Protein kinase inhibitors such as Gleevec, Iressa and Tarceva have allowed the biotechnology industry to deliver on the promise of targeted cancer drugs. However, these three successful drugs are just the top of an emerging line of therapy. Given the fact that they all target tyrosine kinases and that kinase mutations can cause patients to become resistant to these drugs, there is plenty of room for more competition.
There are today at least 360 protein kinase inhibitors in active development for the treatment of cancer, from early preclinical to marketed drugs. In addition, the accumulated number of ceased drugs over the last three years amount to another 135 drugs. Protein Kinase Inhibitors in Oncology: Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to 134 different targets. These targets are further categorized on the CDROM by 31 classifications of molecular function and with pathway referals to BioCarta, KEGG and NetPath. Read more below on how the Protein Kinase Inhibitors in Oncology: Drug Pipeline Update is organized.
