2019 Breast Cancer Therapy Trends: KOL Insights - Major Factors Disrupting the Space

Dublin, July 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Therapy Trends KOL Insight: Breast Cancer [2019]" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

What impact will the Kadcyla KATHERINE study have?

KOLs discuss how the Phase III KATHERINE study with Roche's Kadcyla is expected to change current treatment practice. Experts also give their views on pipeline agents that could disrupt the current HER2-positive treatment paradigm, such as Daiichi Sankyo/AstraZeneca's trastuzumab deruxtecan and MacroGenics' margetuximab.

In the HER2-negative/HR-positive space, experts provide insights on Pfizer's CDK4/6 inhibitor, Ibrance, and whether Novartis' Kisqali and Eli Lilly's Verzenio are succeeding in taking a slice of the market. KOLs speculate on alpelisib's SOLAR-1 data and how this agent could be positioned in the HER2-negative/HR-positive space.

AstraZeneca/Merck & Co.'s Lynparza and Pfizer's Talzenna are discussed as therapies for BRCA-mutated triple-negative breast cancer, while KOLs give their views on the recent launch of Roche's Tecentriq, as well as pipeline agents such as Immunomedics' sacituzumab govitecan and Roche's ipatasertib.
