Competitor Analysis: VEGF Antibodies – Bevacizumab and Ranibizumab Biosimilars and Biosuperiors
The present Competitive Intelligence Report about VEGF Antibodies – Bevacizumab and Ranibizumab Biosimilars and Biosuperiors provides a competitor evaluation in the field of recombinant antibodies targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) used to treat various cancers and ophthalmic diseases as of November 2012. Purchase of the downloadable pdf report includes a 6-month online access to the data of the report and any updates since the publication date. Credentials to access the database will be sent by e-mail and allow online work with the project data to print or export an individual report.
The first generation of recombinant antibodies targeting VEGF consists of bevacizumab (Avastin) from Roche (Genentech) and ranibizumab (Lucentis) from Roche (Genentech) and Novartis. The full length therapeutic antibody Avastin recorded sales of US$ 5.6 bln in the year 2011 and is mainly being used for treatment of colorectal, renal cell and non-small cell lung cancer (EU and US) as well as of breast cancer (EU) and glioblastoma (US). The humanized antibody fragment Lucentis marketed by Novartis and Roche/Genentech (USA) generated 2011 sales of US$ 3.67 bln. Approved indications of Lucentis include wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME) and Macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
The next generation of anti-VEGF antibodies is lead by the fusion protein aflibercept with recent first approvals in oncology and ophthalmology and a number of other improved molecules including antibodies targeting the receptors of VEGF. Bispecific antibodies targeting VEGF and a second angiogenic target are strongly emerging, but still in earlier phases.
Patents covering Avastion and Lucentis are going to expire in the US and EU over the next couple of years and are paving the way for biosimilar antibodies. The first Avastin biosimilars are already in clinical trials and the pipeline has at least further ten biosimilars in preparation for further development.
A similar pattern of development activities can be seen for ranibizumab: next generation, improved molecules, delivery solutions, extension of indications and biosimilar molecules.
The report includes a compilation of currently active projects in development of VEGF and VEGF-R targeting antibodies for treatment of cancer and neo-angiogenic eye diseases. In addition, the report lists company-specific R&D pipelines of VEGF antibodies. Competitor projects are listed in a tabular format providing information on:
The Competitor Analysis Series delivers NO-FRILLS, but concise information about the pipeline of R&D projects for targets, diseases, technologies and companies at low prices. The information is provided in a tabular format and fully referenced.
