The fields · the register by therapeutic area

Every therapeutic field, read the same way.

5 fields tracked closely, 32 molecules, one register. Each field described the same way — its disease burden, and how its market is structured by makers and patent status. The facts, field by field; no verdict.

Lipid-lowering
C10 · 7 molecules tracked
Statins and a fibrate. The class is almost entirely off-patent and multi-sourced; value sits in the high-intensity statins.

Diabetes
A10 · 6 molecules tracked
Biguanide, sulfonylureas, DPP-4 and SGLT2. The older agents are crowded; the SGLT2 class is the newest to reach the register in volume.

Hypertension
C02–C09 · 9 molecules tracked
CCBs, ACE inhibitors, ARBs and β-blockers. Every class here is off-patent and deeply multi-sourced — the most crowded field in the register.

Depression
N06A · 8 molecules tracked
SSRIs, SNRIs and an atypical. Off-patent and multi-sourced, but the most under-treated field — demand sits behind a diagnosis gap, not a supply gap.

Epilepsy
N03A · 2 molecules tracked
Modern antiepileptics. A smaller field — the newer agents carry most of the growth as older drugs fade.
