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.
Uceris is a synthetic steroid of the glucocorticosteroid family that is indicated for mild-to-moderate UC. It is formulated as a slow-release foam that is administered rectally. Uceris binds to glucocorticoid receptors and causes suppression of endogenous cortisol concentrations and impairment of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function. Budesonide has mainly anti-inflammatory activity, and due to an extended first-pass effect, Uceris has less systemic absorption than other corticosteroids.
