Introduction
Introduction
In 2012, the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) market was dealt a huge blow following negative results from pivotal Phase III trials of Pfizer and J&J’s bapineuzumab and the intravenous formulation of the drug was discontinued. Expectations for beta-amyloid theory were low following this failure; however results from Eli Lilly’s solanezumab have offered a glimmer of hope for the AD community. Although missing its primary endpoints, pooled analysis of solanezumab data in mild patients showed a statistical significant slowdown of cognitive decline.
With novel therapies slowly emerging from the pipeline, such as beta secretase and tau therapies, and positive research into biomarkers to aid early AD diagnosis there is renewed hope as the market enters a new phase of development.
The KOL Insight module of Alzheimer’s Disease: Beta-amyloid light fases to leave development hole is compiled from exclusive, in-depth interviews with the world’s leading KOLs in AD. It identifies and analyses the major factors, advances and trends currently influencing the AD treatment landscape. The report focuses on late-stage pipeline products, and how these could modify future AD management.
FirstWord selected the KOLs for this Therapy Trends report based on their level of engagement and influence within the AD pharmaceutical industry, and their scientific standing. Our unique KOL scoring system identifies those thought-leaders with the greatest insight into how AD clinical research will shape the future market.

Methodology
This report provides a qualitative overview of the current and future Alzheimer’s disease (AD) market. Information was gathered from telephone discussions held with twelve key opinion leaders (KOLs), from across the major AD markets, including France, Germany, Italy, the UK and the US. These regions were selected because they contain many of the largest global markets for the pharmaceutical industry, and also dictate the dynamics of Pharma markets in other countries.
In order to critically select Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) a number of parameters were considered including their clinical experience, scientific publications, involvement with Pharma, involvement in clinical trials, and record of presenting at high profile international conferences.
Subject matter for discussion in the interviews covered future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for AD, the future of AD drug classes, and new drugs entering the market. These leading KOLs also gave their views on current research, the usefulness of existing AD drug classes, the cost of newer drugs and other concerns in the therapy area.
