JAK Inhibitors Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2024
Janus Kinase (JAK) is a family of intracellular, non-receptor tyrosine kinases that transduce cytokine-mediated signals via the JAK-STAT pathway. There are four JAK family members; JAK1, JAk2, JAk3, TYK2. The molecules that use the JAK/STAT signaling pathway are colony-stimulating factor, prolactin, growth hormone, and many cytokines. The mechanism of action (MOA) of the JAK inhibitors inhibitors involves the inhibition of one or more of the JAK enzymes, particularly JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, or TYK2. By blocking these enzymes, JAK inhibitors interfere with the signaling cascades triggered by cytokines, such as interleukins and interferons. When a cytokine binds to its respective receptor on the cell surface, it activates the associated JAK enzymes. The activated JAKs, in turn, phosphorylate (add a phosphate group to) specific signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins. These phosphorylated STATs then dimerize, translocate to the nucleus, and regulate gene expression.
By inhibiting JAK enzymes, JAK inhibitors prevent the phosphorylation of STAT proteins and their subsequent nuclear translocation. This interruption of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway leads to the inhibition of the expression of pro-inflammatory genes and the modulation of immune responses. JAK inhibitors are used in the treatment of blood coagulation disorder, lymphoma, autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, skin diseases, connective tissue diseases, neoplasms, etc. Increased prevalence of inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, and rising aging population, etc are the key drivers for the JAK inhibitor market. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 1.3% of US adults (3 million) reported being diagnosed with IBD; either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. The introduction of newer products by market players may look for opportunities that have a big impact on comprehensive research and development in JAK inhibitors. For instance, BMS launched the Sotyktu (Deucravacitinib) for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. Moreover, to address the difficulties in therapy, numerous market participants are developing innovative compounds. For instances, Incyte’s Itacitinib (INCB039110) for the indication of B cell lymphoma is under the various stages of clinical studies.

The molecules such as Rinvoq (Upadacitinib) developed by AbbVie for the line of treatment for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, adults with active psoriatic arthritis, moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in adults and children 12 years of age and older whose disease did not respond to previous treatment, moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, active ankylosing spondylitis, active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. Moreover, Bristol Myers Squibb’s Sotyktu (Deucravacitinib) tablets for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
