The acute repetitive seizure is a
condition that occurs in patients with drug-refractory epilepsy. It is
also known as cluster seizure, seizure flurry, breakthrough seizure,
seizure cluster, serial seizure, or prolonged seizure. The acute
repetitive seizure is characterized by the occurrence of seizures within
short intervals, which could be within hours or even a few minutes. The
frequency of occurrence of these seizures depends upon the type of
epilepsy such as mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and the patient
characteristics. Three catamenial seizures occur within two premenstrual
days in women with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Rectal gels and nasal
sprays are used for the management of acute repetitive seizures.
The global acute repetitive seizures
market can be segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe,
Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America
is projected to account for the largest market share during the
forecast period. The acute repetitive seizures market in the region is
driven by an increase in the number of pharmaceutical companies engaged
in new drug development and rise in prevalence of epileptic seizures. In
September 2018, Neurelis, Inc., a pharmaceutical company based in San
Diego, the U.S., submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) with the FDA for
VALTOCO as a treatment for epilepsy patients with acute repetitive
seizures. The acute repetitive seizures market in Europe is anticipated
to grow at a rapid pace from 2018 to 2026 due to rise in investment in
research and development in the field of neurology, increase in funds
offered by the government, and surge in demand for medications for
epilepsy. The market in the Asia Pacific is expected to expand at the
fastest CAGR during the forecast period driven by rising in awareness
about the treatment of neurological disorders and increase in demand for
new drug formulations for treating serious conditions in neurology.
Key players operating in the global acute repetitive seizures market are UCB S.A., Neurelis, Inc., Alexza Pharmaceuticals, and Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America LLC.
