This Market Spotlight report covers the Biliary Tract Cancer market, comprising key pipeline drugs, clinical trials, upcoming and regulatory events, patent information, a 10-year disease incidence forecast, and licensing and acquisition deals.

Key Takeaways

    --  The author estimates that in 2016, there were approximately 716,000
        incident cases of biliary tract cancer worldwide, and forecasts that
        number to increase to 784,000 incident cases by 2025.
    --  The majority of industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development
        for biliary tract cancer are in Phase II. Therapies in mid-to-late-stage
        development for biliary tract cancer focus on a wide variety of targets,
        with the majority being administered via the oral route.
    --  High-impact upcoming events include topline Phase III trial results for
        derazantinib. There were only three licensing and asset acquisition
        activities involving gallbladder and biliary tract cancer drugs during
        2012-17. The exclusive acquisition agreement signed in 2017 between
        Mundipharma and CellAct for $250m for the acquisition of CAP7-1 was the
        only deal with disclosed deal value during the period.
    --  The clinical trials distribution across Phase I-IV indicates that the
        majority of trials for biliary tract neoplasms been in the early and
        mid-phases of development, with 94% of trials in Phase I-II, and only 6%
        in Phase III.
    --  The US has a substantial lead in the number of biliary tract neoplasms
        clinical trials globally. The UK leads the major EU markets, while Japan
        has the top spot in Asia.
    --  Clinical trial activity in the biliary tract neoplasms space is
        dominated by completed trials. AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and Sanofi have
        the highest number of completed clinical trials for biliary tract
        neoplasms, with three completed trials each.
    --  Eli Lily has carried out the most Phase II trials in biliary tract
        neoplasms space, followed by Sanofi and AstraZeneca
