B-Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL): Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2027

B-Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL): Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2027

Summary

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) comprises a heterogeneous group of proliferative malignancies that arise in the B cells, T cells, or natural killer (NK) cells within the lymphoid tissue, such as the lymph nodes, bone marrow, thymus, and spleen. B-cell lymphomas comprise approximately 85% of all NHL cases diagnosed in the US, and are a diverse group of blood cancers that arise in the B-cells. This report focuses on the four NHL subtypes that represent the greatest commercial opportunities for drug developers during the forecast period: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Follicular lymphoma (FL), Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) and Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
The introduction of Roche’s Rituxan/MabThera (rituximab) in the late 1990s revolutionized NHL therapy, and the market is now dominated by Rituxan. However, NHL patients frequently become refractory to Rituxan therapy or relapse after responding to the first-line treatment, which has spurred R&D efforts to address therapeutic options for relapsed/refractory (R/R) patients after first-line Rituxan-based therapy.

GlobalData valued the B-cell NHL (FL,MZL,DLBCL and MCL) market at $5.7B in 2017 in the 7MM (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK and Japan) and expects the market to increase to $9.2B in 2027 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. Growth will be driven by the rise of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies, the launch of six pipeline agents, and the label expansion of currently marketed therapies across the B-cell NHL subtypes. However, growth will be tempered by the biosimilar and generic erosions of Rituxan, Treanda, Gazyva, Revlimid, Imbruvica, Zydelig, Velcade, and Torisel.

Key Highlights

Growth will be driven by the rise of CAR-T cell therapies, the launch of six pipeline agents, and the label expansion of currently marketed therapies across the B-cell NHL subtypes.
Lisocabtagene maraleucel, ublituximab + umbralisib and Polivy are the three pipeline/upcoming therapies expected to generate the highest sales for B-cell NHL from 2017-2027.
Several unmet needs still remain in B-cell NHL, and while it is unlikely that they will be fully met within the forecast period, progress will be made on many of those needs.
The growth of the B-cell NHL market will be tempered by the patent expiry of leading brands, including Rituxan, Treanda, Gazyva, Revlimid, Imbruvica, Zydelig, and Velcade, and subsequent biosimilar/generic erosion
Lack of, or delayed, clinical development in Japan, will result in marketing approval of only a subset of the pipeline candidates in that region during the forecast period
