LONDON, June 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The prestigious Fierce 15 biotech award has come to symbolize novelty and being at the forefront of biotechnology development amongst privately held businesses. The winners of this award are aiming at breakthroughs and big things, not at being 'me-too'.
This unique product, the 'Fierce 15 in Oncology Drug Pipeline Update' gathers the last five years (2010-2014) of Fierce 15 awards and identifies that no less than 45 of these biotech companies who are developing cancer drugs. This is a solid 60% of all companies given the award.
Fierce 15 companies are fast movers and to date no less than eleven out of the 45 companies are public companies and four have been acquired, namely Amira Pharmaceuticals, Aragon Pharmaceuticals, Avila Therapeutics and Plexxikon.
FibroGen is the oldest among them, founded in 1993, otherwise all others are from the beginning of 2000 to present day. Among the very latest of the start-ups you will find Jounce Therapeutics, Juno Therapeutics and Navitor Pharmaceuticals.
Available for the first time, Fierce 15 in Oncology lets you perform detailed pipeline analysis on their collective and very impressive pipeline of more than 180 drugs, spanning from Discovery to Marketed. Thirteen drugs have one or more orphan drug designations and one drug has received breakthrough therapy designation. Key technologies among this group of companies include CAR-T, TCRs, Immuno-oncology, Immune checkpoints, Antibodies etc.
There are today 46 companies plus partners developing 122 Fierce 15 drugs in 326 developmental projects in cancer. In addition, there is 1 suspended drug and the accumulated number of ceased drugs over the last years amount to another 30 drugs. Fierce 15 In Oncology Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to 94 different targets. All included targets have been cross-referenced for the presence of mutations associated with human cancer. To date 87 out of the 90 studied drug targets so far have been recorded with somatic mutations. The software application lets you narrow in on these mutations and links out to the mutational analysis for each of the drug targets for detailed information. All drugs targets are further categorized on in the software application by 37 classifications of molecular function and with pathway referrals to BioCarta, KEGG, NCI-Nature and NetPath.
