Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: 13 biotech companies competing in the clinic

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is one of the more crowded fields on the map: 13 companies in the clinic, ranking it 3rd of 299 indications by competitor count. The median competitor is worth $607M, below the $1.20B median of the universe.

That gap is the crowding discount. When a field is deep the market pays less per company, because the same eventual revenue has to be split across more shots on goal.

3 of the 13 are in Phase 3 or filed, and 11 dated catalysts fall in the next 12 months, so this ranking is likely to move.

$12.8B of allocated capital sits in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, 7th of 299 indications, and 5 of the 13 companies are pure plays that trade on this indication alone.

Why Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a knife fight

Crowded and cheaply priced. Six or more competitors and a median company below the universe median.

The map splits indications on two folds: six or more competitors counts as crowded, and a median company above $1.20B counts as richly priced. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy has 13 competitors and a median of $607M.

Rare Genetic & Metabolic

Rare Genetic & Metabolic holds $103B of the map's capital, 15.3% of the total, spread across 32 indications and 48 companies. 10 of those indications have more than one company competing.

How this page is built

  • Universe is US-listed drug developers with a $100M to $20B market capitalisation, identified by SEC SIC code 2833, 2834 or 2836 or by a pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry classification, less a reviewed exclusion list of contract research organisations, device and diagnostics makers and diversified generics manufacturers.
  • An asset attributed to three or more different companies is treated as shared standard of care rather than any one company’s programme and excluded. Pembrolizumab alone appears under 21 tickers in raw trial data.
  • A programme counts only where at least one industry-sponsored trial supports it, so investigator-initiated academic studies of third-party drugs are excluded.

Allocated capital divides each company’s market capitalisation evenly across the indications it is running clinical programmes in, so every dollar of the universe is counted exactly once. Total market capitalisation competing counts a company in each of its indications and therefore sums to more than the universe.

Third-party market size estimates are not used anywhere on this page. Approved incumbents are excluded from competitor counts, and companies above $20B are outside the universe by construction.
