Melanoma comprises just 5% of all skin cancers but it is the most deadly. High unmet needs still persist for this tumor type and despite three decades of extensive R&D, five-year survival of advanced patients remains below 20%.
There are today more than 200 therapeutics targeting melanoma in active development, from early preclinical to marketed drugs. In addition, the accumulated number of ceased drugs over the last three years amount to another 82 drugs. Melanoma Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to 143 different targets. These targets are further categorized on the CD-ROM by 47 classifications of molecular function and with pathway referals to BioCarta, KEGG and NetPath. Read more below on how the Melanoma Drug Pipeline Update is organized.
