Market Outlook:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignancy of the liver, with the majority of cases arising from underlying liver cirrhosis. Treatment of HCC incorporates a variety of multimodal approaches; advanced (metastatic) disease is treated with palliative intent. Few pharmacological interventions are approved for advanced HCC, with Bayer HealthCare/Amgen/Onyx’s Nexavar as the long-standing, only first-line treatment option available. In the recurrent setting, Bristol-Myers Squibb/Ono Pharmaceutical’s PD-1 inhibitor, Opdivo, has captured significant market shares since its approval in 2017. The late-phase development pipeline is predominantly focused on the advanced HCC population segment and encompasses a diverse range of mechanisms of action. Because the HCC market is largely untapped, the developer of an efficacious therapy could reap high commercial rewards.
