Description
Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Market size was valued at USD 2.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.09% from 2023-2029. Drastic reduction of total RBC count is called as anaemia. It is also defined as the inability of carrying the appropriate amounts of oxygen by blood. Sickle cell diseases are the type of blood disorders which are genetically inherited. Sickle-cell anaemia is the common type of SCD in which sickle-shaped cell is formed. Generally, sickle cell disease starts taking shape at the early age i.e., within a year after birth which leads to several health issues like attacks of pain which are also called as the sickle-cell crisis, limbs swelling, bacterial infections etc. Chronic pain can be developed along with the age. Sickle-cell diseases arise when an individual inherited by abnormal copies of Hg gene from each parent. Burgeoning prevalence of sickle cell disease has expected to drive the market. As per Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2016, about 100,000 individuals in U.S. are affected by the sickle cell diseases. Black or the African Americans are commonly more susceptible to sickle cell diseases. One in thirteen babies who belongs to the black race are born with SCD’s. Researchers have moved ahead to treat SCD by antibiotics to genome level. Researchers from the Stanford School of Medicine corrected the genes successfully which are carrying a gene for SCD and transplanted them with the healthy cells. With the help of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat technique (CRISPR), researchers have replaced the SCD cell genes with one which doesn’t carry those genes.
Key Developments:
In July 2017, Emmaus Medical Inc. Endari (L-glutamine oral powder) received U.S. FDA approval to treat the patients with age of five years and older having sickle cell disease
In 2016 Novartis AG acquired Selexys Pharmaceuticals in order to expand product offerings related to blood disorders and diseases
