The estimated market size for lung cancer therapeutics in 2014 was $ billion.
There is increasing competition in this market, especially amongst the large pharmaceutical (pharma)
participants such as Merck, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, and Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), which are set to
launch their targeted therapy drugs.
BMS has already launched Opdivo (Nivolumab) in Japan (July 2014), and became the first company to
introduce its candidate in the PD-L1 pathway.
Other mutations found in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) such as EGFR ( %*), ALK ( %*),
BRAF ( %*), HER ( %*), and KRAS ( %*) have only a few drugs in the pipeline.
EGFR and ALK are the only two mutations that have FDA-approved drugs in the market.
Two drugs targeting the ALK mut+ population are in the pipeline and have been given breakthrough
therapy status by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Having faced failure as a potential target for a long time, KRAS mut+ NSCLC now has drugs in Phase-2
development.
Squamous NSCLC, which constitutes % of lung cancer patients worldwide, remains a condition with
largely unmet needs due to the existence of very few approved targeted therapies for its treatment.
Similarly, there is only one FDA-approved drug for third-line treatment of lung cancer, which is Tarceva.

Executive Summary (continued)
First-line treatment consists of administering the usual chemotherapy, i.e., platinum agent plus
Gemcitabine, or Paclitaxel. However, this might change with the introduction of necitumumab, Eli Lillys
candidate at present in Phase 3 of clinical trials in the United States.
Other drugs such as Yervoy and nivolumab are also being tested in clinical trials as targeted therapy for
squamous NSCLC.
With a heavy pipeline of about drugs in Phase-2 clinical trials, and most Phase-3 drugs showing
effective results, a number of launches are expected by 2020.
Tobacco consumption is the main cause of lung cancer worldwide, with approximately % of the
patients being smokers. Recent statistics show that % of adults in China smoke regularly, and almost
one in two men consume cigarettes regularly.
o In addition, a less proactive take by the Chinese Government in raising lung cancer awareness
contributes to making China the highest-growing market for lung cancer therapeutics today.
A number of niche participants such as BioNumerik Pharmaceuticals, Ora Bio, Simcere Pharmaceutical
Group, Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, RECOMBIO, Oncothyreon Inc., Tesaro Inc., Exelixis Inc., CureVac
GmbH, Clovis Oncology, ArQule, NewLink Genetics Corporation, and Synta Pharmaceuticals have
drugs in Phase 2 or Phase 3 in the pipeline for lung cancer treatment.

9 MAC3-52
This research service focuses on the prescription drugs used for the treatment of both non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). It does not cover non-pharmaceutical
palliative therapies such as radiation and surgery.
A product and pipeline assessment is provided for marketed and investigational products for the
treatment of NSCLC and SCLC. Segmentation by drug class is provided, along with additional
supporting information such as clinical trial timelines and results, projected launch timelines, and
epidemiology.
The information contained in this research service was derived from published sources, including
disease organization Web sites; public health organization Web sites; company publications including
annual reports, SEC filings, and press releases; government public sources; and published articles in
scientific journals.

Alkaloids Other
Therapies*
Alkaloids are nitrogen-containing basic compounds mainly derived from animal and plant sources. Various alkaloids are used as therapeutic agents to inhibit cell reproduction;
sometimes, they may even kill the cancerous cells. E.g., Abraxane
Cytostatics inhibit the proliferation of cells. In other words, these compounds inhibit the cancerous cells from growing, without killing them. Most cancer drugs fall into this category.
Anti-angiogenics, or angiogenic inhibitors, are the class of cancer drugs that stop the growth of new blood vessels in cancerous tumours, thereby stopping their nourishment and
their spread to other parts of the body.
Anti-neoplastics, also know as anti-neoplastic chemotherapeutic drugs, destroy neoplastic cells in the body, which accumulate to form the cancerous tumours. However, they have the
side-effect of destroying normal cells as well, thereby leaving the patient weak.

*Other pharmacological approaches include bone calcium regulators, cytotoxic antibiotics, anti-cancer agents,
immunostimulants, anti-rheumatics, alkylating agents, and anti-metabolites.

Other Therapies*
o Bone-calcium regulators do not treat the disease but are used in cases where the
cancer has metastasized to the bone, leading to fractures and pain.
o Cytotoxic antibiotics work by interfering with the DNA but do not directly lead to
apoptosis and are sufficient for the bodys immune system to recognize and kill the cells.
o Anti-cancer agents selectively target cancer cells by detecting their altered
metabolism from the normal cells in the body.
o Immunostimulants positively regulate the bodys immune system to fight the abnormal, cancerous cells.
o Anti-rheumatics act by stopping the recruitment of lymphocytes during inflammation
in rheumatoid arthritis and, in case of cancer, towards the tumour.
o Alkylating agents are the oldest form of treatment for cancer. These drugs add an
alkyl group to the DNA of cancerous cells, thereby hampering cell growth.
o Anti-metabolites disrupt the biosynthesis of nucleic acids, essential for the formation
of DNA and RNA, thus leading to cell death.
