Summary
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common cancer, and its incidence is growing. The term head and neck cancer (HNC) refers to a number of malignancies that usually begin in the squamous cells (90% of HNCs) that line the moist, mucosal surfaces inside the head and neck. These cancers develop inside the mouth, the nose and the throat.
HNCs can also initially develop in the salivary glands; however, these are relatively uncommon. Salivary glands contain many different types of cells that can become cancerous, so there are many different types of salivary gland cancers. Relatively rare HNC malignancies include acinic cell adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland (a form of salivary gland cancer), eye cancer (retinoblastoma), and ear cancer.
The annual incidence of HNCs worldwide is more than 0.5 million cases, with around 0.3 million related deaths occurring each year. In terms of the initial site of development, around 44% of HNCs involve the oral cavity, more than 30% the larynx, and around 25% the pharynx. The incidence of tobacco-related HNC is decreasing, but the incidence of cancer due to the human papillomavirus (HPV) continues to increase at a rate of 2-4% per year. HNC is most common in the middle aged, with a peak incidence rate between the ages of 55 and 64, and a median age of diagnosis of 62.
The HNC market is characterized by a small selection of marketed drug options, consisting of chemotherapies, targeted therapies (anti-EGFR), and immunotherapies (PD1/PD-L1 inhibitor). Historically, cytotoxic chemotherapies have made up the bulk of the HNC market. Little competition currently exists in the HNC market, leaving an area of considerable opportunity for interested newcomers. Currently, four targeted therapies are available in the APAC HNC market, which are Erbitux, BIOMAb EGFR, Opdivo and Keytruda. The remainder of this market is composed of generics. Recent additions to the market have highlighted that the treatment landscape is diversifying and becoming less reliant on chemotherapy options.
With the approval of Keytruda in Australia, and Opdivo in Australia, South Korea and Japan, there has been an increase in targeted therapy options. Additionally avelumab (a PD-L1 inhibitor) is likely to be approved in APAC countries at the end of the forecast period, as it is currently undergoing Phase III trials in Japan, Australia and South Korea. A number of mAbs are in development in HNC for the inhibition of various different pathways and signaling systems. Many companies are following a strategy of developing products with similar mechanisms of action to those of existing products already approved in either HNC or other oncology indications. EGFR and PD-1/PD-L1 are the most commonly addressed targets in the current pipeline.
However, there are also many innovative products in the HNC pipeline, which reflects a deepening scientific understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of HNC and the growing list of molecules that have been implicated in the initiation and progression of the disease.
