MARKET OUTLOOK
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 has seen much improvement in the last decade. The multiple myeloma market of China is expected to expand further over the 2018-2028 period, fueled by the increasing disease incidence and an increasing uptake of targeted agents; most notably that of the recently launched daratumumab and upcoming pomalidomide, due to their potential efficacy in improving PFS in patients, especially in the relapsed/refractory setting. Despite the availability of a number of 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. Additionally, with the ongoing reforms in the regulatory and access & reimbursement landscape of China, multinational companies are likely to be increasingly incentivized to enter the multiple myeloma market.
