Pneumococcal Vaccines Market

Pneumococcal disease is a common and often mild infection that includes conditions such as middle ear infection, a blood infection, pneumonia, and bacterial meningitis. However, the disease can sometimes result in severe and fatal health problems. Pneumococcal vaccines offer protection against streptococcus pneumonia, which is a causative agent. The vaccine is available in two types as conjugate vaccine and polysaccharide vaccine. Pneumococcal vaccines are administered through intramuscular route. Conjugate vaccines are administered to infants, while polysaccharide vaccines are effective in healthy adults.

Market Dynamics

Pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to invest in production of new vaccines, owing to very less returns. Therefore, vendors are focused on joining Advance Market Commitment (AMC), an innovative financing program. Under AMC, international agencies pay a premium above the incremental production cost for initial doses sold to emerging economies in exchange of continuous supply of vaccines from vendors at sustainable prices for long term.

For instance, in April 2018, Merck & Co., Inc., which is also known as MSD outside of the U.S. and Canada, started two Phase 3 studies of PCV-15 (V114), an investigational polyvalent conjugate vaccine for the prevention of pneumococcal disease. The company initiated follow-up programmes with the vaccine, looking at different adult age groups, neonatal immunization, and childhood immunization. This vaccine, when launched, would compete with Pfizer’s established pneumococcal vaccine known as Prevnar-13.

Moreover, in September 2018, Pfizer received Breakthrough Therapy designation (BTD) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its 20-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (20vPnC) candidate, PF-06482077 and got a competitive advantage with Merck & Co to bring a new-generation pneumococcal vaccine to the U.S. market. This proposed vaccine candidate is indicated for the prevention of invasive disease and pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes in adults aged 18 years and older. The U.S.FDA also granted fast-track status for PF-06482077 in 2017.
