Breast Cancer | Unmet Need | US/EU | 2017

The HER2-positive breast cancer treatment paradigm has undergone considerable change in recent years and is expected to evolve further as more novel therapies enter the market. The enthusiastic adoption of HER2-targeting biologics, Roche/Genentech’s Perjeta (pertuzumab) and Kadcyla (T-DM1), has increased the barrier of entry for new emerging therapies. However, unmet need still exists for the treatment of advanced/metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Our content examines the key drivers of prescribing and analyzes the areas of significant commercial opportunities.
