Introduction
Datamonitor estimates that there are 307m people in the seven major markets with total cholesterol >200mg/dL and this is set to rise to 328m in 2011. However, despite this vast potential population, low diagnosis rates, the launch of generic statins and the maturing of the market mean that it is becoming increasingly important for companies to target the under-treated dyslipidemia sub-populations.

Scope


Highlights
Following recommendations from the American Diabetes Association, statins remain the first line therapy for diabetic dyslipidemia and findings from HPS and CARDS add to this evidence. However, some experts believe that results from DAIS and VA-HIT support the use of fibrates as the lipid-lowering agents of choice in diabetic dyslipidemics.

Although the use of combination therapy varies considerably across the seven major markets, this treatment strategy is becoming increasingly more common as treatment guidelines recommend more aggressive therapy in order to achieve lower target cholesterol goals and physicians remain reluctant to titrate statin doses.

For new anti-dyslipidemics to be successful, agents must have the potential to improve outcomes by improving efficacy, safety or both. Zetia and Crestor represent the newest therapies to be launched in the US and EU and, in general, the opinion leaders interviewed remain considerably more optimistic over the future uptake of Zetia than Crestor.
