Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Competitive Landscape to 2026

Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Competitive Landscape to 2026

Summary

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer. It is the sixth most common type of cancer, accounts for around 90% of primary liver cancers, and is third most common cause of cancer mortality. Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is particularly aggressive and has a poor survival rate (five-year survival < 5%) and therefore remains an important public health issue worldwide.

In Asia and Africa, factors for development include Hepatitis B and C infection, aflatoxin exposure (from crops), liver cirrhosis and hemochromatosis, while in developed countries, factors for development include diabetes, obesity and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). For unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), the standard of care, Bayer’s Nexavar (sorafenib), prolongs survival by just three months, therefore more treatment options are needed.

Currently, the Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) pipeline features 319 products across all stages of clinical development. TKIs and PD1/PDL1 inhibitors remain a key focus of development, and their investigation in combination with each other or with other drug classes is increasing. The early-stage pipeline is dominated by small molecules, but also includes mAbs, vaccines, and gene therapies.

Eli Lilly’s Cyramza (ramucirumab), which has shown a modest but significant survival benefit in Phase III clinical trials, is set to be the first VEGF inhibitor approved for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) treatment. PD1/PDL1 inhibitors combined with TKIs, CTLA4 inhibitors, or VEGF inhibitors are set to launch across the 8MM (United States, China, Italy, France, Japan, Germany, Spain and United Kingdom) starting from 2021.
