Alzheimer's Therapeutics in Asia-Pacific Markets to 2021 - Growth Driven by Rising Prevalence, Growing Awareness and Expected Launch of Disease Modifying Therapies

Bangalore, Karnataka -- (SBWire) -- 04/12/2016 --Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive neurodegenerative disease, characterized by cognitive impairment, memory loss and functional decline. Symptoms typically begin to first occur in patients in their mid-sixties, appearing in varying stages. The pathological features of AD comprise histopathological changes within the brain. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a heterogeneous condition between normal cognition and dementia, whereby cognitive changes in mental abilities, such as memory or thinking, are affected. Almost all cases of AD begin with MCI, but it should be noted that not all patients with MCI go on to develop AD.

Although there is a high degree of failure and uncertainty within the R&D of AD drugs, the number of drugs in the pipeline is considerable, at 559. The majority of the pipeline products are novel, and there are only seven repositioned drugs and five generic drugs. This shows progression in terms of the different molecules being developed as therapeutic agents within the AD pipeline.
