The Insulinoma Market is expected to reach USD 5,632.6 Million by 2030 at 6.9% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030.Insulinoma is a rare form of tumour of the beta cells of pancreas resulting in an excessive secretion of insulin, leading to hypoglycaemia. Most insulinomas are benign, however a few metastasize. The symptoms of insulinoma are hypoglycaemia and associated symptoms such as blurred vision, lethargy, diplopia, light headedness, and convulsions, unconsciousness, which can also be life-threatening. Severe hypoglycemia may result in seizures, coma, and permanent neurological damage. Symptoms such as palpitations, tachycardia, sweating, hunger, anxiety etc. are caused by catecholaminergic response to hypoglycaemia triggered by insulinomas.
Insulinomas occur in people between the ages of 40 and 60 and grow slowly. The exact causes of insulinoma are unknown, however, patients with multiple endocrine neplasia type 1 syndrome or von Hippel-Landau syndrome are more at risk. According to a cancer research, 10% of insulinomas are cancerous and approximately 10% of patients diagnosed with insulinoma have more than one tumour. Insulinomas affect between up to five people out of one million each year.
Surgery is the definitive treatment for insulinomas and 90% of patients are cured of the condition. However, surgery can cause diabetes if significant amount of the pancreas are removed. The development of minimal invasive surgery procedures such as laparoscopy has resulted in replacement of open pancreatomy which was once the gold standard of treatment. The market constraints are lack of awareness, misdiagnosis of the disease, risk of surgery, high cost of treatment etc.
March 2021: Zealand Pharma A/S, a biotechnology company that aims to bring innovation to the market through the development of innovative peptide therapeutics, announced today that the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Zegalogue® (dasiglucagon) injection for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia in pediatric and adult patients with diabetes aged 6 years and older. This sanction will facilitate the ability of suitable children and adults with diabetes to manage sudden and severe hypoglycemia, which can rapidly escalate from a mild occurrence to an emergency. The clinical significance of the extent and consistency of the effect observed in the Phase 3 pivotal studies is underscored by the fact that minutes are crucial in severe hypoglycemia. Zegalogue resolved severe hypoglycemia after administration, with a median time to blood glucose recovery of 10 minutes in these clinical studies. A critical drop in blood glucose levels, which is predominantly associated with insulin therapy, is the cause of severe hypoglycemia, an acute, life-threatening condition that is one of the most feared complications of diabetes treatment. The prevalence of severe hypoglycemia among children under the age of 18 is particularly high, with 7 out of 100 children diagnosed with diabetes on insulin reporting such episodes within the past six months. Although patients have the capacity to monitor and adjust their blood glucose levels to maintain appropriate glycemic control, it is not always feasible to prevent a severe hypoglycemic event.
July 2021: Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company that utilizes its innovative formulation technology platforms to create and market injectable and infusible drug formulations that are ready to use, announced that Gvoke HypoPen™ (glucagon injection) is now available by prescription in the United States for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia in adults and children with diabetes aged 2 years and older. The Gvoke HypoPen is the first premixed autoinjector that is ready to use and does not have a visible needle. It contains glucagon. Xeris is dedicated to guaranteeing that patients have access to this significant new development. Using the Gvoke® copay savings card, eligible commercially insured patients may pay as little as $0 for a two-pack of Gvoke HypoPen for a limited time. Additionally, Xeris provides a Patient Assistance Program to assist individuals who meet the eligibility criteria for Gvoke.
