Renal Cancer - Targeted therapies rapidly take hold of market

"IntroductionIn the 7 major markets, Datamonitor estimates that the incidence of RCC in 2007 will total 86,800 cases. Around 25% of all RCC patients are diagnosed with Stage IV disease; the 2-year survival rate for these patients is around 23%. This low survival rate and the fact that a significant proportion of Stage IIII patients relapse with Stage IV disease mean there is significant unmet need in RCC.ScopeAnalysis of RCC market based on a survey of 180 renal cancer specialists, supported by interviews carried out with key opinion leaders Segmentation of renal cancer patient population by disease subtype, disease stage at presentation and proportion receiving surgery and/or drug therapy In-depth analysis of treatment patterns in RCC by line of therapy, including most commonly prescribed drug regimens in 7 major markets Ranking of key prescribing influences in RCC, brand assessment of existing drug therapies, unmet needs and late-phase pipeline overviewHighlightsPfizer's Sutent (sunitinib) is established as the standard-of-care for the first-line treatment of Stage IV RCC in most of the 7 major pharmaceutical markets. Bayer/Onyx's Nexavar (sorafenib) is the most commonly prescribed therapy in the second-line for Sutent-refractory patients. Wyeth's Torisel (temsirolimus) will soon be used in some poor-prognosis patients in the first-line and Genentech/Roche's Avastin (bevacizumab) may capture some of Sutent's first-line market share. Both drugs are also likely to compete for a share of the second-line market in Sutent-refractory patients. Due to high levels of unmet need in renal cancer, there is considerable activity in the late-phase renal cancer pipeline, with 9 drugs in Phase III development including 4 immunotherapies and 5 targeted therapies. The most promising drugs are Novartis's Certican (everolimus) and GlaxoSmithKline's pazopanib.Reasons to PurchaseIdentify key prescribing factors that influence prescription patterns for systemic therapy in renal cancer Examine the significant unmet need within renal cancer and identify opportunities for new product development Enhance commercial positioning by increasing understanding of current dynamics within the renal cancer market"
