Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/03/2013 -- Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the most common lung cancer, and the second-most common cancer in men and women. Historically, the treatment paradigm has centered around chemotherapy. However, the launch of targeted therapies for patients with specific biomarkers has begun to fragment the NSCLC treatment landscape into smaller niche patient populations. Over the forecast period, this trend will continue with the launch of multiple new drugs in several new drug classes to address the high unmet need among NSCLC patients, and provide new treatment options for previously underserved populations. Launch of premium-priced drug candidates combined with increasing incident cases of the disease will be major drivers of growth in the major markets.

Novartis' LDK378 is a second-generation oral inhibitor of ALK that is under investigation in Phase I and II trials as a second-line treatment in ALK-positive NSCLC patients. It is delivered as a daily oral monotherapy. In March 2013, LDK378 was awarded Breakthrough Therapy status by the FDA.
