Bladder Cancer | Disease Landscape and Forecast | G7 | 2018

Market Outlook

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are revolutionizing the treatment algorithm for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer. Following the 2016/7 FDA approvals of five immune checkpoint inhibitors for platinum-treated patients (i.e., second– and later lines)—PD-L1 inhibitor Tecentriq (Roche/Genentech/Chugai) followed by PD-1 inhibitor Opdivo (Bristol-Myers Squibb) and other PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors—significant sales are forecast for the unresectable locally advanced or metastatic setting. There is now intense Phase II/III pipeline activity, with some drugs in the late-phase pipeline also targeting previously untreated unresectable locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer (i.e., first-line setting). We anticipate that several new therapies will gain approvals within the forecast period, resulting in increased therapy options.
