Dublin, June 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Market Spotlight: Fragile X Syndrome" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This Market Spotlight report covers the Fragile X Syndrome market, comprising key pipeline drugs, clinical trials, upcoming events, patent information, recent events and analyst opinion, a discussion on disease epidemiology, and licensing and asset acquisition deals.

Key Takeaways

• Based on cohorts of children with special educational needs, prevalence of fragile X syndrome (FXS) is estimated to be 1 in 4,000 in males, and 1 in 8,000 in females.
• The majority of the industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for FXS are in Phase II, with only one drug in Phase III.
• Therapies in mid- and late-stage development focus on targets such as cannabinoid-1/cannabinoid-2 receptor, phosphodiesterase 4, insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor, and GABA-A receptor. The majority of the pipeline drugs are administered via the oral and intravenous routes, while one drug is available in a topical formulation.
• High-impact upcoming events in the FXS space comprise topline Phase III trial results for ZYN-002, and topline Phase II trial results for OV101.
• The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I neurodevelopmental disorders asset is 4.8%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 28.6%. Drugs, on average, take 8.3 years from Phase I to approval, compared to 9.6 years in the overall neurology space.
• There have been five licensing and asset acquisition deals involving FXS drugs during 2014-19. The exclusive licensing agreement in 2017 between Boehringer Ingelheim and Autifony Therapeutics, worth $737.5m, for a collaboration on a novel therapeutic approach to a range of CNS disorders, was the largest deal during the period.
• All clinical trials for FXS have been in Phase II, with no Phase III trials to date.
• The US leads in terms of the number of FXS clinical trials globally.
