En fazla satan 10 kanser ilacı

2017 yılının Ocak-Eylül ayları arasında GEN listesinde yer alan 10 ilacın toplam satışlarıdır, 2016 yılının ilk çeyreğindeki 34.407 milyar dolardan% 15.2 artışla 39.632 milyar dolara çıkmıştır.

While cancers are among the deadliest of diseases, only one category ranks within the World Health Organization’s list of Top 10 Causes of Death—lung cancers, which ranked number five, accounting for 1.59 million deaths in 2015. (Heart disease topped the list with 8.76 million deaths.)

Yet, cancer represents the largest therapeutic area based on sales, racking up $93.7 billion worldwide in 2016, according to EvaluatePharma—which has projected a more than doubling of oncology therapy sales by 2022, to $192.2 billion, based on a compound annual growth rate of 12.7%. Also set to grow is the market share of cancer drugs—which is projected to expand from 11.7% in 2016 to 17.5% in 2022.

Cancer drug sales growth is expected to be driven by three treatments that are among the 10 best-selling treatments for oncology indications as measured by GEN—Merck & Co.’s Keytruda^®(pembrolizumab), Celgene’s Revlimid^® (lenalidomide), and Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Opdivo^®(nivolumab).

Also projected to contribute to the sales growth of cancer drugs are AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi™ (durvalumab) and Incyte’s Phase III pipeline candidate epacadostat. The rise of those drugs is expected to help the segment recoup revenues set to be lost to biosimilars to two other top 10 cancer therapies, Genentech (Roche)’s Herceptin (trastuzumab) and the Genentech/Biogen drug Rituxan^® (rituximab, sold in some countries as MabThera).
