COVID-19 accelerated mRNA vaccine development, leading to record profits and FDA approval of mRNA vaccines. Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech are expanding their mRNA pipelines into other diseases, with Moderna's RSV vaccine recently approved. The mRNA therapeutics market is projected to reach $68 billion by 2030. mRNA technology is favored for its rapid development potential compared to traditional vaccines. Five mRNA vaccine candidates, including Pfizer/BioNTech's influenza vaccine and Moderna's combination COVID-19/influenza vaccine, are highlighted as near-future prospects.

India's pharmaceutical industry is rapidly advancing in cancer drug development, driven by rising cancer cases and government initiatives like GST reductions on cancer drugs.

AstraZeneca's Imfinzi in bladder cancer reduced death risk by 25%; Merck and Eisai's combo in liver cancer cut progression or death risk by a third; Bristol's lung cancer approach faced criticism for 'cherry-picking' subgroups.

Early switch to atezolizumab after vemurafenib plus cobimetinib in BRAF V600-positive melanoma showed improved OS at 4 and 5 years in the ImmunoCobiVem trial, but not statistically significant. Rapid progression after switch to immune checkpoint inhibition was observed in some patients.

Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) showed improved survival over ipilimumab (Yervoy) in stage III/IV melanoma patients, with 10-year OS rates of 34% vs 23.6% and MSS rates of 45.2% vs 31.3%. Pembrolizumab's median OS was 32.7 months vs 15.9 months for ipilimumab, and median modified PFS was 9.4 months vs 3.8 months. Patients who responded well to initial pembrolizumab treatment had significant long-term benefits, with 80% OS rate after 94 weeks of treatment. These results support pembrolizumab as a standard care for advanced melanoma.

Enhertu demonstrated superior efficacy in treating HER2+ breast cancer brain metastases at ESMO 2024, outperforming Kadcyla. Enhertu's 12-month PFS was 61.6% with an ORR of 79% for CNS metastases, maintaining 90.3% OS in active BCBM patients. Analysts predict Enhertu will dominate the ADC market, reaching $11.2bn by 2030, while Kadcyla and Tukysa are projected to achieve $838m and $1.2bn respectively.

Pfizer's Phase 2 study of ponsegromab met primary endpoint, showing 5.6% mean body weight increase at highest dose in cancer cachexia patients. Improvements in appetite, cachexia symptoms, physical activity, and muscle mass were observed. Ponsegromab was safe and well-tolerated. Registration-enabling studies are planned for 2025.

The United States RNA Polymerase Inhibitor Market is projected to reach USD xx.x billion by 2031, driven by advancements in clinical diagnostics and precision medicine. Key players include Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, and Pfizer. Market segments include types like Veliparib and applications in hospital, retail, and online pharmacies. Regional analysis highlights North America's dominance, Europe's strategic alliances, and Asia-Pacific's growing energy demand.

Pfizer offers a 5.7% dividend yield, highest among major drug manufacturers, but its 436% payout ratio raises sustainability concerns.
