Commercial Insight: Cytotoxic Therapy Cancer Brands - Looming patent expiries limit market growthPublished by: Datamonitor Published: Jul. 18, 2008 - 259 Pages Table of Contents

The cytotoxic therapy cancer brands market is currently worth just over $10 billion and is forecast to grow to sales of almost $15 billion. The launch of the antimetabolite brands, Dacogen (decitabine; Eisai/Johnson & Johnson) and Vidaza (azacitadine; Celgene) in the EU and Japanese markets contributes to this growth. As a class, DNA-interactive cytotoxic therapy cancer brands contributed the highest proportion of sales in 2007 with $4.3 billion. This is in part, driven by the sales of Eloxatin (oxaliplatin; Sanofi-Aventis) and Camptosar. However, by 2017, the antimetabolite brands class are set to overtake. Twenty four companies are involved in the development of currently approved cytotoxic therapy cancer brands, over half of which have more than one cytotoxic brand on the market.
