CDK4/6 inhibitors are redefining cancer treatment by offering targeted therapeutic options that disrupt the cell cycle in cancer cells, particularly in HR+/HER2- breast cancer. These drugs, such as palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib, are designed to inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6), crucial enzymes involved in cell proliferation. Since their approval, CDK4/6 inhibitors have emerged as a standard treatment in combination with endocrine therapy, significantly improving progression-free survival in patients with advanced-stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer. CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Target Patient Pool Analysis The potential target population for CDK4/6 inhibitors extends beyond HR+/HER2- breast cancer. Research presented at ASCO 2024 highlights their promising application in treating other cancers, such as prostate cancer and even triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which traditionally lacks targeted therapies. The growing incidence of breast cancer worldwide and the unmet ...

In the ever-evolving landscape of cancer treatment , ENHERTU has emerged as a revolutionary drug, offering new hope to patients with various cancer types, especially HER2-positive breast cancer, HER2-positive gastric cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Developed by AstraZeneca in collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo, ENHERTU has garnered significant attention for its remarkable efficacy and unique mechanism of action. In this blog, we will explore ENHERTU's journey in cancer treatment and management, focusing on its differentiation from traditional chemotherapy drugs, clinical success and milestones, commercialization, and sales. How is it different from other chemotherapy drugs? ENHERTU represents a paradigm shift in cancer treatment, distinguishing itself from traditional chemotherapy drugs in several ways. Unlike conventional chemotherapy, which often targets rapidly dividing cells, ENHERTU is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) designed to deliver a potent cytotoxic ag...
