Frontier Pharma Obesity - Identifying and Commercializing
First-in-Class Innovation - Market study and key country
analysis research report
Obesity is a major growing health concern around the world. In most markets, a
person is considered obese if their Body Mass Index (BMI) exceeds 30 kilograms
per square meter (kg/m2), calculated by dividing body mass in kilograms by
height in meters squared. With the global prevalence continuing to rise, the
disease has placed significant burden on healthcare expenditure, as it is also a
major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer.

Anti-obesity pharmacotherapy can be used as an adjunct lifestyle modification to
improve weight loss in order to significantly reduce obesity-associated health risks
in obese patients. However, the use of currently available anti-obesity drugs is
largely limited by poor long-term safety and a modest weight loss effect. Despite
substantial clinical and regulatory challenges, the early-stage obesity pipeline
remains robust, containing a high level of first-in-class innovation that has the
potential to be translated into effective and safe weight loss treatments.
Scope
Historically, the obesity market has suffered from long-term safety concerns and
modest efficacy with current treatments, both of which contribute to the low
prescription rate and limited widespread use.
- What are the main safety concerns that lead to significant challenges in gaining
drug approval in obesity?
- Why is sustainable weight loss difficult to achieve, and what is the implication
for future drug development?
Analysis reveals a high level of innovation and diversity in the pipeline, with 75
first-in-class programs identified to act on 60 unique molecular targets.
- What is the dominant target family across these first-in-class pipeline products?
- How well do they align with the underlying...
