Cancer Metabolism Based Therapeutics, 2017-2030


Dublin, May 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Cancer Metabolism Based Therapeutics, 2017-2030" report to their offering.

Cancer metabolism is based on the principle that cancer cells, as compared to normal cells, have different metabolic activities in order to support their enhanced energy and anabolic requirements. The pioneering discovery by Otto Warburg in the middle of the 20th century led to the observation that metabolic activity in tumor tissues leads to a ten-fold increase in production of lactate (from glucose) under aerobic conditions. This revelation generated a significant interest and led industry stakeholders to target metabolic pathways in an effort to find the treatment of cancer. In addition, several academic players have also initiated studies to explore the functional consequences of alterations in various metabolic pathways.

The idea behind therapeutic strategies that target cancer metabolism is to limit/modulate the supply of crucial nutrients in cancer cells in order to induce cell death. Over the years, experimental and conceptual advances in this field have resulted in a better understanding of the role of metabolic pathways for the treatment of cancer. Owing to the complex nature of these pathways, innovation in this domain has been gradual. However, the knowledge that metabolic adaptations in cancer cells promote their malignant properties has led to the development of novel therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment; selective inhibition of altered metabolic pathways in cancer cells is believed to be a highly promising approach.

Currently, there are several molecules that are under preclinical and clinical evaluation. Extensive research is currently being carried out to explore the potential of certain enzymes of metabolic pathways to act as targets for the treatment of cancer. The alterations in metabolic pathways in cancer cells are often mediated by mutations in oncogenes and cell signaling pathways. However, with the recognition of specific enzymes within each metabolic pathway, it is anticipated that drugs targeting these enzymes are likely to have high efficacy in treating cancer with minimal side-effects.

The "Cancer Metabolism Based Therapeutics Market, 2017-2030" report provides an extensive study on the current landscape of the emerging pipeline of novel drugs that target metabolic pathways in cancer cells and offers a comprehensive discussion on the likely future potential.

Despite the fact that the field of cancer metabolism therapeutics is still in early stages, there are many active players in this area. A larger proportion of players (on the basis of number of molecules) are small-sized and start-up companies. In fact, well-known big pharma companies have come together with smaller players to support discovery and development of such therapies. Our research indicates that there are several players with mid/late-stage clinical candidates that are likely to enter the market in the coming decade; examples include Agios Pharmaceuticals, Celgene, Polaris Group, Bio-Cancer Treatment International, BERG Health, Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals, Taiho Pharmaceutical, Novartis and 3-V Biosciences.

The primary focus is on drugs that lead to metabolic reprogramming in cancer cells by altering/inhibiting the activity of key enzymes/transporters that are a part of glucose metabolism, amino acid metabolism, TCA cycle, lipid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism and pentose phosphate pathway. The scope includes novel products that are being specifically developed to target altered metabolic pathways and key enzymes/amino acids involved in the metabolism of cancer cells. Examples of such enzymes/amino acids include isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutant (IDH 1), arginine, glutamine, MTH1, L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase (PFKFB3), choline kinase (ChoK), glucose transporter-1 (Glut-1) and hexokinase II. Specifically, certain drugs based on amino acid metabolism are being developed under the class of immuno-oncology drugs; these have been excluded from the scope of this document.

The overall pipeline comprises of 48 molecules that are under development for the treatment of a variety of oncological indications. Of these, 20 molecules are undergoing clinical evaluation while others (28) are in discovery/preclinical stages. This unexploited and promising market has its hopes pinned on multiple start-ups and small-sized companies, which have received significant financial support from strategic investors and venture capital firms in the recent past.

One of the key objectives of this report was to understand the current activity and the future potential of the market. The study provides a detailed market forecast and opportunity analysis from 2017 to 2030. The research, analysis and insights presented in this report are backed by a detailed understanding of the therapies targeting cancer metabolism and other targets closely associated with them. To account for uncertaintiesassociated with the development of novel therapeutics and add robustness to our model, we have provided three scenarios for our market forecast, namely the conservative, base and optimistic scenarios.
