Gastric Cancer | China In-Depth | China | 2019
MARKET OUTLOOK
China has the highest incidence of gastric cancer (gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma) in the world, and therapeutic options are limited. Only two targeted agents are approved to treat this indication: Roche’s Herceptin and Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine’s AiTan. Herceptin is the first-line standard of care for HER2-positive patients and AiTan is approved for third-line patients, irrespective of HER2 status. Several novel targeted therapies—including angiogenesis inhibitors (Eli Lilly’s Cyramza and Chi-Med’s Elunate); a claudin inhibitor (Ganymed’s zolbetuximab), and combination regimens of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Opdivo, Merck & Co.’s Keytruda, Innovent Biologics’ Tyvyt, and Suzhou Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine’s camrelizumab);—and biosimilars of Herceptin are in late-stage development. The launch and uptake of these novel therapies will lead to significant growth of the gastric cancer therapy market over the 2018-2028 forecast period. However, the need for additional, effective targeted therapies will remain high, representing a lucrative commercial opportunity for drug developers.
