Hepatocellular Carcinoma | Disease Landscape and Forecast | G7 | 2020

Hepatocellular carcinoma is a primary malignancy of the liver that commonly arises from liver cirrhosis. Nexavar (Bayer HealthCare / Amgen / Onyx) was the only drug approved for advanced disease until the 2017/2018 approvals of Stivarga (Bayer HealthCare), Opdivo (Bristol Myers Squibb / Ono Pharmaceutical), Keytruda (Merck & Co.), Lenvima (Eisai / Merck & Co.), Cabometyx (Exelixis), and Cyramza (Eli Lilly) and the 2020 approvals of Tecentriq plus Avastin (Roche / Genentech) and Opdivo plus Yervoy (Bristol Myers Squibb / Ono Pharmaceutical). Driving the growth of the hepatocellular carcinoma therapy market will be the uptake of these premium-priced immune checkpoint inhibitors and their combination regimens. Because this market is still largely untapped, it offers substantial commercial potential.
