Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma - Opportunity Analysis and Forecast to 2026
Summary
The recent surge in investment in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) has resulted in an innovative pipeline. Because it is an area with high unmet need and little competition, pharmaceutical companies of varying sizes are attempting to capture their own share of this potentially lucrative market.
There are currently no known biomarkers for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) that can reliably predict patient response to drug treatment. This is expected to become an important issue as expensive immunotherapies are increasingly incorporated into the Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) treatment algorithm. Predictive biomarkers will become especially important as the cost of treatment is increasingly becoming an issue for payers. With the controversially high cost of new cancer therapies, there is a greater need for better patient screening in order to identify patients who are most likely to respond to, and who would benefit the most from, targeted therapies.
While the pipeline agents under investigation are expected to address the main unmet needs in the Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) space by decreasing the toxicity of current regimens for rmHNSCC and reducing the risk of recurrence in LA-HNSCC patients, KOLs reported a substantial unmet need for the identification of new druggable targets. Understanding the molecular or genetic basis for disease development would do much to improve patient care by helping developers to identify new druggable targets and helping physicians to identify patients who are more likely to benefit from specific treatments
Researchers expect that total Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) market is expected to experience significant growth between 2016 and 2026; with drug sales in the seven major markets (7MM: US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and Japan) will increase to $3.6B in 2026, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20.1%.
The main growth drivers will be attributed to the incorporation of immune-checkpoint inhibitors into the first-line recurrent/metastatic and locally-advanced disease treatment paradigms. Due to the high cost of immunotherapy regimens, this is expected to cause large growth within the head and neck cancer market.
