Crizotinib is a Small Molecule owned by Pfizer, and is involved in 74 clinical trials, of which 44 were completed, 27 are ongoing, and 3 are planned.

Crizotinib is an inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases including ALK, Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor (HGFR, c-Met), ROS1 (c-ros), and Recepteur d'Origine Nantais (RON). Translocations can affect the ALK gene resulting in the expression of oncogenic fusion proteins. The formation of ALK fusion proteins results in activation and dysregulation of the gene's expression and signaling which can contribute to increased cell proliferation and survival in tumors expressing these proteins. Crizotinib demonstrated concentration-dependent inhibition of ALK, ROS1, and c-Met phosphorylation in cell-based assays using tumor cell lines and demonstrated antitumor activity in mice bearing tumor xenografts that expressed EML4- or NPM-ALK fusion proteins or c-Met.

The revenue for Crizotinib is expected to reach a total of $3.1bn through 2038. This change impacts the valuation of this asset and is an important factor to understand the current value of the drug in a clinical process. View the complete picture with the Crizotinib NPV Report.

Crizotinib Overview

Crizotinib (Xalkori) is a pyrazolylpyridine derivative acts as anti-cancer agent. It is formulated as hard gelatin capsules for oral route of administration. Xalkori is a prescription medicine used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is advanced or has spread to other parts of the body and is caused by a defect in a gene called ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase). It is also indicated for the treatment of patients with ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Xalkori is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive as detected by an FDA-approved test. Xalkori also indictaed as first-line treatment of adults with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Xalkori is indicated to treat patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are ROS1-positive and as a monotherapy in the treatment of patients with ROS1-positive locally advanced (not amenable to curative therapy) or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Xalkori is indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 year of age and older and young adults with relapsed or refractory, systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) that is ALK-positive and indication for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with unresectable, recurrent, or refractory inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) that is ALK-positive. 

The drug candidate is under development for treatment of advanced malignancies including anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), uveal melanoma, metastatic and pediatric colorectal cancer, metastatic breast cancer, gastric cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, metastatic ovarian cancer, metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma, metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (hepatic carcinoma), neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, clear cell sarcoma, anaplastic thyroid cancer, metastatic urothelial cancer, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and glioblastoma multiforme as first and second line of therapy. It can administered through oral route.

GlobalData

GlobalData, the leading provider of industry intelligence, provided the underlying data, research, and analysis used to produce this article.

To create this model, GlobalData takes into account factors including patent law, known and projected regulatory approval processes, cash flows, drug margins and company expenses. Combining these data points with GlobalData’s world class analysis creates high value models that companies can use to help in evaluation processes for each drug or company.

The rNPV method integrates the probability of a drug reaching a clinical stage into the cash flow at that time, which provides a more accurate valuation, as it considers the probability that the drug never makes it through the clinical pathway to commercialization. GlobalData’s rNPV model uses proprietary likelihood of approval (LoA) and phase transition success rate (PTSR) data for the indication in the highest development stage, which can be found on GlobalData’s Pharmaceutical Intelligence Center.
