Acute Myeloid Leukemia | China In-Depth | China | 2020

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common form of adult leukemia but has the lowest five-year overall survival rates of all blood cancers. Historically, AML treatment in China has been dominated by chemotherapy; however, the approval of Celgene’s Vidaza (azacitidine) in 2017 and the expected approvals in China between 2020 and 2023 of several therapies available in Western markets will transform the AML treatment landscape. The entry of novel agents into the treatment paradigm will enable increasingly personalized treatment. However, several areas of unmet need remain. Notably, significant commercial opportunity existsfor innovative agents to treat patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy induction and relapsed/refractory AML patients. Additionally, with the ongoing reforms in China’s regulatory and access and reimbursement landscape, multinational companies are more likely to be encouraged to enter this market.
