Huntingtons Disease - A Pipeline Analysis Report

Overview of the drug development pipeline for Huntington's Disease

Huntington’s disease is an inherited genetic disorder, which causes the death of the brain cells. Its is a highly fatal disease causing the progressive breakdown of the nerve cells. The risk of a person developing the Huntington’s disease is about 50% due to the passing of mutated huntingtin gene from parents.  The disease could further result in pneumonia, health failure, and various other complications that could lead to the death of the patient. The prevalence of this disease across the world is about 5-10 cases per every 100,000 people. It varies on the geographical front due to various factors such as migration and ethnicity. It even spreads evenly among men and women. Furthermore, the prevalence of Huntington’s disease is high in Western Europeans, with a rate of seven people per every 100,000 people. Consequently, Technavio’s market research analysis suggests, the rising prevalence of this disease is further expected to promote the drug development for Huntington’s disease in the upcoming years.

According to this pipeline analysis report, most of the drug development molecules in the pipeline are being developed for the treatment of Huntington's Disease. 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.
