The breast cancer market is rapidly evolving and presents new commercial opportunities for drug developers. CDK4/6 inhibitors (Pfizer’s Ibrance, Novartis’s Kisqali, and Eli Lilly’s Verzenio / Verzenios) are creating new dynamics in the metastatic HR-positive / HER2-negative treatment practice. In HER2-positive breast cancer, HER2-targeting drugs in development are forecast to enter the market, while sales of current HER2-targeting agents will be impacted as a result of competition, label expansions, biosimilar entries, and new trials leading to changes in treatment guidelines. Furthermore, the approval of PARP inhibitors (AstraZeneca / Merck & Co.’s Lynparza and Pfizer’s Talzenna), PD-1-targeting agents (Roche / Genentech / Chugai’s Tecentriq), PI3K inhibitors (Novartis’s Piqray), HER2-targeting agents (Daiichi Sankyo / AstraZeneca’s Enhertu, Seagen’s Tukysa, and Macrogenics’ Margenza), TROP2-targeting antibody-drug conjugates (Immunomedics’ Trodelvy), and the anticipated entry of other agents from these drug classes will diversify treatment options, especially for triple-negative breast cancer.
Questions answered
- What is the size of the drug-treatable breast cancer population, and how will drug-treatment rates change over time?
- What is the expected market impact of recent drug approvals, such as Tecentriq, Piqray, Enhertu, Tukysa, and Trodelvy on the various subpopulations of breast cancer?
- What are the most promising agents in the pipeline, and how will they shape the future of the breast cancer market?
- What are the drivers and constraints in the breast cancer market, and how will the market evolve over the forecast period?
