Pipeline Insight: Colorectal Cancer - Growing Trend Towards Personalized Medicine
Datamonitor, Oct 2009, Pages: 51
CRC incidence will be over 490,000 cases by 2018 in the seven major markets. This large patient base will translate into a high commercial potential for the development of novel, more effective therapies. Currently, there are 77 agents in development for CRC, 4 of which are in late-phase development. Collectively, they are forecast to achieve sales of $1,398m by 2018.
Scope
- Examination of the CRC pipeline with in-depth clinical and commercial profiles of Phase III candidates
- Seven major pharmaceutical market sales forecasts for Phase III pipeline products through to 2018
- Segmentation and analysis of the current CRC pipeline by developmental phase, drug class and company
- Insight and analysis of market potential including commercial opportunity, epidemiology and discussion of unmet needs
Highlights of this title
The CRC pipeline consists of 77 drugs, of which 60% are molecular targeted therapies (MTTs), 22% are immunotherapies, and 17% are cytotoxic therapies. MTTs constitute the bulk of the CRC pipeline. This is in line with R&D in other tumor types, where there is a shift away from standard cytotoxic therapies towards MTTs and personalized medicine.
The late-phase CRC pipeline consists only of MTTs. Except for one agent; all the others are being investigated in previously-treated patients. Drug developers appear to be pursuing approval for treatment in the second-line setting where barriers to market entry are lower and the high level of unmet need may facilitate a drug's uptake and approval.
Aflibercept (VEGF-Trap; Regeneron/Sanofi-Aventis) is forecast to achieve the highest level of sales among the late-phase pipeline candidates in the CRC market, generating £604m by 2018 in the seven major pharmaceutical markets.
Key reasons to purchase this title
- Identify key drugs and companies within the CRC pipeline based on sales forecasts to 2018 and Datamonitor drug assessment.
- Characterize unmet need and poorly served patient subsets within the CRC market and assess the potential for pipeline products to fulfil them.
- Segmentation and analysis of the current CRC pipeline by developmental phase, drug class, company and indication.
