Organ Transplant Immunosuppressive Markets

Improved surgical techniques and organ preservation, understanding of immunologic barriers, and the development of newer and more potent immunosuppressives have combined to improve survival of transplant patients and grafts. Rejection remains the major barrier to long-term graft survival in patients, organ transplantation therapy is highly dependent on the success of immunosuppressants to suppress the recipient' s immune responses to the foreign organ.

Most transplant patients require lifelong immunosuppressive therapy to prevent rejection, except when human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical transplants are used. The number of organ transplants performed worldwide is approximately 70,000 annually. As medical science extends the life expectancy of patients with transplanted organs, demand continues to increase for safe, effective immunosuppressants to control transplant rejection.
