Global Cancer CDK Inhibitors Market - 2021-2028

Global Cancer CDK Inhibitors Market - 2021-2028

Market Overview

The Global Cancer CDK Inhibitors Market size was worth US$ XX billion in 2020 and is estimated to reach US$ XX billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of XX % during the forecast period (2021-2028).

A CDK (cyclin-dependent kinase) inhibitor is a chemical that inhibits the function of CDKs. They are used to treat cancers by preventing the over proliferation of cancer cells. CDK4/6 inhibitors are a newer class of drugs used to treat certain types of metastatic breast cancer, which is cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, such as the bones or liver. These drugs interrupt the process through which breast cancer cells divide and multiply by targeting specific proteins known as cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6. They are also used in various types of cancers lung cancers, breast cancers, Thyroid cancer. Currently there are three CDK4/6 inhibitors used to treat metastatic breast cancer Ibrance (palbociclib), Kisqali (ribociclib), Verzenio (abemaciclib) approved by US FDA.

Market Dynamics

The global Cancer CDK Inhibitors market growth is driven by the growing incidence of cancer cases, presence of strong clinical pipeline, Advancement in R&D are among the key factors driving the market growth.

Increasing incidence of Cancer Cases, is expected to drive the global Cancer CDK Inhibitors market during the forecast period.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Cancer is the second-most leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for over 18.1 million cases were diagnosed in 2018. The most common cancers occurring in the U.S include lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal Cancer, thyroid cancer, pancreatic Cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, melanoma, renal pelvis cancer, kidney cancer and leukemia. In 2020, around 19 Mn new cancer cases were diagnosed across the world as per the WHO. Likewise, the American Cancer Society reported that 89,500 cases were diagnosed in the U.S. in 2020. This number has led to an increase in the adoption of cancer CDK inhibitors.

Presence of strong clinical pipeline, is expected to drive the global Cancer CDK Inhibitors market during the forecast period.

In August 2020: ARC Therapeutics, a development-stage pharmaceutical company developing small molecule inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) to treat advanced and resistant cancers, launched with a $6 million financing led by founding investor Eshelman Ventures LLC. ARC Therapeutics has executed an exclusive license agreement with G1 Therapeutics for its preclinical CDK2 inhibitor program with this financing. It will utilize the remaining proceeds to advance this program into the clinic.

As of February 2017, Trilaciclib (G1T28, CDK4/6 inhibitor, G1 Therapeutics) is in multiple phase II clinical trials, and the drug is being tested as a method for reducing the adverse effects of chemotherapy. In August 2019, it received breakthrough therapy designation for its ability to minimize chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression. As of August 2020, the drug is under Food and Drug Administration (FDA) priority review for small-cell lung cancer with an application decision date of February 15, 2021. Trilaciclib was approved for medical use in the United States in February 2021.

Major side effects of drugs is likely to hinder the market growth

CDK inhibitors will replace conventional therapies in many situations and have a unique set of side effects. Therefore, it is essential to understand their side effects and drug interactions as they increasingly represent a therapeutic choice for selected patients with breast and other cancers.

The most common side effect is neutropenia, a low level of white blood cells, which can increase the chance of infection. Neutropenia is temporary and dose-dependent, with the white blood count usually returns to normal with dose interruption or dose reduction of the drug. Other side effects include leukopenia may also occur, although anemia and thrombocytopenia are less common. In general, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, and alopecia (hair loss) are usually mild and reversible by reducing the dose and taking regular breaks. These factors restrict the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

In the pessimistic scenario, it could assume that the COVID-19 pandemic has lowered the CDK inhibitors market, especially for research purposes, and also reduced clinical trials. It would have resumed early post the stringent regulations imposed in the first and second quarter of 2020 in many parts of the world. However, clinical trials were disrupted during this period and have not fully recovered in the post-lockdown period. Could affect the future demand for CDK inhibitors in the negative scenario.
