Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Lupus Nephritis: Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2027

Summary

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease that can affect any organ or tissue and is the prototypic autoimmune disease. While SLE can affect multiple major organ systems in the body, one of its most severe manifestations includes renal (kidney) involvement, known as lupus nephritis (LN). The etiology of SLE is incompletely understood, but is thought to be the result of genetic/epigenetic abnormalities, and hormonal and environmental factors. In general, autoimmunity is the result of inadequate regulation of immune cells, which leads to uncontrolled activation of immune cells, such as B and T-cells, which in turn perpetuate chronic inflammatory responses. In SLE, deregulated cellular degradation caused by apoptosis and NETosis appears to play a central role in this process, as it can lead to prolonged exposure to self-antigens and activation of the immune system towards these antigens, causing serious inflammation.

The main driver of the enormous expansion of the SLE and LN market will be the launch of many different novel therapies and an increase in patient shares towards the biologics due to increased efficacy of these therapies.

The major global barrier for the SLE and LN market will be the annual cost of therapy for the new pipeline drugs

The key market opportunities lie in addressing unmet needs through the development of more efficacious drugs for SLE and LN patients with less occurrence of adverse events
