Heart failure is a major public health burden in China. With a rapidly rising urban population and a growing trend in unhealthy lifestyles, heart failure is expected to affect a sizable population in the country. Although the treatment of acute heart failure (AHF) is dominated by older, cost-effective generic drugs, we expect the growing uptake of recently approved SGLT-2 inhibitors—dapagliflozin (Bristol Myers Squibb’s Farxiga) and empagliflozin (Boehringer Ingelheim’s Jardiance)—to boost the heart failure market. However, a significant unmet need exists for the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) with preserved ejection fraction, where treatment options are limited, representing an opportunity for drug developers. In addition, the ongoing reforms in the regulatory and A&R landscape of China are expected to encourage MNCs to enter the heart failure market.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- How large is China’s drug-treatable heart failure population, and how will the drug-treatment rate change during the forecast period?
- What are the most commercially relevant drugs in China’s heart failure market, and why? What are interviewed experts’ insights into current treatment options? Which clinical needs remain unfulfilled?
- What are the key market access considerations for key therapies in the heart failure pipeline in China? What sales/uptake could they secure in heart failure?
- What are the key drivers and constraints in the Chinese heart failure market, and how will the market evolve over the forecast period?
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
China In-Depth offers comprehensive market intelligence, including world-class epidemiology, keen insight into the China-specific A&R environment, current treatment paradigms, in-depth pipeline assessments, and drug forecasts supported by detailed primary and secondary research. This solution helps companies gauge commercial outlooks and optimize clinical development, subpopulation targeting, physician messaging, and overall long-term strategy in China.
