Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia | Niche & Rare Disease Landscape & Forecast | US/EU5 | 2018
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the white blood cells. Over the last few years, a number of agents have been launched that have improved treatment outcomes for patients with ALL, including monoclonal antibodies to CD19 (Amgen’s Blincyto) and CD22 (Pfizer’s Besponsa); and the first chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells for relapsed/refractory pediatric and young adult ALL patients, namely Novartis’ Kymriah. Nonetheless, chemotherapies are highly effective and remain the backbone of frontline ALL treatment. New targeted therapies in development, including novel kinase inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, and immunomodulatory agents hold promise of providing ALL patients additional treatment options, but will need to be incorporated into the current algorithm.
Questions Answered:
- What is the size of the U.S. and EU5ALL patient populations, and how will drug treatment rates change over a 10-year period? What are the drug-treatable populations of most commercial interest?
- What is the current medical practice and management for ALL in the markets under study? What are interviewed experts’ insights on CAR T-cells and how are they being incorporated into the treatment algorithm?
- What clinical needs remain unfulfilled? How could new emerging therapies fulfill those unmet needs?
- How has the entry of biosimilar rituximab in the EU5 and the generic entry of imatinib in the U.S. and EU5 impacted the ALL market?
