Starpharma Holdings Limited Received a Patent for SPL7013 Ophthalmic Drops for Viral Conjunctivitis Drugs Market

 

The growing incidence of viral conjunctivitis cases is driving the growth of the viral conjunctivitis drugs market. According to National Center for Biotechnology: 2017, adenovirus is the most common cause of viral conjunctivitis and up to 70% of cases of acute conjunctivitis are viral. The number of individuals affected by viral conjunctivitis is estimated to be as high as 15 to 20 million per year in the U.S. Additionally, a rising number of research and development activities for enhancing the effectiveness of viral conjunctivitis drugs is again projected to accelerate the growth of the market. For instance, in 2019, iVIEW Therapeutics Inc., a clinical-stage ophthalmology drug development company, announced the dosing of the first patient in Phase II clinical trial. iVIEW Therapeutics Inc. is testing the safety and efficacy of the IVIEW-1201 in patients (age ≥15 years) for the treatment of acute adenoviral conjunctivitis.

In 2018, Starpharma Holdings Limited, a company headquartered in Australia, received a patent for SPL7013 ophthalmic drops for viral conjunctivitis from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent has been granted to the company due to its broad claims for treating and preventing microbial infections of the eye, including adenoviral conjunctivitis, bacterial conjunctivitis, and other eye infections

In April 2020, Ocular Therapeutix™, Inc. a biopharmaceutical company focused on the formulation for diseases and conditions of the eye, announced topline results from its Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DEXTENZA® for the treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis (AC).

North America is expected to hold a dominant position in the global viral conjunctivitis drugs market due to growing product approval in the region. For instance, on February 23, 2021, Bausch + Lomb launched Alaway Preservative Free (ketotifen fumarate ophthalmic solution 0.035%) antihistamine eye drops. It is indicated to relieve eye itchiness caused due to conjunctivitis. Moreover, it is the first over-the-counter (OTC) preservative-free antihistamine eye itch relief drop approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Viral conjunctivitis can result from a viral infection with one or more known fungal pathogens. Commonly, the infections are caused by Staphylococcus aureus, which is found commonly in the eyes; the nose, throat, and sinuses. A group of related species also cause systemic infection of the skin, lungs, and blood vessels. These species include E. coli, which is responsible for food poisoning, and the common respiratory tract infection flu. Other yeasts also produce conjunctivitis, including Candida albicans, which causes infections of the bladder and other mucous membranes. Apart from antiviral agents, the global conjunctivitis market is also flooded with topical agents such as steroids, salicylic acid, and azelaic acid.

The Outbreak of COVID-19 to Augment Growth of the Patient Centric Healthcare App Market

 

The emergence of COVID-19 (the global pandemic) is driving the growth of the patient centric healthcare app market. Telehealth has the potential to address many of the key challenges in providing health services during the outbreak of COVID-19. Moreover, the pandemic has made video telemedicine the safest interactive system between patients and clinicians. For example, in May 2021, Proximus innovated in the field of e-Health with patient-centric teleconsultation app Doktr. The company announced the launch of Doktr, an innovative video teleconsultation service allowing patients with a basic primary care need to get in touch with a qualified doctor in a convenient and secure way.

A patient-centric approach is a way the healthcare systems can establish a partnership among practitioners, patients, and their families to align decisions with patients' wants, needs, and preferences. Patient centric health care app helps provide information and deliver services to patients regarding their health, thereby improving patient's health. It offers access to health information and easy connectivity between patients and doctors. Moreover, these apps help users to stay updated about medication times, number of calories consumed, dehydration level in body, etc. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for patient-centric healthcare around the world, driving the growth of the patient centric healthcare app market.

For instance, in May 2020, MyMedicNow launched a mobile healthcare app to bridge the gap between patients and doctors. The NEW app aims to help patients search for medical conditions and find related local healthcare providers quickly and efficiently. Moreover, the popularity of the patient centric healthcare apps has increased due to the increasing number of smartphone and the Internet users worldwide. The patient centric healthcare app market, in the Asia Pacific, is witnessing robust growth due to the increasing adoption of health apps, especially among women, and the increasing number of smartphone and the Internet users in the region.

For instance, in May 2019, health start-up, Vivant launched Nyra, a mobile application that can be used by women to track their period, fertility, ovulation, mood, lifestyle, physical activity, etc. Furthermore, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), with the growing internet penetration, internet users in India are expected to increase from 429.23 million as of September 2017 to 829 million by 2021. Some patient centric healthcare apps are used in management of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Thus, with the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, the demand for patient centric healthcare is also increasing. This in turn is also expected to propel the patient centric healthcare app market growth.
