Peroxisomes are the membrane-bound organelles present in the eukaryotic cells except erythrocytes with highest concentration in the liver and kidney. They are involved in catalyzing various catabolic and anabolic functions in cellular metabolism. Peroxisome disorders are autosomal recessive disorders that occurs due to malfunctioning in peroxisome biosynthesis, assembly, and associated biochemical functions.
It is estimated that 1 in 20,000 individuals in North America are affected by peroxisomal disorders. X-ALD is the most common peroxisomal disorder occurring in 1 out of 20,000 males in the U.S. Next to this, is the Zellweger syndrome occurring in early infancy which has an incidence rate of 1 out of 50,000 in the U.S. This disorder occurs in all countries, among all races and ethnic groups.
There is not any specific treatment available for the cure of peroxisomal disorders. Rather, several symptomatic treatments are available such as FDA approved cholic acid medication which helps in with trteating liver disease, weight gain, and vitamin absorption.
Other than this; daily multivitamin, steroid or anti-seizure medication may be given as part of the treatment. Peroxisomal disorders treatment depends on the disorder type, age of onset, and the progression rate. There are several risks and benefits associated with the available therapies. Generally, multiple therapies and full care is given to the child for its survival. Along with this, several palliative care is also provided for survival assistance to these patients.
As specific peroxisomal disorders treatment is not available for curing the disease, this drives the market of several medications for symptomatic treatment. Clinical trials run be various research institutes and companies for the treatment of rare genetic disorders also supports the market growth. Unavailability of specific treatment for this particular rare disease is the biggest restraint of peroxisomal disorders treatment market.
Furthermore, the survival rate of children with this disorder is very less which also restricts the market for its treatment. Very few research activities are going on in this direction which further slowdown the market progress for peroxisomal disorders treatment.
