Report: Diverse asthma pipeline presents major opportunity for investors

5 June 2015

The active and diverse treatment pipeline for asthma boasts a striking level of innovation, with many first-in-class products representing significant investment opportunities, according to business intelligence provider GBI Research.

The company’s latest report found that that while asthma therapy development is dominated by small molecule compounds, with 156 products representing 67% of the pipeline, the R&D landscape has moved towards biologics on an unprecedented scale. There are now 60 biologics in the pipeline, representing a 26% share. Yasser Mushtaq, senior analyst for GBI Research, said: “There is a high degree of innovation across the entire asthma therapeutics pipeline. This includes Phase III, consisting of multiple first-in-class drugs, many of which are biologics.”
