Together, the four major cancer markets, which include colorectal, prostate, lung and breast cancer were valued at well over $16 billion in 2005, which was an increase of 14 percent in value since 2004. Driving this growth are innovative new products, line extensions for existing products, and the coming of age of the biotech industry.

Arrowhead Publishers’ new report entitled Cancer Therapeutics 2006: Market Dynamics and R&D Trends examines these four major cancer markets in light of newly emerging therapeutics, shifting market shares and
line extensions for major products on the market.

Key Findings

The market for colorectal cancer therapies has increased by over seven-fold since 2000. The increase in the value of this market can be explained by new and improved chemotherapeutic agents now on the market, the introduction of key biologic therapies, and improved chemotherapeutic regimens which take into account various new options.

The value of the prostate cancer therapy market is over $2.6 billion in 2005. Hormone therapies continue to dominate the market, as they have proven to be the most effective at treating later-stage prostate cancer and are usually second in line to radiation therapy for patients with locally-advanced disease. However, with the looming approval of vaccines, angiogenesis inhibitors, and increased use of chemotherapy in metastatic disease, future treatment will take into account the benefits and disadvantages associated with ALL of these therapies.

The market for the pharmaceutical treatment of lung cancer is still largely dominated by cytotoxics in 2005-2006, although targeted therapies are beginning to make an impact. Continued uptake of Tarceva and potential
approvals for Avastin, Zactima, Erbitux and other new therapies will offset the decline in value that has come as a result of patent expirations in this market.

The breast cancer market is the most vibrant and dynamic of the four major cancer markets. Currently, the market is divided between chemotherapeutic agents, anti-hormonals, and Herceptin. The strongest growth in recent years has been in the anti-hormonal sector. The overall value of branded products should increase significantly during the next five years. Uptake of aromatase inhibitors, targeted therapies, and new cytotoxic
combinations should increase patient options and result in increased competition and better clinical outcomes in this dynamic market.
