Marketed Drugs

Keytruda (pembrolizumab): Merck

Keytruda is a PD-1 blocking antibody. It is mainly used for cancers that are advanced, have spread to other parts of the body or are not responding to other treatments. In some cancers, it is only given to patients whose tumors produce high levels of a protein known as PD-L1. This drug is also used to help prevent cancer from coming back after patients had surgery. It is approved for multiple types of cancer.

Keytruda is also approved as a single agent for the treatment of patients with metastatic NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 (TPS 1%) as determined by an FDA-approved test, with disease progression on or after platinum-containing chemotherapy. Patients with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations should have disease progression on FDA-approved therapy for these aberrations prior to receiving Keytruda.

Imfinzi (Durvalumab): AstraZeneca

Imfinzi is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to PD-L1 and blocks the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1 and CD80, countering the tumor’s immune-evading tactics and releasing the inhibition of immune responses. This product is given by intravenous infusion is approved in unresectable, Stage III NSCLC after chemoradiation therapy in the US, Japan, across the EU and in many other countries, based on the Phase III PACIFIC trial.

Opdivo (Nivolumab): Bristol-Myers Squibb

Opdivo by Bristol-Myers Squibb is a human immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor PD-1, with immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. It is a prescription medicine used to treat people with unresectable or metastatic melanoma, metastatic NSCLC, SCLC, advanced renal cell carcinoma, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), urothelial carcinoma, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma.

PD-L1 NSCLC Emerging Drugs

Canakinumab (ACZ885): Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Canakinumab is a product of Novartis Pharmaceuticals. This product was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with brand name Ilaris for the treatment of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, which is a group of rare auto-inflammatory disorders. At present this product is being investigated for the treatment of NSCLC.

Canakinumab is an injectable human monoclonal antibody intended to bind to human interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta). Its mode of action is based on the neutralization of 1 signaling, resulting in suppression of inflammation in patients with disorders of autoimmune origin.

Avelumab (Bavencio): Merck KGaA and Pfizer

Avelumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody developed by Merck and Pfizer as a pharmaceutical drug for use in immunotherapy, originally for the treatment of NSCLC. Avelumab targets the PD-L1. Avelumab has also been shown to induce NK cell-mediated direct tumor cell lysis via antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) in vitro. In November 2014, Merck (Germany), and Pfizer announced a strategic alliance to co-develop and co-commercialize Avelumab.

Libtayo (Cemiplimab): Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

Libtayo is a fully-human monoclonal antibody designed as an immune checkpoint inhibitor of the programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), prescribed as monotherapy and combination therapy in first-line patients with advanced NSCLC. This drug is currently in two phase III trial recruiting patients in first-line NSCLC.

M7824 (Bintrafusp alfa): GlaxoSmithKline/Merck KGaA

M7824 (Bintrafusp alfa) is an investigational bifunctional immunotherapy that is designed to combine a TGF- trap with the anti-PD-L1 mechanism in one fusion protein, targeting both pathways aim to control tumor growth by potentially restoring and enhancing anti-tumor responses. This drug is currently in Phase I studies for solid tumors, as well as a randomized Phase II trial to investigate M7824 compared with pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment in patients with PD-L1 expressing advanced NSCLC.

Market Outlook

Currently PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies therapy is recommended for the patients showing PD-L1 expressions. In recent years, immunotherapy has revolutionized and changed the standard of care in patients with NSCLC. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, fundamentally those that act by blocking PD-1 and its ligand, the PD-L1, have emerged as novel treatment strategies in NSCLC, demonstrating undoubted superiority over chemotherapy in terms of efficacy.

Treatments for patients with advanced NSCLC are palliative, and thus intended to prolong survival and preserve quality of life for as long as possible, while minimizing the side effects due to treatment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting either programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) have become routinely part of the clinical approach for management of NSCLC. Specifically, patients with PD-L1 expression 50% are typically offered monotherapy with the anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab, although some with rapidly progressing or very extensive disease may be treated with a platinum doublet chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab. For patients with PD-L1 expression < 50%, the combination of a platinum-doublet chemotherapy and pembrolizumab is standard. Choice of chemotherapy, for those receiving it is mainly influenced by histology.

So, treatment approach of PD-L1 expressed NSCLC is mainly depend on the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, but to increase the efficacy of the treatment several companies are developing combinational products for the treatment of PD-L NSCLC.

Drugs Uptake

Keytruda is expected to major share from the overall market of PD-L1 NSCLC due to physician’s familiarities and established clinical profile. On the other hand, Opdivo is expected to take second highest share from the market due to its dominancy in second-line line setting.

Access and Reimbursement Scenario

As per the recommendation of some drugs by NICE which are approved for NSCLC, the access and reimbursement scenario for therapies in the UK are listed as:

• In July 2018, Keytruda was recommended for, untreated PD L1-positive metastatic NSCLC in adults whose tumors express PD L1 (with at least a 50% tumor proportion score) and have no EGFR- or ALK-positive mutations.
• In January 2017, Keytruda is recommended for treating locally advanced or metastatic PD L1 positive NSCLC in adults who have had at least one chemotherapy (and targeted treatment if they have an EGFR- or ALK-positive tumor).
• In May 2019, Durvalumab is recommended for treating locally advanced unresectable NSCLC in adults whose tumors express PD L1 on at least 1% of tumor cells and whose disease has not progressed after platinum-based chemoradiation.
• It was stated by NICE that Atezolizumab +bevacizumab is recommended for metastatic NSCLC in adults who have not had treatment for their metastatic NSCLC before and whose PD-L1 tumor proportion score is between 0% and 49%.
