Endocarditis Market

Key Highlights

• Endocarditis is likely to grow due to aging populations, increased healthcare-associated infections, and higher rates of intravenous drug use. Improved diagnostic techniques also contribute to higher reported incidence rates.
• Market dynamics are shifting with increased focus on preventative measures, early diagnosis, and multidisciplinary management approaches. Emphasis on antimicrobial stewardship and infection control measures impacts treatment protocols and healthcare expenditure.
• Older adults are disproportionately affected by endocarditis due to age-related changes in the heart valves and increased prevalence of comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes. However, younger individuals engaging in high-risk behaviors like intravenous drug use also contribute to the disease burden.
• Infective endocarditis is more common, often affecting individuals with pre-existing heart conditions, prosthetic valves, or a history of intravenous drug use. Its incidence is attributed to bacteremia from dental procedures, genitourinary infections, and other sources, leading to valve endothelial damage and subsequent infection.

Endocarditis Overview

Endocarditis is a rare but serious condition characterized by inflammation of the inner lining of the heart chambers and valves (endocardium). It typically occurs when bacteria or other infectious agents enter the bloodstream and attach to damaged areas of the heart, forming vegetations that can lead to the formation of small clots. These clots can break loose and travel through the bloodstream, causing embolisms in various organs, including the brain, lungs, and kidneys.

Endocarditis often affects individuals with underlying heart conditions, such as congenital heart defects, rheumatic heart disease, or prosthetic heart valves, although it can also occur in otherwise healthy individuals. Common risk factors include a history of heart surgery, intravenous drug use, dental procedures, or infections elsewhere in the body.

Symptoms of endocarditis can vary widely but may include fever, chills, fatigue, joint pain, and unexplained weight loss. In some cases, patients may experience more severe symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or neurological deficits if complications like heart failure or stroke occur. Early recognition and prompt treatment are essential to prevent serious complications and improve outcomes for individuals with endocarditis.

Endocarditis Diagnosis and Treatment Algorithm 

Diagnosing endocarditis requires a comprehensive approach involving medical history review, physical examination, and various diagnostic tests. Initial evaluation includes assessing for symptoms such as fever, new or changing heart murmurs, and evidence of systemic embolization. Blood cultures are crucial for identifying the causative organism, with multiple sets collected to enhance sensitivity. Imaging studies such as echocardiography (transthoracic and transesophageal) aid in detecting vegetations on heart valves or intracardiac devices, assessing valve function, and detecting complications like abscesses or fistulas. Laboratory tests, including inflammatory markers like erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), help support the diagnosis and monitor disease activity.

Treatment of endocarditis involves a multidisciplinary approach with input from infectious disease specialists, cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons. Antibiotic therapy is the cornerstone, tailored to the identified pathogen's susceptibility profile and the presence of complications such as valve dysfunction or abscess formation. Current drugs like vancomycin (MoA: inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis) and gentamicin (MoA: inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis) are commonly used.

Key Findings

• Infective endocarditis appears to be approximately twice as common in men as women due to risk factors, behavior, healthcare-seeking patterns, and hormonal and biological differences.
• Endocarditis is an uncommon infection in the US; over 25% of cases affect people aged 60 years or above.
• In a study it was found that majority (60%) were male, and more than a third (36.4%) were aged 70 and above. In a study it was found that majority (60%) were male, and more than a third (36.4%) were aged 70 and above.

Endocarditis Market Outlook

The primary treatment goal for endocarditis is to eradicate the causative pathogen, resolve infection-related complications, and prevent recurrence while preserving cardiac function and minimizing the risk of long-term sequelae such as valve damage or systemic embolization.

One of the promising current drug is Vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic, which is a cornerstone of endocarditis treatment. Its mechanism of action involves binding to the D-Ala-D-Ala terminus of bacterial cell wall precursors, thereby inhibiting cell wall synthesis and causing cell lysis. Vancomycin is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and coagulase-negative staphylococci, common pathogens implicated in endocarditis.

Treating Endocarditis presents numerous challenges due to the complexity of the condition, the urgency for quick diagnosis, and uncertainties in management. Despite progress in diagnostics and therapy, prognosis remains bleak, with a recent increase in global cases. Challenges include high mortality, reliance on multidisciplinary teams for timely diagnosis, and uncertainty regarding optimal surgical timing or antibiotic prophylaxis. Swift and well-coordinated responses are crucial to enhance outcomes for patients with Endocarditis.

With ongoing research and continued dedication, the future holds hope for even more effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for this challenging condition. According to DelveInsight, the Endocarditis market in the 7MM is expected to change significantly during the study period 2020–2034.

Emerging Endocarditis Drugs

The Endocarditis market is expected to experience gradual changes, mainly due to the limited availability of emerging therapies in this area. Key market players, including Basilea Pharmaceutica and others have demonstrated a keen interest in this rare condition and are actively pursuing the development of potential treatments.

Ceftobiprole: Basilea Pharmaceutica

Ceftobiprole, developed by Basilea Pharmaceutica, is a novel antibiotic designed to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. It belongs to the cephalosporin class, targeting a broad spectrum of bacteria, including MRSA. Its mechanism involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, crucial for bacterial survival. Ceftobiprole has shown efficacy in treating complicated skin and soft tissue infections and pneumonia. Its potential lies in addressing the growing threat of antibiotic resistance, offering hope for improved treatment options. In April 2024, the US FDA approved New Drug Application (NDA) for ceftobiprole for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB), including right-sided infective endocarditis, acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and also for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP).
