By: GlobalData The malignant mesothelioma therapeutics market is relatively small as compared to other cancer markets due to the small patient pool. Despite this, untapped opportunities exist for drugs offering increased progression free survival (PFS) and improved safety profiles. Current competition in the global malignant mesothelioma therapeutics market is weak. There is only one approved chemotherapeutic regimen, Alimta in combination with cisplatin, which is the standard first line therapy. There is no second line treatment option available for this disease. This disease mainly occurs in the later stage of life making drug tolerance an important criterion in selection of treatment regimens. The standard treatment option, Alimta, alters haemotological parameters such as thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and thus has a low safety profile. The malignant mesothelioma pipeline is strong with the molecules having novel mechanisms of action. These pipeline molecules have shown better safety and efficacy results in their respective clinical trials. For example, NGR-hTNF, did not exhibit grade 3-4 toxicity, with grade 1-2 chills observed in the first infusions of the trial.

Molecules in the Phase III include NGR-Htnf, Onconase, Zolinza (vorinostat) GlobalData’s analysis indicates that the unmet need for malignant mesothelioma treatment is high due to lack of effective and tolerable treatments. The current drug regimen used in the treatment of malignant mesothelioma offers moderate efficacy with a low safety profile. Thus, there is a need for novel drugs that can treat the underlying cause of the disease. The malignant mesothelioma pipeline is strong with several molecules being first-in-class. These first-in-class molecules have distinct advantages over currently used products in terms of improved progression free survival, efficacy and safety profiles.
