Breast cancer marks an abnormal breast cell growth that results in tumor development. According to the Wor ld Health Organization, breast cancer was the most common cancer in women in 2022. Around 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 670 000 deaths were registered in 2022. To tackle the rising mortality rates, various companies are committed to develop new breast cancer drug candidates across the region.
Report Coverage
The Breast Cancer Drug Pipeline report by Expert Market Research gives comprehensive insights on the breast cancer therapeutic drugs currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details for each of these drugs under development. The report includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies . It will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials including their adverse effects on breast cancer pipeline landscape.
The detailed analysis of each drug , drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration and ongoing product development activities related to breast cancer are covered. Moreover, breast cancer collaborations and commercial assessments are offered, helping stakeholders to make informed decisions.
Breast Cancer Drug Pipeline Outlook
Breast cancer begins inside the milk ducts of the breast, when the cells undergo continuous multiplication, leading to occurrence of a tumor. These tumors can cause lumps or thickening and can be considered as the early signs of detection. Although the in-situ form is not life-threatening and can be detected at early stages, the global estimates demonstrate large inequities in the breast cancer burden. For instance, 1 in 12 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime in countries with a very high human development index (HDI).
Early signs of breast cancer include changes in the shape and size of the breast, redness, scaling, dimpling, or puckering in the skin, swelling, or a lump near or in the breast or underarm area. Common breast cancer screening tests include clinical breast exam, ultrasound, mammogram, MRI, and biopsy. Various types of breast cancer treatments and medication classes, including targeted therapies, immunotherapies, biosimilars, are available to treat different types of breast cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy are amongst standard treatments used for breast cancer.
Currently, several clinical trials are in progress to develop effective treatment alternatives for breast cancer, indicating a promising future for the treatment landscape. Some of the notable breast cancer drug candidates which are showing promising results in breast cancer treatment include PI3K/mTOR inhibitors, TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), and a first-in-human trial assessing a cancer-killing oncolytic virus.
The American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting 2022 featured important presentations. In August 2022, the United States FDA approved fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki by Daiichi Sankyo Co, Ltd., for the treatment of patients with unresectable or HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. The drug is intended for patients who have received a prior anti–HER2-based regimen. Other notable approval was Olaparib developed by AstraZeneca. The drug is used for the treatment of adult patients with suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated HER2–high-risk early breast cancer.
The breast cancer pipeline insight covers the pathophysiology and epidemiology, developing treatment, and the progress and future aspects of ongoing clinical trials cancer in detail.

- Others
This section covers the detailed analysis of each drug under multiple phases including phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and emerging drugs. Moreover, the section covers include product description, trial ID, study type, drug class, mode of administration, and recruitment status of breast cancer clinical trial drugs.
Inavolisib - Hoffmann-La Roche
Inavolisib is currently under phase III, sponsored by Hoffmann-La Roche. The study is being done to assess the safety and efficacy of Phesgo (trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and rHuPH20 injection) in participants with previously untreated HER2-positive advanced breast cancer.
Drug: Sagopilone – Bayer AG
Sagopilone is currently under phase II, sponsored by Bayer AG. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a breast cancer emerging drug called ZK-Epothilone (ZK-Epo) in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Drug: DS-8201a - Daiichi Sanky o Co., Ltd.
Developed by Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd., the drug is currently under phase II. The study is conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination of a drug and an antibody.
Drug: Sacituzumab Tirumotecan - Merck KGaA
This drug is currently under phase III and is developed by Merck KGaA. It is being studied to compare sacituzumab tirumotecan as a single agent, and in combination with pembrolizumab.
