바이러스 감염 후 질병 부담 증가
코로나19 팬데믹 이후 만성 후각 및 미각 장애가 현저히 증가하고 있으며, 후각 기능 장애는 가장 흔한 지속성 코로나 후유증 중 하나가 되었습니다. 대부분의 환자는 회복되지만, 발표된 연구에 따르면 소수이긴 하나 임상적으로 중요한 환자 집단에서 장기적인 기능 장애(6-12개월 이상)가 발생하고 있으며, 팬데믹 이전 수준에 비해 만성 질환 환자 수가 증가하고 있습니다.
진단 건수와 임상적 인식의 향상
코로나19 이후 선별 검사 및 이비인후과 평가 방법의 개선으로 인해, 후각 장애가 이전보다 더 자주 발견되고 있습니다. 객관적인 후각 검사를 통해 실제 유병률이 자가 보고 사례보다 높은 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 전 세계적으로 임상적 인지도와 진단률이 향상되고 있습니다.
만성 후각 및 미각 장애의 개요와 진단
후각 기능 장애(OD) 및 미각 기능 장애는 냄새나 맛을 인지하는 능력이 저하되거나 왜곡되는 것을 특징으로 하는 감각 장애입니다. 이러한 증상들은 특히 유럽에서 후각 상실(무후각증)이나 후각 감퇴(후각 저하)가 일반적인 초기 증상으로 나타났던 코로나19 팬데믹 기간 동안 큰 주목을 받았습니다. 미각 감퇴, 미각 이상, 환미, 무미증 등의 미각 장애는 바이러스 감염, 신경학적 손상, 자가면역 질환 및 환경적 요인과 관련이 있습니다. 주요 이비인후과학회는 화학적 감각 기능 장애를 코로나19의 중요한 지표로 인식하고 있습니다. 신경 경로가 공통적이기 때문에 후각 장애는 종종 미각 장애를 동반하며, 그 정도는 부분적인 상실부터 완전한 기능 장애에 이르기까지 다양합니다.
진단 과정에서는 병력 청취, 신체 검사, 심리물리학적 검사를 포함한 이비인후과적 평가가 이루어지며, 필요에 따라 영상 진단(CT/MRI)을 통해 구조적 또는 신경학적 원인을 규명함으로써 정확한 진단과 표적 치료가 가능해집니다.
만성 후각 및 미각 장애의 현재 치료 현황
후각 장애에 대한 치료 선택지는 제한적이며, 주로 근본 원인이 되는 비강 병변과 관련된 경우에 효과적입니다. 주요 치료법으로는 코르티코스테로이드와 외과적 시술이 있습니다. 미각 장애의 경우, 코르티코스테로이드, 비타민 A, 침 치료의 유효성을 입증하는 근거는 부족하지만, 아연 글루코네이트(1일 140mg, 약 3개월간)는 특발성 미각 장애에 있어 일정한 효과가 확인되었습니다.
작열성 구강 증후군(BMS)의 경우, 삼환계 항우울제(아미트립틸린, 이미프라민)나 벤조디아제핀계 약물(클로나제팜, 디아제팜)이 증상 완화에 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 전반적으로 볼 때, 현재의 치료법은 여전히 제한적이며, 후각 및 미각 장애에 대해 더 높은 효능이 입증된 치료법의 필요성이 부각되고 있습니다.
만성 후각 및 미각 장애의 역학 분석 및 예측에 관한 주요 조사 결과
현재 FDA 승인을 받은 질환 수정 요법은 존재하지 않기 때문에 만성 후각 및 미각 장애 시장은 여전히 비약물 요법이나 지지 요법에 크게 의존하고 있습니다. 비강 내 코르티코스테로이드 등의 보조 요법은 염증성 질환이나 부비동 질환을 기저 질환으로 가진 환자에게는 유익할 수 있지만, 진정한 신경상피 손상의 경우에는 그 유효성이 제한적입니다. 지지 요법에 더해, 파이프라인은 근본적인 신경 기능 장애의 해소를 목적으로 하는 재생 요법 및 신경 기능 회복 요법으로 점차 전환되고 있습니다. 개발이 가장 진전된 후보 약물인 CYR-064(Cyrano Therapeutics사)는 바이러스 감염 후 발생하는 후각 저하에서 후각 기능 회복을 촉진하기 위해, 환상 뉴클레오티드 신호 전달 경로를 표적으로 하는 임상시험 중인 비강 내 치료법입니다. 이 후보 약물은 2상 임상시험을 완료했으며, 양호한 안전성과 예비적인 유효성 징후가 확인되어 3상 개발 단계로 진행될 것으로 기대되고 있습니다.
CYR-064가 후기 개발 단계로 진입함에 따라 경쟁 구도가 형성될 것으로 예상되며, 예측 기간 후반에는 만성 후각 기능 장애에 대한 최초의 표적 약물 요법으로 자리매김할 가능성이 있습니다.
신경 재생을 목적으로 하는 비강 내 요법: CYR-064(Cyrano Therapeutics사) 등의 표적 요법에서는 포스포디에스테라제(PDE) 억제제를 비강 내 투여함으로써, 환상 뉴클레오티드 신호 전달(cAMP/cGMP)을 강화하고, 후각 뉴런의 회복과 상피 재생을 촉진합니다. 이러한 치료법은 혁신의 중요한 분야로서, 파이프라인의 초기 개발을 촉진하는 동시에 만성 후각 기능 장애에 대한 질병 수정 치료 전략으로의 전환을 시사하고 있습니다.

Key Factors Driving the Chronic Smell and Flavor Loss Market
Rising Post-Viral Disease Burden
Chronic smell and flavor loss have increased significantly following the COVID-19 pandemic, which has made olfactory dysfunction one of the most common persistent post-viral symptoms. While most patients recover, published studies indicate a smaller but clinically relevant subset develops long-term dysfunction (>6-12 months), expanding the chronic disease pool compared with pre-pandemic levels.
Increasing Diagnosis and Clinical Awareness
Olfactory disorders are now more frequently recognized due to post-COVID screening and improved ENT evaluation practices. Objective smell testing has revealed that true prevalence is higher than self-reported cases, increasing clinical visibility and diagnosis rates globally.
Chronic Smell and Flavor Loss Overview and Diagnosis
Olfactory dysfunction (OD) and gustatory dysfunction are sensory disorders characterized by reduced or distorted perception of smell and taste. They gained major attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, where anosmia and hyposmia were common early symptoms, particularly in Europe. Gustatory impairments such as hypogeusia, dysgeusia, phantogeusia, and ageusia are linked to viral infections, neurological damage, autoimmune conditions, and environmental factors. Leading ENT bodies recognize chemosensory dysfunction as a key indicator of COVID-19. Due to shared neural pathways, olfactory damage often results in concurrent taste dysfunction, ranging from partial loss to complete impairment.
Diagnosis involves ENT evaluation with clinical history, physical examination, and psychophysical testing, supported by imaging (CT/MRI) when needed to identify structural or neurological causes, enabling accurate diagnosis and targeted management.
Current Chronic Smell and Flavor Loss Treatment Landscape
Treatment options for smell disorders are limited and mainly effective when related to underlying nasal pathology, with corticosteroids and surgical interventions as primary approaches. For taste disorders, evidence for corticosteroids, vitamin A, and acupuncture is weak, though zinc gluconate (140 mg/day for ~3 months) has shown some benefit in idiopathic dysgeusia.
In burning mouth syndrome (BMS), tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, imipramine) and benzodiazepines (clonazepam, diazepam) may provide symptomatic relief. Overall, current therapies remain limited, highlighting the need for better validated treatment options for olfactory and gustatory disorders.

Chronic Smell and Flavor Loss Pipeline Analysis
CYR-064: Cyrano Therapeutics
CYR-064, developed by Cyrano Therapeutics, is a novel intranasal therapy aimed at restoring olfactory and gustatory function in patients with chronic sensory loss. The formulation leverages phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors delivered directly to the nasal cavity to target underlying mechanisms of smell and flavor impairment. In these conditions, disruption of signaling pathways, particularly those involving adenylyl cyclase III and cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP), can reduce growth factor release and impair stem cell activity within the olfactory epithelium. By increasing local levels of cAMP and cGMP, PDE inhibition may help reactivate these pathways and support functional recovery of olfactory neurons.
CYR-064 is currently in Phase II clinical development for hyposmia, where the study successfully met its primary safety endpoint and key prespecified secondary efficacy endpoints, supporting its planned progression into Phase III development in H2 2026.
Chronic Smell and Flavor Loss Key Players, Market Leaders, and Emerging Companies
Chronic Smell and Flavor Loss Drug Updates
The chronic smell and flavor loss market remains largely dependent on non-pharmacological and supportive interventions, as no FDA-approved disease-modifying therapies are currently available. Adjunctive therapies such as intranasal corticosteroids may provide benefit in patients with underlying inflammatory or sinonasal conditions; however, their efficacy is limited in cases of true neuroepithelial damage. Beyond supportive care, the pipeline is gradually evolving toward regenerative and neuro-restorative therapies aimed at addressing underlying neuronal dysfunction. The most advanced candidate, CYR-064 (Cyrano Therapeutics), is an investigational intranasal therapy targeting cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways to promote recovery of olfactory function in post-viral hyposmia. The asset has completed Phase II clinical evaluation, demonstrating favorable safety and preliminary efficacy signals, and is expected to progress into Phase III development.
The advancement of CYR-064 into late-stage development is expected to shape the competitive landscape, with potential to establish the first targeted pharmacologic option for chronic olfactory dysfunction during the latter part of the forecast period.
Drug Class/Insights into Leading Emerging and Marketed Therapies in Chronic Smell and Flavor Loss (2022-2036 Forecast)
The chronic smell and flavor loss market (2022-2036 forecast period) is gradually evolving toward regenerative, neuro-restorative, and disease-modifying approaches, with increasing focus on therapies that target underlying olfactory epithelial damage and neuronal dysfunction. The current pipeline reflects a shift from supportive management toward mechanism-based interventions aimed at restoring sensory function rather than providing symptomatic relief.
Neuro-regenerative intranasal therapies: Targeted approaches such as CYR-064 (Cyrano Therapeutics) utilize intranasal delivery of phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors to enhance cyclic nucleotide signaling (cAMP/cGMP), supporting olfactory neuron recovery and epithelial regeneration. These therapies represent a key area of innovation, driving early pipeline development and signaling a transition toward disease-modifying treatment strategies in chronic olfactory dysfunction.
