DUBLIN , Nov. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "US Sickle Cell Disease - Market Insight, Epidemiology And Market Forecast - 2032" report has been added to
ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder characterized by abnormal hemoglobin, leading to complications such as chronic pain, organ damage, and increased susceptibility to infections. The primary cause of SCD is a mutation in the HBB gene, affecting hemoglobin production. Individuals with SCD inherit two copies of the mutated gene, leading to abnormal red blood cells that obstruct blood flow and cause sickle cell crises.
Treatment options for SCD include Hydroxyurea, NSAIDs, blood transfusions, chelating agents, nutritional supplements, and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Approved therapies include ENDARI (L-glutamine oral powder), ADAKVEO (crizanlizumab-tmca), and OXBRYTA (voxelotor). Promising investigational therapies include Exa-cel (Vertex Pharmaceuticals/CRISPR Therapeutics), Inclacumab (Global Blood Therapeutics/Pfizer), and Etavopivat (Forma Therapeutics/Novo Nordisk).
The total prevalent cases of SCD trait in the US were approximately 4,284,000 in 2022 and are projected to increase by 2032. The market for SCD in the US is estimated to be around USD 700 million in 2022.
Despite the complexities of SCD, advancements in treatment approaches and ongoing research efforts offer hope for improved management and potential cures. Enhancing healthcare services, raising awareness, and supporting individuals with SCD are essential steps toward addressing the challenges associated with this disease.
The "US Sickle Cell Disease Market Insight, Epidemiology, and Market Forecast - 2032" report offers extensive knowledge regarding epidemiology segments and predictions, providing insights into potential future growth in diagnosis rates, disease progression, and treatment guidelines.
