Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Market
- In December 2023, Catalyst Pharmaceuticals announced that its collaboration partner, DyDo Pharma, has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) seeking marketing approval for FIRDAPSE (amifampridine) for the treatment of Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) in Japan.
- In 2022, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded the approval of FIRDAPSE (amifampridine) to include patients 6 years of age and older with Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome. Previously, the treatment had been approved for adults with Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome.
- In February 2022, the FDA has withdrawn approval for RUZURGI, that was granted by the US FDA in May 2019 for treating LEMS in patients 6 to <17 years of age. Previously, in June 2019 Catalyst brought suit against the FDA, challenging the FDA’s approval of RUZURGI stating that it violated the orphan-drug exclusivity (ODE) for FIRDAPSE. In 2022, the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit sided with Catalyst, therefore, the FDA had to withdraw approval for RUZURGI. Due to the 7-year ODE for FIRDAPSE, RUZURGI may not be approved for marketing until ODE expire on November 28, 2025.
- Presently there are no approved therapies of LEMS in Japan.

Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Treatment Market: Understanding and Algorithm
Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body's tissues. The attack occurs at the connection between nerve and muscle (the neuromuscular junction) and interferes with the ability of nerve cells to send signals to muscle cells. Specifically, the immune system attacks the calcium channels on nerve endings that are required to trigger the release of chemicals (acetylcholine). There are two types of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, paraneoplastic, in which the disease is associated with cancer, and non-paraneoplastic with no known underlying cause.
The presence of clinical features such as proximal muscle weakness associated with areflexia and autonomic dysfunction should prompt an evaluation for Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome. The diagnosis of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome is often difficult if the disease is not suspected since weakness in the legs with or without arm weakness and fatigue are common complaints in general. The diagnosis is more likely to be suspected in people with cancer. Often, the initial suspected diagnosis is myasthenia gravis (MG), due to an overlap in symptoms. The presence of a dry mouth is also a helpful clue. The diagnosis of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome can be confirmed by the presence of antibodies against P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) along with electro diagnostic studies. If a diagnosis of Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome is confirmed, a CT scan is obtained to look for small-cell lung cancer. If negative, a PET-CT is considered. If negative, follow-up chest CTs are recommended for up to five years to monitor for underlying cancer.
The Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome report provides an overview of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome pathophysiology, and diagnostic approaches along with a real-world scenario of a patient’s journey beginning from the first symptom, the time taken for diagnosis to the entire treatment process.
Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Treatment
There is no cure for Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome and symptomatic treatments for neuromuscular weakness that results from Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome are favored. Medications and therapies that may be used to treat Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome include 3, 4-diamino pyridine (enhances acetylcholine release), anticholinesterase agents (e.g., pyridostigmine), plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), and medications that suppress the immune system (e.g., prednisone, azathioprine).
Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Epidemiology
The Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented as Total Prevalent Cases of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, Total Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, Type-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome by Malignancy in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain)and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.
- Among 7MM, the United States accounted for the highest number of prevalent cases in 2023.
- Amongst EU4 and the UK, Germany had the highest number of prevalent cases of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome followed by France and the UK. On the other hand, Spain had the lowest prevalent cases in 2023.
- Based on the etiology, Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome is divided into two types; paraneoplastic and idiopathic.
- Among the two forms, the paraneoplastic form constitutes more than half of the cases and is mostly associated with intrathoracic neoplasms. Most of the cases Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome were seen with small cell lung cancer, other subtypes of lung cancer are extremely rare.

Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Emerging Drugs
The Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome pipeline is not robust as there is no drug under clinical trials for the development process.
Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Market Outlook
Currently, there is no cure for Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, and treatment is mainly symptomatic. This includes 3, 4-diamino pyridine phosphate (DAP), which is usually well-tolerated and effective. In some patients, the combination of pyridostigmine with 3, 4-diaminopyridine phosphate has been suggested to have an additional positive effect. If symptomatic treatment is insufficient, immunosuppressive therapy with prednisone, alone or in combination with azathioprine, can achieve long-term control of the disorder. Plasmapheresis and high-dose administration of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) have a short effect. An effective treatment against any tumor present is mandatory, both to control the tumor and to improve the clinical symptoms of Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome. One-half of the patients suffering from LEMS have an idiopathic form, the other half a tumor-associated form of the disease. In general, LEMS responds well to symptomatic and immunosuppressive treatments.
So far, the FDA had approved two medications for Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, i.e., FIRDAPSE and RUZURGI. However, RUZURGI was withdrawn by the FDA in 2022. The FDA’s approval of FIRDAPSE is a potentially transformative milestone in the lives of patients in the US suffering from Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, as it now gives adult Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome patients access to a new first-in-class-therapy. FIRDAPSE is approved in the US and the European Union for use by patients with Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome.
- The Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Market Size shall grow during the forecast period owing to the increased awareness among patients, updated diagnosis and treatment guidelines, and growth in the diseased population.
- Among 7MM, the United States accounts for the largest Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Market Size in 2023.
- The current Lambert–Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Market Size is mainly dependent on symptomatic treatment regimens.
- Given the absence of therapies available in Japan for this rare neuromuscular disorder, it is believed that if approved, FIRDAPSE holds the potential to be a novel treatment option for Japanese individuals grappling with this condition.
