Kinase Therapeutics: Pipeline Assessment and Commercial Prospects published by Insight Pharma Reports in January, 2010. This report consists of 302 pages and the price starts from US $ 3195.
Abstract
The number of kinase inhibitors entering clinical development has increased
significantly in recent years. In addition to major pharmaceutical and biotech
companies, an increasing number of emerging companies are focusing on their
development. By 2020, small-molecule kinase inhibitors could generate annual
revenues > $25 billion.
This report assesses:
- R&D considerations specific to targeting kinases
- Current kinase inhibitor pipelines
- Commercial successes to date
- Near- and longer-term market outlook
- Corporate activities of firms involved with kinases
Kinases are now firmly established as a major class of drug targets. It was
previously thought that kinases would be intractable drug targets due to the
presumed need to compete with ATP and the assumption that sufficient
selectivity would be unattainable. However, considerable progress has been
made in understanding kinases and their function, and the past few years have
seen a number of kinase inhibitors reach the market. Imatinib (Novartis'
Gleevec) is currently the most commercially successful, with sales reaching
$3.7 billion in 2008. Erlotinib (OSI/Roche' s Tarceva) generated revenues of
$1.1 billion the same year.
In recent years, there has been an explosion in the number of kinase
inhibitors entering the clinic, and many more are in preclinical development.
Kinase Therapeutics: Pipeline Assessment and Commercial Prospects
identifies which kinase families and their respective members have
attracted the greatest interest for therapeutic development and in which
indications these kinases play a physiological or pathophysiological role and
thus are most relevant for kinase inhibitor development.
This report extensively reviews small-molecule kinase inhibitors identified as
being in active clinical development. Oncology indications accounted for 79%
of these inhibitors, while inflammatory indications accounted for nearly half
of the kinase inhibitors not being developed to treat cancers. Kinase
inhibitors identified as being in clinical development are analyzed by
clinical phase (Phases I-III) and by target.
Kinase Therapeutics: Pipeline Assessment and Commercial Prospects
examines the considerable discrepancies in the levels of activities amongst
major companies regarding kinase inhibitor development. The perceived
tractability of kinases as drug targets has led to an increasing number of
emerging companies focused on kinase inhibitor development. Many are
developing kinase inhibitors in partnership with major companies, while others
may be potential acquisition targets. Further, the desire to extensively
profile kinase inhibitors has led to the emergence of companies that offer
such services. The activities of selected specialist and service companies are
also examined.
The period to 2015 should see a number of additional kinase inhibitors reach
the market. As a result, annual revenues generated by kinase inhibitors should
approximately double by 2015 from the near $8 billion generated in 2008. The
large number of kinase inhibitors currently in Phase II should ensure that the
period between 2015 and 2020 sees a steady flow of new kinase inhibitors
approved for use, ensuring continued growth of their commercial revenues.
