Cystitis - A Pipeline Analysis Report

Overview of the drug development pipeline for cystitis

Cystitis is the inflammation of the bladder usually caused by a bladder infection. It is a common type of urinary tract infection. Women are more often affected by cystitis than men. UTI happens when bacteria enter the bladder or urethra and begin to multiply. It could also happen with naturally occurring bacteria in the body that become imbalanced. These bacteria lead to an infection and cause inflammation. Cystitis can either be acute or interstitial. Acute cystitis is a case of cystitis that occurs suddenly. Interstitial cystitis is a chronic or long-term case of cystitis that affects multiple layers of bladder tissue. Both acute and interstitial cystitis have a range of possible causes. Uncomplicated cystitis refers to a lower UTI in either men or nonpregnant women. The incidence of UTI is 12% in women based on self-reported annual incidences. Since UTI is estimated to occur with as a frequency as 0.7 infections per person per year. Fifty percent of females will have at least one UTI at some stage in their life. Consequently, with rising incidences of cystitis, the need for drug development for cystitis is expected to rise in the upcoming years.

According to this pipeline analysis report, most of the drug molecules in the pipeline are being developed for cystitis. Our market research analysts have also identified that most of these molecules are in the pre-clinical development stage and a considerable number of molecules have been discontinued from development.
