with the help of enzyme replacement therapy. Enzyme replacement therapy is heavily expensive and requires treatment throughout the lifetime of a patient. However, owing to the rarity of the disease, the healthcare practitioners have encountered challenges in finding the optimal dosage and dosing frequency of intravenous recombinant glucocerebrosidase.

To avoid the high cost that this course of treatment invariably carries, the efforts towards the development of gaucher treatment drugs have gathered pace. The low incidence of the disease on a global front, with most cases concentrated in Eastern Europe, gaucher drugs have gained the title of orphan drug across several countries. As a result, development in the gaucher disease drugs market is largely dependent on recognition and funding from government bodies to support research into medicines that address a small population base.

One of the key trends in the market is the development of drugs with the help of recombinant DNA technology. One of the first gaucher drugs, alglucerase (Ceredase), was made from glucocerebrosidase gathered from human placental tissue and then modified with the help of enzymes. The drug has been withdrawn from the market owing to the approval of similar drugs made with the help of recombinant DNA technology.

The report presents a thorough overview of the competitive landscape of the global gaucher disease drugs market with the help of detailed business profiles of some of the key companies operating in the market. The companies operating in the market profiled in the report are JCR Pharmaceuticals, Genzyme Corporation, Protalix BioTherapeutics, Neuraltus Pharmaceuticals, ExSAR Corporation, Dong-A-Socio Holdings, Amicus Therapeutics, Greenovation Biotech GmbH, and Lixte Biotechnology Holdings.
