Breast Cancer | Disease Landscape and Forecast | G7 | 2025
CDK4/6 inhibitors (Pfizer’s palbociclib, Novartis’s ribociclib, and Eli Lilly’s abemaciclib) combined with endocrine therapy are central to the treatment of metastatic HR-positive / HER2-negative disease, and we expect them to drive robust sales in the early-stage setting. Novel biomarker-driven therapies (Novartis’s alpelisib, AstraZeneca´s capivasertib, and Menarini´s elacestrant) are effective treatment options, and the market will become increasingly crowded with agents seeking to tackle endocrine resistance. HER2-positive breast cancer treatment is rapidly evolving owing to approval and forecast label expansions for agents such as trastuzumab deruxtecan (Daiichi Sankyo / AstraZeneca), which has also emerged as a key therapy for the newly defined HER2-low and HER2-ultra-low subgroups. In triple-negative breast cancer, Merck & Co.’s immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab is the standard of care, and Gilead’s TROP2-targeted agent sacituzumab govitecan, currently used in the pretreated metastatic setting, aims to expand to more lucrative earlier lines of treatment.
