Research
and Markets has announced the addition of the "Nanoparticle Drug Delivery"
report to their offering.
Advances in nanotechnology that enable drugs to be delivered in ways that preserve
their efficacy and to precise therapeutic targets are creating a host of opportunities
for drug developers. A variety of nanostructures are being investigated as functional
drug carriers for a wide range of therapies, most notably cardiovascular medicine,
autoimmune diseases, and cancer. While the concept of nanoparticles in drug
delivery is not new, the number of research programs and active drug development
projects has escalated as funding to nanotechnology developers has increased.
The result is the emergence of a host of novel nanotechnologies tailored to
meet the physicochemical requirements of drug developers. Nanoparticles have
already improved the availability and efficacy of some drugs, and the capabilities
that evolving technologies possess will leads to a dramatic increase in the
number of therapies delivered via nanoparticles
The study presents qualitative and quantitative data and information on key
demand factors and trends:
- Nanoparticle Technology Competitive Assessment
- Nanoparticle Drug Development Factors
- Near-Term Nano-Drug Disease Therapies
- Nanoparticle Technology Commercialization Issues
- Technology-driven Performance Factors
- Opportunity Assessment and Factors Limiting Growth
- Drug Design and Development Factors
- Sector Participant Profiles
