Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) Overview
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), also known as tuberous sclerosis, is a rare genetic disease that causes non-cancerous (benign) tumors to grow in the brain and several areas of the body, including the spinal cord, nerves, eyes, lungs, heart, kidneys, and skin.
It is caused by genetic mutations in either the TSC1 or TSC2 gene. Only one of the genes needs to be affected for TSC to be present. A mutation of either one of these genes leads to abnormal development and exponential growth of cells within the body. The TSC1 gene produces a protein called hamartin.
Symptoms range from brain-related (seizures, mental disabilities), skin (white patches, rash, nodules), kidney (affected function), heart (benign tumors), and eye (lesions) to developmental and behavioral issues (learning disabilities, ASD, ADHD, aggression).
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) Diagnosis and Treatment Algorithm
Diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) relies on identifying characteristic symptoms, detailed patient and family history, thorough clinical evaluation, and specialized tests. Hypopigmented macules on the skin along with seizures or autism serve as diagnostic clues for tuberous sclerosis.
Treatment strategies for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) are tailored to address the symptoms and risks most relevant to the age of the patient and may include mTOR inhibitors such as AFINITOR (everolimus), and HYFTOR (sirolimus topical gel, and others. Regular surveillance and lifelong management are essential for patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) to minimize the impacts of the condition.

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) Market Outlook.
The market for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) treatments has seen significant growth in recent years, driven by increased awareness, advancements in medical technology, and emerging therapies. Currently, the focus of the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) market largely centers on symptom alleviation and enhancing patient quality of life with the use of anti-seizure drugs such as phenobarbital, phenytoin, clonazepam, and others. However, satisfactory relief is often not achieved with a single medication, necessitating a combination of treatment modalities is required. Despite the US FDA approvals for drugs such as AFINITOR (everolimus) and EPIDIOLEX (cannabidiol), which target seizures in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) patients, there's still a significant gap in treatments addressing the root cause of the disease and providing lasting benefits.
There persists a notable gap for more efficacious treatments addressing the root cause of the condition, offering sustained benefits over the long term. Thus, the demand for innovative therapies that not only manage symptoms but also target the underlying pathophysiology of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) remains a critical unmet need in the market, presenting significant opportunities for further research and development in this area.
However, some of the emerging treatments such as NPC-12Y gel (Nobel pharma), NOE-101 (Marinus pharmaceutical), and others hold promise in meeting this unmet need and represent opportunities for further research and development in the field.
