Multiple myeloma is an incurable hematological malignancy with a 100% mortality rate that affects a sizeable Chinese population every year. With the introduction of proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents in China, the median overall survival (OS) has improved considerably in the last ten years. Moreover, this market is expected to expand further over the forecast period, fueled by the disease’s increasing incidence and the increasing uptake of targeted agents—most notably the upcoming bispecific antibodies (Janssen’s teclistamab and talquetamab, Pfizer’s elranatamab) and CAR-T cell therapies (Janssen’s cilta-cel, Carsgen’s CT053, Iaso’s CT103A)—owing to their potential efficacy in improving PFS in patients, especially in the relapsed/refractory setting. Despite the availability of several traditional and novel agents, there will remain a high unmet need for therapies that can significantly improve patients’ PFS and OS, representing an opportunity for new drug developers. In this report, we explore how unmet need, pricing, coverage, and regulatory reforms in the A&R landscape of China will likely impact the success of current and future players in this highly lucrative market.
