Colorectal Cancer Treatment Market

ASCO suggests that individuals with mCRC eligible for EGFR inhibitor treatment should undergo testing for RAS gene mutations in their tumors. If a tumor shows a mutated RAS gene, ASCO advises against the use of EGFR inhibitors. Moreover, the FDA now states that both cetuximab and panitumumab should only be administered to individuals whose tumors have non-mutated (referred to as wild-type) RAS genes.

Therapies targeting anti-angiogenesis aim to halt the formation of new blood vessels. This treatment category includes medications such as AVASTIN (bevacizumab), STIVARGA (regorafenib), ZALTRAP (ziv-aflibercept), and CYRAMZA (ramucirumab). These drugs are often used alongside FOLFIRI chemotherapy as a second-line option for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Conversely, medications that inhibit EGFR can also be effective in restraining the advancement of CRC. Among the commonly used EGFR inhibitors for mCRC are ERBITUX (cetuximab) and VECTIBIX (panitumumab). Several sources indicate that cetuximab and panitumumab may not be as effective for tumors with specific mutations in the RAS gene.

Recent Developments in the Colorectal Cancer Market

In February 2024, KRAZATI, in combination with cetuximab, received US FDA Priority Review for treating previously treated KRAS G12C-mutated metastatic CRC.

In August 2023, the European Commission approved LONSURF (trifluridine/tipiracil) with bevacizumab for treating mCRC in patients who received two prior anti-cancer treatments, including chemotherapies and targeted agents.

In November 2023, the US FDA approved Takeda’s FRUZAQLA for adults with mCRC after prior treatment with specific chemotherapies and targeted therapies.

Emerging Colorectal Cancer Therapies and Key Companies

Some of the drugs in the Colorectal Cancer pipeline include Adagrasib (Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS)/Mirati Therapeutics), ENHERTU (trastuzumab deruxtecan) (Daiichi Sankyo/AstraZeneca), ELI-002 (Elicio Therapeutics), and others.

KRAZATI (adagrasib) is an oral small-molecule inhibitor specifically designed to effectively target and inhibit the KRAS G12C mutation. This characteristic of sustained target inhibition is crucial for treating cancers with this mutation, given that the KRAS G12C protein replenishes itself approximately every 24-48 hours.

In 2022, the US FDA recognized the significance of KRAZATI's potential by granting it breakthrough therapy designation (BTD). This designation was for its use in combination with cetuximab for patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) carrying the KRAS G12C mutation. These patients had experienced disease progression despite prior treatment with chemotherapy and an anti-VEGF therapy.

Moving forward, in February 2024, the US FDA accepted a supplemental New Drug Application for KRAZATI combined with cetuximab. This application aims to establish KRAZATI as a prioritized treatment option for patients with locally advanced or metastatic CRC, who have previously been treated and harbor the KRAS G12C mutation.

Trastuzumab deruxtecan stands as the primary antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting HER2 in Daiichi Sankyo's oncology lineup and represents the most advanced program within AstraZeneca's ADC Scientific platform. Crafted using Daiichi Sankyo's specialized DXd ADC technology, this medication consists of a HER2 monoclonal antibody fused with a groundbreaking topoisomerase I inhibitor payload through a tetra peptide-based linker.
Currently undergoing investigation in two Phase II clinical trials—NCT04744831 (DESTINY-CRC02) and NCT04639219 (DESTINY-PanTumor01)—the drug is being assessed for its efficacy in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer expressing HER2.

Furthermore, as of December 2023, ENHERTU has received two Breakthrough Therapy Designations (BTDs) for use in adults facing unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive solid tumors that have progressed after prior therapies, offering a viable option for those with limited alternatives. It also received BTDs for patients with HER2-positive metastatic CRC who have undergone two or more previous treatment regimens.

Colorectal Cancer: Overview

Colorectal cancer stands as the third most prevalent form of cancer, often resulting in fatalities due to its tendency to metastasize. When colorectal cancer spreads to organs such as the lungs or liver, it is termed metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The primary locations for the tumor in CRC encompass the right colon, transverse colon, left colon, rectosigmoid, and rectum. Detecting colorectal cancer in its initial phases can be difficult as early symptoms may be subtle or entirely absent. Typically, signs of colorectal cancer only become apparent once the disease progresses beyond stage 1. The staging process post-diagnosis establishes how far the cancer has spread, classifying it as localized, regional, distant, or of unknown extent. Approximately 75% of cases are identified early, with the remaining diagnosed at later stages. Progression from early to advanced stages impacts between 35% to 50% of patients.
