Report Published: "Avastin (Colorectal Cancer) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2023"

GlobalData has released its new PharmaPoint Drug Evaluation report, "Avastin (Colorectal Cancer) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2023". Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of mortality among cancer patients in the world and is the third most diagnosed cancer globally, and thus represents a huge burden on healthcare systems. This report focuses on the current treatment landscape, unmet needs, current pipeline, and commercial opportunities in the colorectal cancer market, with coverage of multiple settings of the disease including neoadjuvant/adjuvant, first-, second-, third-line KRAS wild-type and mutation-positive, and fourth-line metastatic. In terms of targeted treatments, the metastatic CRC treatment landscape is mature, including the branded treatments Avastin (bevacizumab), Avastin (cetuximab), and Vectibix (panitumumab), treatments that have extended the survival of metastatic patients compared to chemotherapy-only regimens. However, high unmet needs remain for the extension of survival of metastatic patients, and particularly those with KRAS mutation-positive disease, for whom the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors Avastin and Vectibix are not recommended.

Avastin was the first agent of a new class of drugs that targeted the angiogenesis pathway. The anti-angiogenic agent is a humanized monoclonal IgG1 that binds to vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), preventing the ligand from binding to the VEGF receptor. Inhibition of the VEGF pathway prevents endothelial cells from proliferating and forming the new bloods vessels that are required for the tumor to grow. The drug delivered as a monotherapy is not curative, and must be co-administered with a chemotherapy regimen.
