London (PRWEB) November 19, 2013 -- This is a worldwide report on cancer drugs which have now or in the past received orphan drug status. This product will give you unique access not only to those cancer indications in which drugs are being granted orphan drug status, but also detailed insights in to their mechanism of action and developmental strategy. The orphan drug designation is designed to promote the development of drugs that may provide significant benefit to patients suffering from rare, life-threatening diseases. This designation will in many countries provide several years of marketing exclusivity if the product candidate is approved for the designated orphan indication. It also provides special incentives for sponsors, including eligibility for protocol assistance and possible exemptions or reductions in certain regulatory fees during development or at the time of applying for marketing approval.

There are today 303 companies plus partners developing 400 orphan drugs in oncology drugs in 2245 developmental projects in cancer. In addition, there are 11 suspended drugs and the accumulated number of ceased drugs over the last years amount to another 119 drugs. Orphan Drugs In Oncology Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to 290 different targets. All included targets have been cross-referenced for the presence of mutations associated with human cancer. To date 281 out of the 283 studied drug targets so far have been recorded with somatic mutations. The software application lets you narrow in on these mutations and links out to the mutational analysis for each of the drug targets for detailed information. All drugs targets are further categorized on in the software application by 66 classifications of molecular function and with pathway referrals to BioCarta, KEGG, NCI-Nature and NetPath.

How May Drug Pipeline Update Be of Use?

*Show investors/board/management that you are right on top of drug development progress in your therapeutic area. * Find competitors, collaborations partners, M&A candidates etc. * Jump start competitive drug intelligence operations * Excellent starting point for world wide benchmarking * Compare portfolio and therapy focus with your peers * Speed up pro-active in-/out licensing strategy work * Fast and easy way of tracking drugs using search engines; just one click from inside the application and you may search the World Wide Web and PubMed for any drug. Drug Pipeline Update is delivered to you as a downloadable application, which requires no installation on your computer. Please read more about application features and system requirements below.
