Sales of Luliconazole in the US DO Market

GlobalData expects Topica’s to launch

Luliconazole in the US in 2018. We estimate that

2022 sales of efinaconazole will reach $94.52m in

the US.

Key factors affecting the uptake of efinaconazole

will include:

Strong safety profile with low infiltration for

limited systemic bioavailability, which limits the

odds of adverse reactions

Different MOA that increases its use of in

patients who do not respond to triazole-based

therapies

Ease-of-use, given its topical route of

administration, for direct antifungal activity in

the nail plate

Executive Summary

What Do the Physicians Think?

The key opinion leaders (KOLs) interviewed for this

report shared their insight on current and future

market and clinical trends within the US DO

market. They indicated that the primary concerns

within this market remain for safer and more

efficacious therapies, shorter treatment durations,

and better differential diagnostic tests.

“Oral medication requires lab monitoring and [is]

associated with severe liver reactions. So, when

most patients hear that they say, ‘I don’t want to

risk my liver or dying for my nail problems.’ Oral

medication works only on two or three patients and

have [sic] pretty low efficacy. Those patients on

whom it works well, they will get re-infected.

Topical therapies don’t work at all.”

US Key Opinion Leader, September 2012

“I cannot treat DO patients very much because

patients are concerned about the risk of treatment.

I see 300 to 400 of DO patients, from which I treat

only 15 to 20 because of the side effects of

available treatment.”

US Key Opinion Leader, August 2012

“I don’t think treatment rates will change because

we don’t have any good treatment [options]

currently available.”

US Key Opinion Leader, September 2013

“The cure rate is very low, even with the effective

treatments. With oral treatment we might have a

cure rate ranging from 60-80%. So we still have

20-40% of patients that do not respond to

treatment. I am talking about systemic antifungals.

So I think that there is a lot of space for

improvement. This is a situation where I would like

to have more effective treatments.”

US Key Opinion Leader, March 2013

Introduction

2 Introduction

2.1 Catalyst

The generically-driven US dermatophytic onychomycosis (DO) toenail market has experienced a

period of stagnation stemming from the lapse of the patent life on many highly-prescribed systemic

therapies, such as terbinafine and itraconazole. However, the introduction of new therapies that

offer better safety profiles and a topical route of administration is likely to cause waves in the DO

market and increase the market size by introducing patent-protected therapies for the first time in

more than six years.

The launch of topical agents, such as Valeant Pharmaceuticals’ efinaconazole, Celtic Pharma’s

TDT-067, and Anacor Pharmaceuticals’ tavaborole, is expected to provide the market with new

mechanisms of action in topical treatments, which is a marked change from the systemic

therapies that currently prevail in the market.

The growth of the elderly population, who are at an elevated risk of developing DO, functions

as a driver for the development of new products that are effective and have better safety

profiles.

Laser treatments for DO are seeing a surge in terms of development and adoption as a method

to treat infections, with minimal patient compliance concerns. While this movement is likely to

increase patient awareness, GlobalData expects it to pose a small barrier to the growth of the

new therapeutic regimens, which require prolonged treatment durations.
