Angiogenesis Inhibitors:
A Detailed Analysis of Emerging Compounds is a comprehensive
150-page report that evaluates 52 inhibitors in or near clinical
trials plus 13 different categories of compounds in pre-clinical
development or research for the treatment of cancer, psoriasis,
ophthalmic diseases, and arthritis. BioInsights estimates the probabilities
of FDA approval for all 52 first and second generation inhibitors
based on a comprehensive database of pre-clinical and clinical data,
mechanism of action, estimated launch date, dosage, delivery, company
support, and a "wild card" assessment for each compound.
For the 19 compounds most likely to be approved, BioInsights estimates
future revenues and net present values if the compounds are approved,
and then calculates current valuations. The average valuation is
$26 million, which indicates that this class of therapeutics is
emerging and, as yet, unproven. There are many promising compounds,
however, such as Combretastatin from Oxigene, Endostatin from EntreMed,
ABX-IL8 from Abgenix, Thalidomide from Celgene, and SU101 from Sugen
(Pharmacia & Upjohn). In addition, there are many promising
next generation compounds and strategies such as naturally occurring
inhibitors from Human Genome Sciences, vascular targeting peptides
from Techniclone and ILEX Oncology, and small molecule inhibitors
from Abbott Laboratories, Schering-Plough, and Warner-Lambert. In
summary, this report details the emergence of three generations
of angiogenesis inhibitors over the next five to ten years.
