The gastroesophageal cancer market (including gastric, gastroesophageal junction, and esophageal cancer) is witnessing a substantial change, largely fueled by the entry of immune checkpoint inhibitor combination therapies. We expect that label expansions of Opdivo (Bristol Myers Squibb) and Keytruda (Merck & Co.), as well as approvals of other programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors, will continue to reshape the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative gastroesophageal cancer market in the coming years. Immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with HER2-targeted agents and chemotherapy, and the anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate Enhertu (Daiichi Sankyo / AstraZeneca) are poised to expand treatment options for HER2-positive patients. Other treatments are targeting niche biomarkers (e.g., claudin18.2, FGFR2b) and are set to provide novel treatment options for select gastroesophageal cancer patients. Given the intense late-phase pipeline activity, we anticipate the approval of several new therapies for gastroesophageal cancer during the forecast period.
