Scar Therapeutics - A Pipeline Analysis Report

Overview of the drug development pipeline for scar therapeutics

It has been observed that scars are the changes in the physical architecture of the skin. A scar occurs on the skin due to damage in the deeper layer of the skin, the dermis. Scars can also occur due to the healing process of skin tissues, and the severity of the scar depends upon the nature of the wound damage. In dermatology, a scar is the area of tissue that replaces the normal skin after an injury. The skin is in direct contact with the environment, and there are high chances of developing sensations and irritations. However, the appearance of scars differs from person to person, depending on the skin type, the location affected, and the type of injury. The different types of scars namely are keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, contracture scars, and acne scars. The most efficient approach for the treatment of scar tissue is considered to be monotherapy.

According to this pipeline analysis report, most of the drug molecules in the pipeline are being developed for the treatment of keloid scars. 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.

Therapeutic assessment of the drug development pipeline for scar therapeutics by route of administration

• Intradermal
• Topical
• Intradermal and topical
• Intramuscular
• Oral
• Parenteral
• Subcutaneous
• Subcutaneous and intradermal
• Unknown

The intradermal route of administration (ROA) involves the administration of the drug into the dermis, just below the epidermis with the use of injection, which will have a more direct effect on the target cells. In the topical technique, the drug molecules are applied to a particular place on or in the body
