Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) Market Outlook

Thelansis’s “Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2022 To 2032" covers disease overview, epidemiology, drug utilization, prescription share analysis, competitive landscape, clinical practice, regulatory landscape, patient share, market uptake, market forecast, and key market insights under the potential Primary Lateral Sclerosis treatment modalities options for eight major markets (USA, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and China).

Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) Overview

Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a rare and poorly understood motor neuron disease characterized by progressive dysfunction of the upper motor neurons, resulting in spasticity, mild weakness in voluntary muscle movements, hyperreflexia, and difficulty with motor speech production. The exact cause of PLS remains unknown, and it comprises less than 4% of all cases of motor neuron disease. The clinical presentation of PLS can vary, but it typically begins with progressive spasticity in the legs and later spreads to the arms and bulbar regions and weight loss. Mild frontal lobe dysfunction, memory deficits, and episodes of involuntary emotional expression also characterize PLS. Currently, there is no cure for PLS, and treatment is focused on managing symptoms with medications, assistive devices, and rehabilitation therapy. Optimal care for PLS requires a multidisciplinary team approach.

  • Primary lateral sclerosis incidence in the USA is estimated to be 3.8 per 100,000.

Geography Covered:

North America- the United States and Canada

Europe- EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom)

Other countries- Japan & China

Study Period: 2022-2032

Current Clinical Practice and Treatment Algorithm

This section of the study covers country-specific current clinical practice, the standard of care, and significant limitations around addressing the unmet needs. Retrospective analysis and bench-marking of clinical study outcomes are presented in terms of Pre-treatment & post-treatment clinical and demographic patient characteristics. Essentially, this section will cover the evolution of the current competitive landscape and its impact on the future treatment paradigm.

NPV/ IRR Calculator-

Optimization of cash flow/ revenue flow concerning all fixed and variable investments throughout the product development process. The rate of return on an investment is a critical indicator to ensure the profitability and break-even of the project.

Competitive Landscape:

The competitive landscape includes country-specific approved as well as pipeline therapies. Any asset/product-specific designation or review such as Orphan drug designation, Fast track, Priority Review, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Rare Pediatric Disease Designation, and Accelerated Approval are tracked and supplemented with analyst commentary.

Clinical Trial Assessment-

Detailed clinical trial data analysis and critical product positioning include trial design, primary outcomes, secondary outcomes, dosing and schedules, inclusion and exclusion criteria, recruitment status and essentially covers the reported adverse events. Majorly the trial analysis helps determine the potential of the critical assets and their probable filing and launch date.

Unmet Medical Needs Overview-

This report presents the most important clinical unmet needs in the treatment, according to Thelansis research and analysis. Other essential unmet needs identified through our study include decreased cost burden on patients, improved administration convenience, and improved patient compliance.
