Bladder Cancer Drug Pipeline Analysis Report

According to the World Health Organization, bladder cancer is the 9th most common cancer globally. Statistics say that in 2022, approximately 600,000 people were diagnosed with bladder cancer and around 220,000 deaths were encountered with the condition. Several companies are conducting clinical trials for their drugs intended to combat bladder cancer. Such initiatives indicate a promising future for bladder cancer treatment in the coming years.

Report Coverage

Bladder Cancer Drug Pipeline report by Expert Market Research gives comprehensive insights on the bladder cancer drugs currently undergoing clinical trials and covers various aspects related to the details for each of these drugs under development. The report includes an analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies. Moreover, the analysis based on efficacy and safety measures outcomes published for the trials will be covered including their adverse effects in bladder cancer.

The detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration and ongoing product development activities related to bladder cancer are covered.

Bladder Cancer Drug Pipeline Outlook

Bladder cancer occurs when there is an uncontrollable growth of cells in the bladder lining. Initially these cancerous cells affect the normal functions of bladder and later spread to surrounding areas. Bladder cancer is of two types – non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer and muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is considered early stage and represents about 70-75% of all diagnoses while muscle-invasive bladder cancer is considered as an advanced stage and represents 25-30% of diagnoses. Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men.

The symptoms of bladder cancer include blood in the urine (hematuria), which may lead to bright red urine, painful and frequent urge to urinate, as well as back pain among others. The treatment options for bladder cancer depend on factors such as the grade and stage of the cancer. It includes chemotherapy in the bladder, chemotherapy for the whole body, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy and surgery. The approaches for bladder cancer surgery include transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), cystectomy, neobladder reconstruction, and continent urinary reservoir among others.

The ongoing research on clinical trials aims to identify efficient therapeutic targets, development of novel therapies which are emerging as promising treatment alternatives for bladder cancer.

For instance, in 2023, the U.S. FDA approved a two-drug combination of pembrolizumab (EV/pembro) and enfortumab vedotin to treat metastatic urothelial bladder cancer. The results of clinical trial showed that EV/pembro was better than cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy as first-line treatment. The study results also highlighted a reduction of 55% in disease progression compared to cisplatin-based chemotherapy treatment.

Mayo Clinic is conducting another trial for a promising drug and is under phase III. The study is being conducted to assess the efficacy of immunotherapy for treatment-resistant non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

The report covers the pathophysiology and epidemiology of bladder cancer, developing treatment, and the progress and future aspects of ongoing clinical trials for the treatment of bladder cancer in detail.
