In this report, Technavio analysts highlight the effectiveness of existing drug therapies as a key factor contributing to the growth of the global acromegaly and gigantism drugs market:

Effectiveness of existing drug therapies

There are several pharmacological drugs avilable for the treatment of acromegaly and gigantism. A major class of drugs includes somatostatin analogs as the standard medical therapy for acromegaly either as first-line therapy when surgery is not possible or ineffective. Lanreotide and octreotide are first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands (SRL), and as per the NIH, SRLs are effective in approximately 20%-70% of individuals. The GH receptor antagonist has also shown good effectiveness, as per the NIH, pegvisomant, a GH receptor antagonist has been found effective in 65%-90% of cases. A subset of individuals who do not respond to both these therapeutic class of drugs require other treatment options.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for infectious and rare diseases research, "Drug combination therapy can achieve more efficacious disease control. However, development of new medical therapy remains essential. The effectiveness of available drug classes either as a monotherapy or in combination with each other is driving the market growth."
