Report highlights

Traditional cancer clinical trial endpoints are not always applicable in the assessment of cancer vaccines. Lengthy trials allowing full data maturation of measuring immune response is limiting market entry. R&D must establish an effective and consistent way to assess vaccines.

Arrowhead has identified almost 400 clinical trials investigating therapeutic oncology vaccines. Whole-cell vaccines are the most popular design in late-stage development. Arrowhead anticipates a wave of products to reach the market over the coming decade.

The market is set to become highly competitive, especially within the lung cancer and melanoma sectors. By 2020 the market could be worth $8 billion. Top revenue earning candidates include GSK’s MAGE-ASCI-A3, Merck/Oncothyreon’s Stimuvax (BLP25), NovaRX’s Lucanix and Lorus Therapeutics/Zor Pharma’s Virulizin.
