Summary

Introduction

Approaches to cancer treatment continue to incorporate molecular targeted therapies into standard treatment regimens. With an increasing number of candidates gaining approval, and with a dynamic developmental pipeline, further clinical, commercial and strategic challenges are continuing to emerge.

Scope

  • *Research and analysis of the MTT pipeline with in-depth clinical and commercial assessment of Phase III candidates
  • *Seven major pharmaceutical market sales forecasts to 2017 for key pipeline candidates incorporating product specific assumptions and events
  • *Segmentation and examination of product pipeline by developmental phase, class, mode of action, indication and developer
  • *Insight and analysis of market potential including commercial opportunity, commonalities across cancers and discussion of unmet needs

Highlights

  • 373 different pipeline candidates have been identified of which 38 are in late-phase development. These identified candidates have a forecast sales potential of up to $7.31 billion in the seven major pharmaceutical markets by 2017.
  • Agents holding the greatest commercial potential include Afinitor (everolimus; Novartis), Omnitarg (pertuzumab; Genentech/Roche), Brivanib (BMS-582664; Bristol-Myers Squibb) and aflibercept (VEGF-Trap; Sanofi-Aventis).
  • The 'big four' tumor typesnon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), breast cancer, colorectal cancer and prostate cancercontinue to attract the main attention from MTT developers. However, niche tumor types with lower bars to market entry can still offer high rewards for effective candidates.

Reasons to Purchase

  • *Acquire a detailed appreciation and impartial perspective of the entire molecular targeted therapies developmental pipeline
  • *Identify the key products in late-phase development based on sales forecasts to 2017 and Datamonitor's drug assessment methodology
