In recent decades, great progress has been made in the fi ght against cancer. Advances in molecular and genomic research have unveiled complexities and changed the perception of cancer, which we now know is more than 200 unique diseases. Continued research has expanded our knowledge of how cancer develops and how to target medicines for specifi c cancer types, which has resulted in more effective therapies for patients.
A cancer diagnosis once meant almost certain death but with new therapies, better testing, earlier diagnosis and follow-up care, patients are often able to live longer with a better quality of life. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), the number of cancer survivors living in the United States has increased from 3 million in 1971 to 13.7 million in 2012.
Although great progress has been made and continues to be made against cancer, it remains the second leading cause of death in the United States, behind heart disease, accounting for nearly 1 of every 4 deaths. The ACS estimates that in 2014, more than 1.6 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed and nearly 600,000 Americans will die from cancer, approximately 1,600 people per day.
America’s biopharmaceutical companies are responding to the needs of cancer patients, working to develop more and better treatments. Researchers are now exploring new high-tech weapons to fi ght the disease as well as ways to use existing medicines, either alone or in combination with other therapies, to treat various cancers. The 771 medicines and vaccines are either in clinical trials or awaiting review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and include:
• A monoclonal antibody for colorectal cancer that targets a cell surface protein that plays a role in tumor growth and metastases;

• A monoclonal antibody for non-small-cell lung cancer that blocks a signaling pathway allowing for immune responses that can recognize and destroy cancer cells;
• A medicine that targets and disrupts a signaling pathway associated with tumor growth in stomach cancer.
The development of new therapies would not be possible without the patients who volunteer to participate in clinical trials. Currently, there are 3,137 active clinical trials for cancer in the United States. Of those, 1,824 are now seeking volunteers to participate or have not yet started recruiting patients; the other 1,313 are ongoing but are not currently recruiting new patients.*
The progress made against cancer has resulted in better treatments that help extend lives, improve patients’ quality of life, and increase productivity contributing to economic growth. The hundreds of medicines being developed are our best hope for continuing that progress and lessening the burden of cancer. However, researching and developing new medicines remains a risky investment and a lengthy process. On average, it costs $1.2 billion and takes between 10–15 years to bring a new, effective medicine to patients. Despite those risks, America’s biopharmaceutical research companies are continuing their efforts to develop effective new therapies for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Medicines and Vaccines in Development to Treat Cancer Many of the medicines in the pipeline today are using novel approaches to attack cancer at the molecular level. Approximately 80 percent of cancer pipeline drugs are potentially fi rst-in-class treatments, according to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development. Among the 771 medicines and vaccines in development are potential treatments for:
Colorectal Cancer—A humanized monoclonal antibody in development for metastatic colorectal cancer targets the cell surface protein “endosialin,” which is expressed on cells that are part of the tumor blood vessel structure. In preclinical studies, blocking the function of endosialin inhibited tumor growth and metastases.
Liver Cancer—A medicine in development for hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) is a small molecule kinase inhibitor designed to selectively block transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling. The overexpression of TGF-beta in cells may enhance tumor growth and intensify metastases.

Lung Cancer—A fully human monoclonal antibody in development for non-small-cell lung cancer targets the PD-1 (programmed death-1) checkpoint receptor which is expressed on activated T-cells. Cancer cells may exploit the checkpoint pathway to hide from the immune system and protect the tumor. Blocking this pathway may allow for immune responses that recognize and destroy cancer cells. Another medicine which blocks the PD-1 receptor was recently approved by FDA for the treatment of malignant melanoma.
Pancreatic Cancer—In malignant solid tumors, oxygen levels are often low (called tumor hypoxia) relative to oxygen levels in healthy tissue. Tumor hypoxia is associated with tumor progression, metastases, and resistance to chemotherapy and radiation treatment. A medicine in development is activated when it reaches the hypoxic region of the tumor environment where it eventually kills tumor cells in its vicinity. The medicine is also being tested in patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
Stomach Cancer—A monoclonal antibody in testing for stomach cancer with high MET (mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor) expression is designed to inhibit hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor from binding to the c-MET receptor. The HGF/c-Met signaling pathway is
thought to play a role in tumor growth and metastases in many cancers, including stomach cancer. An exploratory biomarker analysis found that the addition of the medicine to chemotherapy improved median overall survival in patients with tumors that expressed high levels of MET protein.
Advances in Cancer TreatmentAs we continue to advance cancer treatment, progress can be seen in declining death rates from cancer and increases in cancer survivors. According to the ACS, the death rate from cancer has been steadily declining since the 1970s—declining more than 15 percent in the period from 2000-2011 alone. Five-year survival rates have increased 39 percent across all cancer types since 1975, with 2 out of 3 people diagnosed with cancer surviving at least fi ve years.
To sustain this progress in an environment of increasing pressure to contain health care costs, it is important to understand the valuable role new medicines play in improving patient outcomes. According to the ACS, 83 percent of survival gains are attributable to new treatments, including medicines. Some key advances in treatment include:
Personalized Medicines—Personalized medicines are therapeutics that are tailored to individual patients based on certain biologic and physiologic characteristics, such as genetic makeup. Patients can be identifi ed by their susceptibility to a certain disease or how they will likely respond to a specifi c therapy. By targeting therapies to patients most likely to benefi t, personalized medicines represent an important tool, as they may reduce the use of
Key Issues
“ � ere is no question that when we talk about turning the tide against cancer, the most exciting opportunities, the new opportunities in fact, are understanding the biology and applying that biology to new treatments. We are certainly at a turning point.”—J. Leonard Lichtenfeld, M.D., American Cancer Society

unnecessary and often costly treatments or procedures in patients who are unlikely to benefi t from them. Innovative personalized medicines make up 12 to 50 percent of the pipeline for all diseases, according to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development.
Targeted Therapies—Targeted therapies are designed to interfere with specifi c molecular targets involved in cancer cell growth or progression, whereas traditional chemotherapy acts against all rapidly dividing cells, including healthy ones. Several targeted therapies have been approved for use by the FDA. According to IMS Health, the role of targeted therapies in oncology treatment has grown from 11 percent in 2003 to 46 percent in 2013.
Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines—In the late 1990s, scientists began experimenting with new vaccines that could harness the power of the immune system to fi ght cancer rather than to prevent it. One type of therapeutic vaccine, called autologous cellular immunotherapy, takes a patient’s own immune cells and reprograms them to attack the cancer. The fi rst and only therapeutic cancer vaccine was approved by the FDA in 2010 to treat metastatic prostate cancer.
Preventive Vaccines—Preventive vaccines target viruses or other infectious agents that can cause or contribute to the development of cancer. They are intended to prevent people from being infected with those viruses and agents so that they do not develop cancer. For example, nearly all cases of cervical cancer can be attributed to human papillomavirus (HPV), with two HPV subtypes (types 16 and 18) alone causing 70 percent of cervical cancer cases. The FDA has

HOW CANCER COULD ECHO HIV SUCCESS
Innovations in cancer treatment could echo the success we have seen in HIV/AIDS treatment. Advances in medicines for HIV/AIDS have helped lower the death rate by 83 percent since the disease was fi rst recognized in 1981. Prior to 1995, when the fi rst antiretroviral medicine was approved by the FDA, an HIV diagnosis was a death sentence. Now, thanks to medicines developed by biopharmaceutical scientists and their research partners, it is a chronic condition with manageable costs, and patients are able to reach nearly full life expectancy.

approved vaccines to prevent infection by HPV types 16 and 18 and vaccines to prevent hepatitis B virus, which can cause liver cancer.
Value in Cancer Care in the United StatesNew cancer medicines bring tremendous value to cancer patients and the U.S. health care system. Medicines are an important part of cancer treatment but represent just a small portion of all cancer costs. When compared to total

health care spending, cancer care represents an even smaller portion of costs.
• Spending on cancer medicines represents less than 1 percent of all health care spending for all diseases —$25.9 billion out of $2,800 billion.1
• Cancer medicines represent 20 percent of total spending on cancer care.2
• Between 1988 and 2000, 23 million years of life were saved due to cancer treatment advances. During that time, the United States realized $1.9 trillion in value due to improved productivity, extended life, and other factors resulting from improved cancer treatment.3
• On average, privately insured cancer patients pay out-of-pocket more than 20 percent of their total prescription drug costs, compared to 4 percent of inpatient hospital care and 7 percent of outpatient care.4

Research Collaboration: Public-Private PartnershipsAs scientists probe deeper into the causes and signs of cancer, the amount of information has increased exponentially, and making sense of all the data is a colossal undertaking that no single individual or institution can handle alone.
As a result, biopharmaceutical research companies are working together and with academic medical centers, government, and non-profi t organizations to share, organize and make sense of huge volumes of information. Below are examples of collaboration to advance progress against cancer.
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a project to create a catalog (or atlas) of genomic changes associated with specifi c types of tumors to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer through the collection and analysis of tissue samples. Sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the National Human Genome Research Institute, the TCGA network includes scientists, bioinformaticians, bioethicists, doctors, nurses, advocates, and others. TCGA is currently focused on 32 tumor types, including nine rare cancers.

Lung-MAP (Lung Cancer Master Protocol) is a multi-drug, multi-arm, biomarker-driven clinical trial focused on developing new treatments for lung cancer. The trial will recruit patients with advanced squamous cell lung cancer, which represents approximately 25 percent of all lung cancers, from more than 500 medical centers in the United States. Unlike traditional clinical trials, Lung-MAP uses advanced molecular screening to match patients to an investigational treatment targeted to the genetic alterations driving their cancer. Lung-MAP is a joint effort by government, biopharmaceutical companies, patient advocacy groups, and research institutions designed to improve clinical trial effi ciency and make new targeted therapies in lung cancer available as quickly and safely as possible.
I-SPY 2 is a research collaboration among the Biomarkers Consortium, the FDA, the U.S. National Institutes of Health, and biopharmaceutical companies. I-SPY 2 uses genetic and biological markers from individual patient tumors and adaptive clinical trial design to develop new breast cancer medicines quicker by identifying which ones are most
effective in which patients and at a reduced cost. I-SPY 2 is focused on women with newly diagnosed, locally-advanced breast cancer and will test whether adding investigational drugs to standard chemotherapy is better than standard chemotherapy alone prior to having surgery.
The CEO Roundtable on Cancer is committed to improving the health of employees and making progress against cancer. The Roundtable is comprised of executives from diverse American corporations, nonprofi t organizations fi ghting cancer, and National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers. Programs initiated by the Roundtable include the CEO Cancer Gold Standard, a workplace-based wellness accreditation program that provides a framework for employers to lower the risk of cancer, detect it early, and ensure access to high-quality care. The Life Sciences Consortium brings together leading biopharmaceutical research companies focused on cancer in collaboration to effectively deliver new medicines to prevent and treat cancer and continue the emerging understanding of cancer biology.
RESEARCHING CANCER MEDICINES: SETBACKS AND STEPPING STONESWith the many advances made in cancer research, there are also setbacks. Researchers are discovering that cancer is actually a set of more than 200 extremely complex diseases. Finding medicines that effectively treat each one is an immense challenge. The path to new oncology drugs is littered with so-called failures that do not make it through human clinical trials to approval.
Although it is very disappointing to see a promising drug candidate cut from the pipeline, researchers learn from every setback and build upon each one of them to achieve success with future research and get effective therapies to patients.
A new PhRMA report looks at setbacks and approvals in melanoma, brain cancer and lung cancer between 1998 and 2014:
• Researchers have had recent successes in treating melanoma with the approval of seven new medicines, building on 96 medicines that didn’t make it through clinical trials.
• There has been progress against some subsets of lung cancer, but the disease remains deadly. Ten lung cancer medicines were approved, while another 167 potential medicines failed in clinical testing.
• Brain cancer continues to be a diffi cult cancer to treat despite concentrated research. There were three approvals and 75 unsuccessful candidate medicines.
Although these setbacks are valuable to researchers, they are also an indication of the diffi culty in developing medicines to treat cancer. These setbacks serve as a reminder that to make progress, we need a public policy framework that supports the drug development process as well as the promising science so that important innovations can reach patients.

Facts
• Cancer is the second leading cause of death by disease—nearly 1 of every 4 deaths—in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease.1
• Men have slightly less than a 1 in 2 lifetime risk of developing cancer; for women, the risk is a little more than 1 in 3. Approximately 77 percent of all cancers are diagnosed in people ages 55 and older.1
• This year alone, more than 1.6 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed, and an estimated 585,720 people are expected to die of cancer.1
• Approximately 13.7 million Americans with a history of cancer were alive in January 2012.1 The 5-year survival rate for all cancers diagnosed between 2004 and 2010 is 66 percent, up from 49 percent in the mid-70s.2
• Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. An estimated 159,260 deaths, accounting for about 27 percent of all cancer deaths, are expected to occur in 2014. From 2006 to 2010, rates decreased 2.9 percent per year in men and 1.4 percent per year in women.1
• Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death and accounts for 8.2 percent of all new cancer cases. It is more common in men than in women, and more common in African Americans.2
• Prostate cancer is the second leading cancer cause of death in men with nearly 30,000 deaths estimated this year. Prostate cancer death rates have been decreasing since the early 1990s in men of all races/ethnicities, though they remain more than twice as high in African Americans as in any other ethnicity.1
• An estimated 40,430 breast cancer deaths are expected in 2014, with men accounting for 430 of those. Breast cancer is the second cause of cancer death in women. From 2006 to 2010, rates decreased 3.0 percent per year in women under age 50 and 1.8 percent per year in women 50 and older. The decrease in breast cancer death rates represents improvements in early detection and treatment, and possibly decreased incidence.1
• This year nearly 300,000 new cases of gastrointestinal cancer will be diagnosed and nearly 150,000 deaths will occur in the United States.2
• Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death. The average survival rate from pancreatic cancer is low, in part because it is diffi cult to detect early. It is most frequently diagnosed among people aged 75-84.2
• Stomach cancer accounts for 1.3 percent of all new cancer cases and mostly affects older people with an average age of diagnosis at 69. Approximately 60 percent of people diagnosed with stomach cancer each year are age 65 or older.2
• Liver cancer and intrahepatic bile duct cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer death. It is also more common among Asian/Pacifi c Islander and American Indian/Alaska Native populations.2
• In 2014, an estimated 10,450 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed and 1,350 cancer deaths will occur in children ages 0-14. Among adolescents ages 15-19, 5,330 new cases will be diagnosed and 610 deaths will occur.1
• The most common cancers among children are acute lymphoblastic leukemia (26 percent), brain and central nervous system (CNS) cancers (21 percent), neuroblastoma (7 percent), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (6 percent).1
• Among adolescents the most common cancers are Hodgkin lymphoma (15 percent), thyroid carcinoma (11 percent), brain and CNS cancers (10 percent), and testicular germ cell tumors (8 percent).1
Overview
• Although extraordinary advances are being made against cancer, the disease remains a major health care challenge and a huge fi nancial burden, both nationally and internationally.3
• The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates the overall costs for cancer in 2009 at $216.6 billion: $86.6 billion for direct medical costs (total of all health expenditures) and $130 billion for indirect mortality costs (cost of lost productivity due to premature death).3
• Globally, 12.9 million new cancer cases cost $286 billion in 2009. In 2030, the 21.5 million projected new cancer cases will cost the world economy $458 billion.3

Defi nitionsApplication Submitted—An application for marketing has been submitted by the company to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Breakthrough Therapy—Upon request by a sponsor, the FDA can grant this designation to expedite the development and review of a drug or biologic intended, alone or in combination with one or more other drugs, to treat a serious or life threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that it may demonstrate substan-tial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically-signi� cant endpoints, such as substantial treatment e� ects observed early in clinical development. If a drug or biologic is designated as a breakthrough therapy, the FDA will expedite the development and review. With this designation, all Fast Track features convey to the medicine.
Fast Track—Upon request by a sponsor, the FDA can grant this designation to facilitate the development and expedite the review of a drug or biologic to treat a serious condition and � ll an unmet medical need. When considering a biopharmaceutical company’s request for Fast Track designation for an investigational drug or biologic, the FDA evaluates whether it will a� ect factors such as survival, day-to-day functioning, or the likelihood that the disease, if left untreated, will progress from a less severe condition to a more serious one, and whether a condition can be adequately addressed by available therapy. With Fast Track designation, early and frequent communication between the FDA and the biopharmaceutical company is encouraged throughout the entire drug development and review process to help to quickly resolve any questions or issues that arise, potentially leading to an earlier approval and access by patients.
Orphan Designation—Upon request by a sponsor, the FDA can grant special status (“orphan status”) to a drug or biologic to treat a rare disease or condition. In order to receive an orphan designation, a qualifying drug or biologic must be intended for the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of a rare disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States, or that affects more than 200,000 persons but is not expected to recover the costs of its development and marketing.
Phase I—Researchers test the investigational drug or biologic in a small group of people, usually between 20 and 100 healthy adult volunteers, to evaluate its initial safety and tolerability profile, determine a safe dosage range, and identify potential side effects.
Phase II—The investigational drug or biologic is given to volunteer patients, usually between 100 and 500, to determine whether it is e� ective, identify an optimal dose, and to further evaluate its short-term safety.
Phase III—The investigational drug or biologic is given to a larger, more diverse patient population, often involving between 1,000 and 5,000 patients (but sometimes many more), to generate statistically signi� cant evidence to con� rm its safety and e� ectiveness. Phase III studies are the longest studies and usually take place in multiple sites around the world.
The content of this report has been obtained through public, government and industry sources, and the Adis “R&D Insight” database based on the latest information.

The Drug Discovery, Development and Approval Process
The U.S. system of new drug approvals is perhaps the most rigorous in the world. It takes 10-15 years, on average, for an investigational drug to travel from the lab to U.S. patients, according to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development. Tens of thousands of compounds may be screened early in development, but only one ultimately receives approval. Even medicines that reach clinical trials have only a 16 percent chance of being approved.
On average, it costs a company $1.2 billion, including the cost of failures, to get one new medicine from the laboratory to U.S. patients, according to a 2007 study by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development. More recent studies estimate the cost to be even higher.
Once a new compound has been identifi ed in the laboratory, medicines are usually developed as follows:
Preclinical Testing—A pharmaceutical company conducts laboratory and animal studies to show biological activity of the compound against the targeted disease, and the compound is evaluated for safety.
Investigational New Drug Application (IND)—After completing preclinical testing, a company
fi les an IND with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin to test the drug in people. The IND shows results of previous experiments; how, where and by whom the new studies will be conducted; the chemical structure of the compound; how it is thought to work in the body; any toxic effects found in the animal studies; and how the compound is manufactured. All clinical trials must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) where the trials will be conducted. Progress reports on clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to FDA and the IRB.
Clinical Trials, Phase I—Researchers test the drug in a small group of people, usually between 20 and 100 healthy adult volunteers, to evaluate its initial safety and tolerability profi le, determine a safe dosage range, and identify potential side effects.
Clinical Trials, Phase II—The drug is given to volunteer patients, usually between 100 and 500, to see if it is effective, identify an optimal dose, and to further evaluate its short-term safety.
Clinical Trials, Phase III—The drug is given to a larger, more diverse patient population, often involving between 1,000 and 5,000 patients
(but sometimes many more), to generate statistically signifi cant evidence to confi rm its safety and effectiveness. They are the longest studies, and usually take place in multiple sites around the world.
New Drug Application (NDA)/Biologic License Application (BLA)—Following the completion of all three phases of clinical trials, a company analyzes all of the data and fi les an NDA or BLA with FDA if the data successfully demonstrate both safety and effectiveness. The applications contain all of the scientifi c information that the company has gathered. Applications typically run 100,000 pages or more.
Approval—Once FDA approves an NDA or BLA, the new medicine becomes available for physicians to prescribe. A company must continue to submit periodic reports to FDA, including any cases of adverse reactions and appropriate quality-control records. For some medicines, FDA requires additional trials (Phase IV) to evaluate long-term effects.
Discovering and developing safe and effective new medicines is a long, diffi cult, and expensive process. PhRMA member companies invested an estimated $51.1 billion in research and development in 2013.
Developing a new medicine takes an average of 10-15 years. Of the tens of thousands of compounds screened, only one is approved.
