Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) Market Outlook

Thelansis’s “Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2021 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 Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) treatment modalities options for eight major markets (USA, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and China).

Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) Overview

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) represents a diverse and heterogeneous collection of autosomal dominant degenerative disorders. These conditions are characterized by the progressive degeneration of the cerebellum and its associated nerve connections, along with typical involvement of structures like the basal ganglia, brainstem nuclei, pyramidal tracts, posterior column, anterior horn, peripheral nerves, and other parts of the nervous system. Clinically, SCAs manifest as cerebellar gait and limb ataxia, accompanied by various associated symptoms such as dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia, intention tremor, dysarthria, and nystagmus. Additionally, extracerebellar signs may emerge, including ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal signs, movement disorders (like parkinsonism, dystonia, myoclonia, and chorea), dementia, epilepsy, visual impairments (such as pigmentary retinopathy), lower motor neuron disease, and peripheral neuropathy. Several types of spinocerebellar ataxia exhibit a phenomenon known as anticipation, marked by a tendency for gradual expansion of CAG repeats across successive generations. Notably, CAG repeat expansion is observed in SCA1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 12, and 17. Similarly, SCA 10 is attributed to the expansion of ATTCT (a pentanucleotide repeat), while SCA 31, 36, and 37 involve amplification of TGGAA (pentanucleotide repeat), GGCCTG (hexanucleotide repeat), and ATTTT (pentanucleotide repeat), respectively. Currently, no FDA-approved treatments can address the underlying causes of SCAs. The primary approach to managing these conditions is symptomatic, aimed at alleviating specific symptoms such as seizures, tremors, depression, ataxia, and eye-related issues. This may involve using antiepileptic drugs for seizures, botulinum toxin injections for dystonia, beta-blockers, primidone for tremors, antidepressants for depression, and levodopa for parkinsonism, among other interventions.

• SCA accounts for 3% to 5% of the ataxic diagnosed population, with an estimated prevalence of 1 to 5 cases in 100,000 people.
