Gaucher’s Disease Insights: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Gaucher’s disease is an autosomal recessive disorder, mostly occurring due to genetic causes. When both the parents are the carriers of Gaucher’s mutated gene, it mostly gets inherited by the offspring .

Gaucher’s disease is due to the accumulation of certain fatty deposits in specific organs. The accumulation causes the enlargement of these organs and thus, affecting their normal function. Gaucher’s disease mainly affects the liver and spleen.

The fatty substances concentrate in bone tissue, which can eventually lead to bone weakening and bone fractures. The body’s clotting ability is also affected due to the build-up of fatty deposits in the bone marrow.

Majorly, there are three types of Gaucher’s disease, Type I, Type II, and Type III. The signs and symptoms vary according to the disease’s type. In some cases, patients experience minimal or very few symptoms. The most common symptoms are irregular abdominal pain, painful fractures, bone weakening, skeletal abnormalities, bruising, and blood disorders.

The people living in the Central European and Eastern Jewish ancestry are more susceptible to Gaucher’s disease. The diagnosis of Gaucher’s disease is made using blood tests, genetic analysis, and imaging tests. Magnetic resonance imaging and dual energy-ray absorptiometry are also used to assess the disease’s severity.

The therapeutic strategy depends on the type of patient, type of disease, and age of the patient. Oral use of medications, like MIglustat and Eliglustat, is the initial approach of healthcare providers. Enzyme replacement therapy, spleen removal, and bone marrow transplant are some surgical interventions for managing Gaucher’s disease.

According to the Gaucher’s disease treatment market research report, the market can be categorised into the following segments:

Gaucher’s Disease Treatment Market Scenario

The increase in the prevalence of the lysosomal disease is the key factor driving the growth of the market. Lysosomal disorders are inherited disorders caused by the abnormal accumulation of toxic chemicals in the body. Treatment strategies are required to eradicate the buildup of toxic substances, hence responsible for driving the market growth.

Gaucher’s disease treatment market is stimulated by the increased expenditure in the healthcare sector. The availability of raised funds by the government for research and development activities is also facilitating the market expansion. Gaucher’s syndrome susceptibility increase with age, and hence, the rising geriatric population can aid the growth of the market further.  

Additional factors, such as the increasing adoption rate of early diagnosis and management and surging initiatives and policies by the government, are also anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period.

North America and Asia Pacific to be the Leading Regional Markets

The North American regional market is projected to witness a significant share in Gaucher’s disease treatment market owing to the increased prevalence, rising R&D activities, and technological advancements.

The Asia Pacific region is one of the fastest growing regions among the regional markets. This growth is assisted by the continuous development in the healthcare sector and the rising prevalence of Gaucher’s disease.

Therapeutic Landscape

The treatment for complete eradication of Gaucher’s disease is yet to be discovered. Current treatment interventions aim to alleviate the disease symptoms and improve the quality of living standards. The primary aim is to eliminate the accumulation of fat deposits and alter the defective enzyme responsible for causing Gaucher’s disease.

Currently Available Treatment Strategies: Oral Medications, Enzyme Replacement Therapy, and Surgical Interventions

The treatment for Gaucher’s disease depends on the type and severity of the disease. Daily monitoring needs to be done by the healthcare provider to assess disease progression and complications.

The initial treatment is carried out by incorporating medications that can be administered orally. The drugs act on the fatty deposits and hinder the production of fatty substances, thus helping manage Gaucher’s disease. Zavesca and Cerdelga are approved medicines for the treatment of this disease.

Enzyme replacement therapy is the most efficient therapy with plausible therapeutic applications. In this therapy, the defective enzyme is replaced with novel artificial enzymes. The intravenous route of administration is preferably used for taking these specific enzymes. This therapy needs to be performed after every two weeks.

The severe symptoms call for surgical or invasive therapeutic interventions. The two main approaches in the surgical process are spleen removal and bone marrow transplant. The replacement of damaged blood-forming cells with healthy cells is carried out in bone marrow transplants. Spleen removal is generally done when no other treatment options are left.

The novel treatments under the pipeline will help improve healthcare and the global economy. These new treatment strategies will majorly drive the growth of the global Gaucher’s disease treatment market.

Clinical Trial Landscape

Extensive research and development in the healthcare sector have benefitted in better understanding and awareness of the disease. The clinical trials will help discover novel therapeutic strategies for Gaucher’s disease.

Emerging Technologies: Promising Novel Therapies

The trials incorporating the innovations in Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) are in the pipeline. Successful results will lead to the discovery of advanced ERT therapy that will be more efficient and economical.

Inculcation of advanced technologies in the diagnostic methods is anticipated to help in the early detection of disease. The novel neurodegeneration biomarkers are under evaluation, which seem promising in monitoring fatty deposits in the brain cells.

New oral medications are also in the developmental process and under clinical studies. Freeline Therapeutics, a leading key player, discovered a novel gene therapy product, FLT201, under Phase I/II clinical trial. The application of cell and gene therapy in Gaucher’s disease treatment is projected to have better prospects in the forecast period.

Implementing new technologies in healthcare has already provided enormous benefits to human health. Researchers’ tremendous efforts have anticipated a rapid increase in the approvals for intelligent therapies. Several ongoing clinical trials are emerging as a driving factor for market growth and development.
