Description-
Hematological
malignancies are a class of cancer that affect the blood, lymph nodes
and bone marrow, and include numerous forms of leukemia, lymphoma and
myeloma. Hematological malignancies constituted 9% of all newly
diagnosed malignancies in the US in 2011, with data indicating that
lymphomas are more prevalent than leukemia or myeloma. Excluding
acute lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin’s lymphoma, these types of
malignancy are generally associated with increasing age. Therefore,
considering the aging population globally, this class of malignancy
is likely to become more prevalent.
The
report assesses first-in-class innovation in the hematological cancer
pipeline, highlighting key trends in first-in-class product
distribution. Analysis reveals that the hematological cancer pipeline
is among the most innovative in the industry, with 463 first-in-class
products, representing 45.3% of the pipeline with a disclosed
molecular target.
The first-in-class targets in the pipeline are
numerous and varied in nature. Cancer immunotherapies are the most
common, with a total of 128 across all stages of development,
followed by the signal transduction group of targets. The most
commercially successful targeted drugs in the market fall into these
two categories, including Rituxan (a cancer immunotherapy) and
Gleevec (a signal transducer). The other target families have much
fewer first-in-class products, reflecting the strong interest in
cancer immunotherapies and targets implicated in signal
transduction.
Over the past 15 years, the treatment of
hematological malignancies has changed significantly, with the
development of targeted therapies. These developments have been based
on the growing understanding of the signaling pathways involved in
disease pathogenesis. A notable example is the approval of Rituxan in
1997, which is used to treat multiple types of hematological
malignancies, including Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Analysis indicates
that the current pipeline is following this trend of focusing on
innovative, targeted therapies.
