According to a new market research study of “Asia Pacific Asthma Drugs Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis by Medication, Route of Administration, Distribution Channel and Country.” The Asia Pacific asthma drugs market is expected to reach US$ 5,806.55 million by 2028 from US$ 3,783.73 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2021 to 2028. The report highlights trends prevailing in the Asia Pacific asthma drugs market and the factors driving market along with those that act as hindrances.
Many asthma patients observed that identifying and avoiding triggers, taking a daily inhaled or oral controller drug, and utilizing a quick-relief inhaler when symptoms arise are enough to keep their asthma under control. However, these drugs are insufficient to treat asthma for some people. Several novel drugs, namely "biologics," have recently been licensed for the treatment of moderate-to-severe asthma. Biologics are different from other medications as it targets a specific antibody, molecule, or cell involved in asthma. As a result, biologics are called precision or personalized therapy.
A biologic is a drug derived from the cells of a live organism, such as bacteria or mice, tailored to target specific molecules in humans. Antibodies, inflammatory chemicals, and cell receptors are the targets for asthma biologics. By targeting these molecules, biologics attempt to disrupt the processes that contribute to inflammation, which causes asthma symptoms.
Biologics are given to patients who continue to experience symptoms despite taking normal daily controller drugs. Symptoms of poorly controlled asthma include recurrent hospital admissions, emergency room visits, or the need for oral steroids for exacerbations; waking up at night with difficulty breathing; requiring a fast-acting reliever medication, such as albuterol, several times a day or week; and requiring a fast-acting reliever medication, such as albuterol, several times a day or week. Before prescribing a biologic, clinicians ensure that the patient is taking all of their other controller medications as prescribed, avoiding any potential triggers, and treating any other medical illnesses that can be exacerbating their asthma.
The main advantage of biologics has been a reduction in many asthma exacerbations, including ER visits, hospitalizations, and the need for oral steroids. Reduced asthma symptoms, lower dosages of other controller medications, and fewer missed school and workdays are other advantages of biologics. Biologics improve asthmatic patients' quality of life. A few biologics have been reported to help people with severe asthma improve their lung function.
Currently, five biologics for asthma are approved—omalizumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, benralizumab, and dupilumab. Omalizumab is an antibody that targets IgE allergy antibodies. Mepolizumab, reslizumab, and benralizumab target eosinophils, a type of cell that plays a role in allergic inflammation. Dupilumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets a receptor for two molecules that cause allergic inflammation. A doctor will obtain screening tests, such as blood work or environmental allergen skin prick testing, to determine which biologic can be the best possible way to treat asthma. Omalizumab is approved for patients aged six years old or older. All biologics, except for reslizumab, are approved for individuals aged 12 years old. Adults aged 18 and over are allowed to use reslizumab.
Biologics have been proved in trials to be quite safe and have a few side effects. Further, biologics are more expensive than other controller drugs, but the price is likely to drop due to increased demand, the introduction of new biologics, and large-scale manufacturing.
