Advancements in targeted therapies have transformed the treatment landscape for NSCLC, enabling precision medicine approaches that improve outcomes. These therapies focus on specific genetic mutations or molecular drivers, such as EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, and MET, which are commonly implicated in NSCLC. Drugs targeting these mutations, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), offer significant benefits, including higher response rates, improved progression-free survival, and fewer off-target effects compared to traditional chemotherapy. Additionally, continuous innovation has led to the development of next-generation inhibitors that overcome resistance to earlier therapies, further enhancing their efficacy.
DelveInsight's 'Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Pipeline Insight 2025' report provides comprehensive global coverage of pipeline NSCLC therapies in various stages of clinical development, with major pharmaceutical companies advancing the pipeline space and future growth potential of the NSCLC pipeline domain.
Key Takeaways from the Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Pipeline Report:
- DelveInsight's NSCLC pipeline report depicts a robust space with 100+ active players working to develop 120+ pipeline therapies for NSCLC treatment.
- Key NSCLC companies such as Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, AbbVie, Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Suzhou Puhe Pharmaceutical Technology Co., LTD, Exelixis, Genmab, OncoResponse, Inc., Next Point Therapeutics, Inc., Light Chain Bioscience - Novimmune SA, Immunitas Therapeutics, Hansoh BioMedical R&D Company, Mythic Therapeutics, Shanghai Henlius Biotech, and others are evaluating new NSCLC drugs to improve the treatment landscape.
- Promising NSCLC pipeline therapies such as V940, Telisotuzumab Vedotin, QL1706, YK-029A, XL092, PRO1184, OR2805, NPX267, NI-1801, IMT-009, HS-20117, MYTX-011, HLX301, and others are under different phases of NSCLC clinical trials.
Recent developments include:
- In December 2024, the FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation to sacituzumab tirumotecan (MK-2870/SKB264/) for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- In September 2024, AbbVie announced that it had submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for accelerated approval of elotuzumab vedotin (Teliso-V) in adult patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild type, nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with c-Met protein overexpression.
- In August 2024, the FDA granted Fast track designation to Deltacel (KB-GDT-01) with low-dose radiation therapy to potentially treat patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease progressed on 2 or more prior lines of standard-of-care therapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, platinum-based chemotherapy, and targeted therapy.
- In July 2024, Nuvalent announced the first patient dosed in HEROEX-1 Phase Ia/Ib clinical trial of NVL-330, its novel HER2-selective Inhibitor.
- In April 2024, ABVC BioPharma announced that the Company and its affiliate Rgene Corporation entered into a comprehensive licensing agreement with OncoX for the drug ABV-1501.
- In April 2024, Hansoh Pharma announced that the Class 1 new drug "HS-10504 tablet" independently developed by its subsidiary Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Hansoh Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. had obtained the clinical trial notification letter issued by the National Medical Products Administration of the People's Republic of China.
- In February 2024, the FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation to NVL-520 as a treatment for patients with ROS1-positive metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received prior treatment with at least 2 ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
