towards the middle of the forecasted period, it will need to try to obtain the most shares in this

market before then. Generic competition will probably reduce revenue after 2018 – although,

because Afinitor is approved to treat a number of indications, revenue will not fall significantly after

loss of patent exclusivity.

World Cancer-Treating Drugs Industry and Market: Companies, Therapies, R&D and Forecasts 2015-2025

A number of clinical programmes are currently under way which may boost Xgeva’s revenue over

the next 10 years. A phase III trial is currently running for the delay or prevention of bone

metastases in breast cancer, which could increase Xgeva’s market size significantly if successful.

A phase III programme is also running for use of Xgeva for the treatment of cancer-related bone

damage in patients with multiple myeloma. However, in 2013 Amgen apparently ended its

programme for the use of Xgeva to delay or prevent bone metastases in prostate cancer in

Europe, which was in line with decision by the FDA in 2012 to not approve Xgeva to treat men with

CRPC at high risk of developing bone metastases, reports indicate.

Xgeva faces strong competition over the next 10 years. This will primarily come from Zometa

(Novartis) and generic competitors of this, due to the expiration of Zometa’s patent in the US in

2013. As generics will cost substantially less than Zometa and Xgeva, they will account for a large

proportion of the market, visiongain expects.
