Use of low-molecular-weight heparins and vitamin K antagonists for VTE set for sharp decline as oral agents roll out
The market shares of low-molecular-weight heparins and vitamin K antagonists continue to be gradually eroded by the uptake of novel oral anticoagulants in Europe for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention after orthopedic surgery, according to a new report from health c are advisory firm Decision Resources.
The near-term launches of oral agents for VTE treatment/secondary prophylaxis will trigger a sharp decline in the fortunes of low-molecular-weight heparins and vitamin K antagonists. In 2011, low-molecular-weight heparins and vitamin K antagonists were the leading therapies for VTE treatment/secondary prophylaxis and primary prophylaxis.
Overall market to grow from $4.1 billion in 2011 to $5.1 billion in 2021
