Leukemia - A Therapeutic & Competitive Insight
Bioseeker, Oct 2006, Pages: 127
Leukemia includes a broad variety of histological separate disorders which make the leukemia market segmented. And even though a high level of unmet medical need, together with its dependence on chemotherapy, leukemia has not historically been the focus of significant R&D investment for emerging drugs in the pharmaceutical industry.
This has now clearly changed with the launch of Novartis’ Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), which is presenting the industry with proof that development within the leukemia market produces lucrative returns. Gleevec saw sales rise 32 percent to $2.2 billion during 2005. Consequently, the historical general conception that relatively low prevalence diseases, has been insufficient in size to allow companies to quickly regain their investment is clearly out of date. In this perspective enhanced development is expected.
Research and analysis highlights
In the report 'Leukemia - A Therapeutic & Competitive Insight' The author does not only describe and analyze the latest years of progress in four different market segments; CLL, CML ALL and AML, but also provide a insight and framework to understand the complex field of leukemia therapeutics. In this report, we provide one of the most comprehensive coverage of the R&D trends to set the future leukemia marketplace. The author presents both an overview and a detailed description on the progress of key drugs in Phase III and II development, together with general descriptions on drugs and targets. We have identified 85 drug candidates in phase II or III stage of development and more than 50 companies are involved in the development of these drugs. Among these drugs we clearly see substantial progress while others have failed. There will be a more intense competition in several of the leukemic sub-markets and current treatments will be changed for the benefit of more innovative therapies.
