Frontier Pharma Pancreatic Cancer - Identifying and Commercializing First-in-Class Innovation: Radiant Insights, Inc Summary Pancreatic cancer is the 12th most common cancer globally, and the fourth most fatal, with a mortality rate of 10.9 deaths per 100,000 people per year. The poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients has highlighted a significant need for new and improved approaches to treatment, which is not being met by the current market. A highly active pancreatic cancer pipeline contains an array of products with varying molecule types and mechanisms of action, which provides a striking contrast to the current, chemotherapy dominated, market. Within the pipeline, there are 185 products that act on a first-in-class molecular target, representing 52% of the total pancreatic cancer pipeline products that have a disclosed molecular target. A drastically different pipeline and market composition implies that the approach to pancreatic cancer treatment is changing and first-in-class innovation is playing a significant role in this.

The continued reliance on generic chemotherapies is one reason why the prognosis has shown little improvement. - What survival benefits do current therapies provide? - What are the current unmet needs that the pipeline needs to address? - The pipeline contains a plethora of molecule types and molecular targets not present on the market, including a large focus on therapies targeting common oncogenic pathways and signaling intermediates such as PI3K/Akt. - What impact will the emergence of biologics have on the pancreatic cancer landscape? - Will pipeline diversity translate to clinically and commercially successful therapies? - How will the rise of novel molecular target categories, such as signal transduction, impact future treatment options? - 52% of pipeline products act on a first-in-class target, which is higher than the oncology and industry averages. - Do first-in-class products show strong progression into the later stages?
