LONDON, Aug.8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- How is Ibrance faring? Is Kisqali expected to be a threat?
Having dominated the HER2-positive breast cancer space for many years, Roche's blockbuster drug Herceptin is likely to face the threat of biosimilar trastuzumab in the coming years; KOLs weigh in on how biosimilar trastuzumab may be accepted by physicians and patients, its potential usage in different settings, as well as its chances to become the preferred agent in the HER2-positive space. Meanwhile, KOLs discuss how Roche's Perjeta is setting itself up for expanded use. Experts also give their views on how Pfizer's Ibrance is faring in the HER2-negative/HR-positive space and what challenges lie ahead for this drug, including the arrival of Novartis' Kisqali and Eli Lilly's abemaciclib. The potential usage of PARP inhibitors and PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors in triple-negative breast cancer is also explored. Twelve US and EU KOLs offer their candid insights on these issues and more.
In this 6 US and six EU KOLs offer their candid insights on 6 marketed therapies and 12 pipeline drugs.

Quotes
"Alpelisib is clearly more selective or alpha specific. This should allow for better targeting but we'll see if that pans out clinically. I think we need to be careful with the toxicity of these drugs."EU Key Opinion Leader
"There are still studies that need to be completed to address the issue of sequencing of different therapies. The bulk of the evidence does support first-line use with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, but then after you get beyond first-line therapy, it starts to become a bit more confusing." US Key Opinion Leader
