During the forecast period from 2012-2022, the growth of the UC market will be driven largely by the entry of Johnson & Johnson’s (J&J’s) Simponi and Takeda’s Entyvio, which will lead to an increase in the overall number of patients being treated with biologics in the US, 5EU, Japan, and Canada. Another key event affecting the UC market is the anticipated launch of biosimilars, given that the patent expiry of the UC blockbusters, Remicade and Humira are set to expire in the US in 2018 and 2016, respectively.
Takeda Pharmaceuticals developed Entyvio for the treatment of moderate to severe CD and UC. Takeda’s subsidiary, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, sponsored the Entyvio clinical trials, GEMINI I, GEMINI II, and GEMINI III, as well as the ongoing GEMINI LTS trial. Entyvio has been studied in 2,700 patients in nearly 40 countries, making it the largest Phase III clinical trial program ever conducted evaluating both CD and UC patients.
