Launch of Novel Drugs Boosts Asia Pacific Acne Medication Market
Innovative pharmaceutical developments, including topical and systemic medications, have fundamentally reshaped treatment approaches for acne. In 2024, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved Winlevi (clascoterone) cream 1% from Sun Pharmaceutical of India to treat acne vulgaris in individuals 12 years of age and older. In 2022, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries broadened the scope of its collaboration with Cassiopea with respect to an acne treatment. It has signed extension agreements to the license and supply contracts for WINLEVI (clascoterone) cream 1 percent, enlarging the geographical scope to encompass Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, and Russia. In 2023, Torii Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Nogra Pharma, a clinical-stage biotechnology company creating novel therapeutics for immune-inflammatory-mediated diseases, announced an out-licensing agreement for the development and commercialization of NAC-GED-0507 for the treatment of acne vulgaris in Japan.
Novel drug launches also include advanced formulations with improved efficacy, enhanced safety profiles, and reduced side effects, catering to the evolving needs of individuals seeking effective acne management. According to a statement released in October 2023 by Bausch Health Companies Inc. and its dermatology business—Ortho Dermatologics—the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the New Drug Application for CABTREO topical gel composed of 1.2%, 0.15%, and 3.1% clindamycin phosphate, adapalene, and benzoyl peroxide, respectively. This is a topical treatment indicated for acne vulgaris in patients aged 12 or older. CABTREO is the first and only topical triple combination acne therapy approved by the FDA, which is offered in a fixed-dose form. The company aims to make this gel available for patients in Q1 2024.
The introduction of novel medications, such as retinoids, anti-androgens, and immune modulators, has further expanded the therapeutic options available for healthcare professionals and individuals dealing with acne. The continuous introduction of new drugs stimulates competition, fosters innovation, and encourages research and development investments within the dermatological pharmaceutical industry. The heightened focus on personalized and targeted treatment approaches for treating acne forms a foundation for the advent of novel drugs to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. Thus, the launch of novel drugs significantly contributes to the progress of the Asia Pacific acne medication market.
