What New Trends Are Influencing the Fibrate Drugs Market?
Key players in the fibrate drugs market are striving to retain their market presence by developing innovative solutions like fixed-dose combinations. These combinations are pharmaceutical formulations that carry multiple active ingredients in one single dosage, promoting ease of administration and possibly better therapeutic results. For instance, in May 2023, US-based biopharmaceutical enterprise, Intercept Pharmaceuticals Inc. got the green light from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the orphan drug designation for the fixed-dose combination of obeticholic acid (OCA) and bezafibrate. This peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist combo is under research for the potential treatment of individuals with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). OCA, an agonist of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), is offered under the name Ocaliva by Intercept in the United States for PBC treatment. In contrast, Bezafibrate, a universal PPAR agonist is yet to receive approval in the US for any application.
