COMPANION DIAGNOSTIC TESTS IN ONCOLOGY – CURRENT AND FUTURE PLAYERS

Introduction

2 Introduction

Companion diagnostic tests are a fast-emerging new area of in vitro diagnostic tests. Companion

diagnostic tests seek to identify which patients respond to a specific therapy, or how specific

patients will respond to a therapy. While cancer treatments are increasingly effective in producing

significant improvements in survival, the costs for such new therapies are soaring. At the same

time, the incidence of cancer is increasing globally, both in developed and developing nations,

further adding to the pressure placed on healthcare systems. Companion diagnostic tests are now

seen as essential in ensuring that patients are treated with the most appropriate protocol.

Companion diagnostic tests will also herald an era of personalized medicine, where a patient’s

treatment will become increasingly individualized. This report focuses on the companion diagnostic

testing markets in the US, Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK), Japan, and the

future markets in China, India, and Brazil, to identify unmet needs in the global market, physician

attitudes toward current companion diagnostic testing, and the future of companion diagnostic

testing in the face of rapid technological advancement.

2.1 Catalyst

There is an increased demand for companion diagnostic tests; this is a result of the increased

demand from physicians who want to be better informed of the therapy options for their patients,

from regulatory authorities who are seeking the development of safer and more effective drugs,

and from healthcare authorities (payers) who are looking to control the rising costs of therapies,

while being able to better identify the most suitable patients for treatment.

Physicians look to stratify their patients in order to identify the most appropriate treatment, and the

addition of companion diagnostic tests is seen as an extra tool in the existing prognostic process.

Regulatory authorities, especially the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), are mindful of not

only the increasing complexity of disease, but also of well-publicized incidents where new therapies

have proven to be ineffective, or even harmful in some groups of patients. As a result, regulatory

authorities are now seeking to improve the clinical trials process by imposing requirements on the

correct patient selection for trials, making, in effect, companion diagnostic tests an essential

requirement for any new drug treatment.

COMPANION DIAGNOSTIC TESTS IN ONCOLOGY – CURRENT AND FUTURE PLAYERS

Introduction

Healthcare authorities are mindful of the rising costs of new, but effective therapies, and are

seeking to control costs in the face of economic pressures, either by rationing treatments, or by

making more informed choices as to which patients should be treated with a new therapy.

Companion diagnostic tests are particularly applicable to cancer, which is increasingly seen as a

large collection of syndromes, and where somatic and germline gene mutations play not only a

large role in the type of cancer developed, but also in how the patient responds to the treatment.

This report focuses on the four major cancers for which FDA-approved companion diagnostic tests

exist: breast cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), non-small cell lung cancer, and melanoma. These

four cancers alone account for over 50% of new cancer cases and nearly 64% of cancer deaths in

the US (National Cancer Institute, 2014).
