Executive Summary
Executive Summary
The Obesity Therapeutics Market has Few Candidates in Late-stage Development, Limiting Market Growth
Only XX% of the developmental pipeline is currently in the late stages of development, with only XX drug candidate in Pre-registration and XX in Phase III. This therefore limits the number of drugs with the potential to be approved during the forecast period and subsequently the potential for market growth. Over two thirds of the pipeline molecules (XX%) are in the discovery or Pre-registration Phases of development, suggesting a recent surge in interest in anti-obesity drugs. This may be a reflection of the continued increase in the prevalence of obesity and a need for additional treatment to the currently favored option of lifestyle modification, through dieting and increased exercise.

The Growth of the Anti-obesity Drugs Market is Restricted by High Attrition Rates
The successful transition of anti-obesity drugs from Phase I to market is very difficult. The development of more than XX% of products is terminated before reaching Pre-registration. This may contribute to the low number of drug candidates seen at the later stages of the developmental pipeline Figure 1. Furthermore, previously approved drugs, including Sanofi-Aventis’ Acomplia (rimonabant) and Knoll Pharmaceutical’s/Abbott Laboratories’ Meridia (sibutramine), were withdrawn from the market in 2008 and 2010 respectively due to the emergence of serious side effects post-marketing, such as severe depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and cardiovascular complications, including heart failure. This has resulted in a stagnant anti-obesity market over the past decade, with only orlistat being proven safe as a long-term treatment for obesity (Figure 3).

Introduction
2 Introduction
2.1 Etiology and Pathophysiology
Obesity is one of the major growing health concerns in the developed world, and has gained increased media attention over last decade as prevalence rates have continued to grow. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor in the development of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes, all of which incur economic and healthcare costs. As such, attention is being turned to treating obesity as the underlying cause of these chronic and expensive-to-treat diseases. Efforts have historically focused on schemes to encourage overweight and obese patients to undertake lifestyle changes to lower their weight, but as a continuing issue, the development of a pharmacological therapy is being sought to help tackle the problem of obesity and its comorbidities.
Obesity in most countries is defined as an accumulation of excess body fat, with a person being considered obese if their Body Mass Index (BMI) is over XX kilograms per square meter (kg/m2) (Cooke and Bloom, 2006). In East Asian populations, which are more susceptible to the health effects of gaining weight, a person with a BMI of more than XXkg/m2 is considered clinically obese.
There are two distinct patterns of obesity in the general population: central and peripheral. Central obesity, which is more common in males, is associated with increased adipose tissue in the anterior chest wall, anterior abdominal wall, and visceral organs (Zammit et al., 2010). Peripheral obesity, more common in women, is the deposition of fat in peripheral subcutaneous (sc) tissue. In most cases, obesity is the result of an individual consuming more energy than required, creating an energy imbalance with the excess energy stored as fat. However, there is evidence that some individuals may be more susceptible to obesity due to genetic factors, endocrine disorders or psychiatric illness. For example, Lep, which is a cytokine-like peptide mainly expressed by adipocytes, is now believed to be a regulator of fat metabolism and fat uptake. Mice with a homozygous mutation in the obesity of leptin gene, which encodes leptin, have been demonstrated to develop hereditary obesity. Similarly, mutations in the B2-adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB2) which encodes a lipolytic receptor protein, has been implicated in several diseases including hypertension and obesity (Martinez-Hernandez et al., 2007). Several genetic syndromes such as Prader-Willi syndrome and Cohen syndrome are also known to result in obesity.
2.2 Classification
Whether an individual is obese, overweight, or of normal weight is commonly determined by their BMI and where this falls within the World Health Organization’s defined categories, as outlined Table 1. An individual’s BMI is calculated by dividing a person’s mass in kilograms by their height in meters squared. Although not a direct measure of body fat, it is inexpensive and simple to calculate compared to methods such as underwater weighing and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, making it easy for healthcare professionals and the public to use. Other inexpensive methods of determining body fat include an individual’s waist circumference.
There are limitations to the use of BMI as a diagnostic tool for obesity. Although a high BMI generally equates to high adiposity, this is not always the case, as individuals with increased muscle mass may have a high BMI without similarly high adiposity (Daniels, 2009).

4.1 Overview of Pipeline by Phase, Molecule Type and Molecular Target
Figure 6 highlights the distribution of pipeline products across all stages of development for anti-obesity therapeutics. The distribution is atypical in comparison to the vast majority of other indications, with a disproportionally large number (XX) currently in the Preclinical Phase, with only three drug candidates in late-stage development. This trend may reflect a reduced interest in obesity drugs in recent years as a result of the numerous market withdrawals and application failures of other obesity drugs as a result of safety concerns. In 2009, Sanofi’s Acomplia (rimonabant) was removed from the European market (not approved elsewhere) due to AEs of suicidal thoughts and severe depression. More recently, in 2010, Abbott Laboratories’ Meridia (sibutramine) was withdrawn from the market due to its psychiatric AEs. The data suggests that due to the increased growth of obesity as a global endemic, which is anticipated to get worse, interest in drugs for obesity has been re-ignited.
Small molecules are the most common across the entire pipeline, accounting for XX%, with peptides/proteins accounting for XX%. When trends across the Phases are analyzed, the only molecule types observed at the later Phases of Pre-registration, Phase III and Phase II are small molecules and proteins/peptides, whereas other forms of molecule type (including oligonucleotides and vaccines) are seen in Phases I and Preclinical, suggesting a growing level of innovation in recent years.
Treatment options for obesity typically target either central mechanisms, controlling appetite and/or energy expenditure, or peripheral mechanisms acting systemically (for example affecting the absorption of food) (Cooke and Bloom, 2006). Pipeline drugs for obesity can be categorized into the five main categories of molecular targets seen throughout the pipeline Figure 6. Over a third (XX%) of all drug candidates in the pipeline fall into the category of centrally acting appetite regulators, XX% more than the combined percentage distribution of all other pipeline molecules for which the molecular target is known. Some XX% of the pipeline has no known/disclosed molecular target.
Further supporting the level of innovation of therapeutics for obesity, recent improvements in the understanding of peptidergic signaling from the GI tract to control hunger and satiety has opened up a new range of potential molecular targets including ghrelin, cholecystokinin, peptide YY and glucagon-like-peptide-1. The potential of these new molecular targets is reflected in their frequency in the developmental pipeline, as outlined in Table 12. Glucagon-like-peptide agonists are particularly promising, as they have already been approved for the treatment of diabetes (Rodgers et al., 2012).
The distribution is atypical […] with a large number currently in the Preclinical Phase, with only three drug candidates in late-stage development

4.2 Clinical Trial Duration and Size
4.2.1 Clinical Trial Duration
As expected, the average duration for clinical trials increases as obesity drug candidates progress thorough the stages of development, from an approximate average of XX months in Phase I to XX months in Phase II and XX months in Phase III Figure 7. These figures are slightly below the average for the relevant therapy area (metabolic disorders) for both Phase II and III by a margin of one to two months, and significantly below the industry average at Phases I, II and III by seven, eight and five months respectively, which may be a result of easily measurable primary and secondary weight loss-related endpoints measured over a set time period. The range of clinical trials at each Phase increases between Phase I and II, a potential result of the change in endpoints and trial parameters between Phase I, when safety of the drug is most often tested, to a wider variation in endpoints at Phase II, with different endpoints in Phase II requiring different lengths of time to analyze.
Further analysis of molecule-type specific trends in the clinical trial duration suggests that for Phases I and II, the average clinical trial durations is longer for proteins/peptides than for small molecules by a degree of two and XX months in Phase I and II respectively. Conversely, in Phase III, average clinical trial duration is shorter for proteins/peptides than for small molecules, however this data may be affected by the small population sizes for proteins/peptides.
Clinical trial data for specific molecular targets are limited, but the averages are provided for those molecular targets with a large enough sample sizes in Table 13. There are no noticeable differences between Phases I and II, but there is a large and significant variation in clinical trial duration of XX months between trials of drugs targeting fat synthesis and those targeting energy expenditure (metabolism).

Market Forecasts
5.2.3 Market Size
In 2012, the US market accounted for XX% of the total market size across the top five countries in the EU, Japan and the US, with US revenues of approximately $XXm attributed to the sales of orlistat and amphetamine-like drugs (predominantly Phentermine). Phentermine has been available as a weight loss drug since the 1950s, its patent having expired long before it made any impact on the market. Orlistat’s patent expired in 2009 and generic versions are available in the US and EU.
The only drugs likely to boost revenues in the US are Qsymia and potentially Cametor if it gains approval, as their superior efficacy to orlistat will strengthen prescription volumes. Sales of these drugs, the increase in the prevalence of obesity, and inflation, are expected to be the major driving forces until the anticipated approval of Novo Nordisk’s Victoza for obesity in 2019. Its high efficacy will increase variation in the market, potentially increasing the prescription volumes of anti-obesity drugs as a whole, especially as Victoza is already marketed for type 2 diabetes and so is familiar to healthcare professionals.
GBI Research expects the market in the US to grow at a CAGR of XX% from 2012 to a value of approximately $XX billion in 2019, accounting for an estimated 82% of the global market. In a peak market size scenario, the CAGR is estimated to be XX% with revenues of $XX billion. A CAGR of XX% is predicted for a lower market size scenario, corresponding to market revenues of $XX billion.

7.7 Therapeutic Landscape
Revenues for each indication are calculated by utilizing the GBI Research market forecasting model. The global revenue for each indication is the sum value of revenues of all seven countries covered in this report.
The annual cost of therapy for each indication is arrived at by considering the cost of the drugs, dosage of the drugs and the duration of the therapy.
The generic share of the market for each indication is obtained by calculating the prescription share for generic drugs and the respective cost of treatment.
The treatment usage pattern which includes quantitative data on the diseased population, diagnosed population and treated population for an indication, is arrived at by referring to various sources as mentioned below.
GBI Research uses the epidemiology-based treatment flow model to forecast market size for therapeutic indications.

7.8 Epidemiology-Based Forecasting
The forecasting model used at GBI Research makes use of epidemiology data gathered from research publications and primary interviews with physicians to represent the treatment flow patterns for individual diseases and therapies. The market for any disease segment is directly proportional to the volume of units sold and the price per unit.
Sales = Volume of Units sold X Price per Unit
The volume of units sold is calculated on the average dosage regimen for that disease, duration of treatment and number of patients who are prescribed drug treatment (treatment population). Treatment population is calculated as the percentage of population diagnosed with a disease (diagnosis population). The prevalence of a disease (diseased population) is the percentage of the total population that suffers from a disease/condition.
Data on and diagnosis and prescription rates, if unavailable from research publications, are gathered from interviews with physicians and are used to estimate the patient volumes for the disease under consideration. Therapy uptake and compliance data are fitted in the forecasting model to account for patient switching and compliance behavior.
The annual cost of treatment is calculated using product purchase frequency and the average price of the therapy. Product purchase frequency is calculated from the dosage data available for the therapies and drug prices are gathered from public sources. The source for the price of drugs are RxUSA, ZenRx, the UK Prescription Cost Analysis, the British National Formulary and data from the Japan Pharmaceutical Information Center (JAPIC).
The epidemiology-based forecasting model uses a bottom-up methodology and it makes use of estimations in the absence of data from research publications. Such estimations may result in a final market value which is different from the actual value. To correct this ‘gap’ the forecasting model uses ‘triangulation’ with the help of base year sales data (from company annual reports, internal and external databases) and sales estimations.
Analogous Forecasting Methodology
Analogous forecasting methodology is used to account for the introduction of new products, patent expiries of branded products and subsequent introduction of generics. Historic data for new product launches and generics penetration are used to arrive at robust forecasts. Increase or decrease of prevalence rates, treatment seeking rate, diagnosis rate and prescription rate are fitted into the forecasting model to estimate market growth rate.
The proprietary model enables GBI Research to account for the impact of individual drivers and restraints in the growth of the market. The year of impact and the extent of impact are quantified in the forecasting model to provide close-to-accurate data sets.

The above figure represents a typical forecasting model followed in GBI Research. As discussed previously, the model is built on the treatment flow patterns. The model starts with the general population, then the diseased population as a percentage of the general population, and then follows the treatment-seeking population as a percentage of the diseased population and the diagnosed population as a percentage of the treatment-seeking population. Finally, the total volume of units sold is calculated by multiplying the treated population by the average dosage per year per patient.
