As per the data published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in December 2022, oncological disorders (various types of cancer) have emerged as the second leading cause of death in the US. In fact, as per recent studies, the annual burden of oncological disorders is more than USD 185 billion in the US. In order to address the aforementioned challenge, various developers across the globe, have identified inhibition of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) as one of the potential target mechanisms. The EZH2 gene is responsible for production of histone methyltransferase enzyme, which causes methylation of histones and subsequent suppression of downstream genes. Further, this suppression activity forms a crucial part in the process of cell fate determination. Over the years, inhibition of the EZH2 gene has been validated across various studies to suppress the growth of cancer cells. Further, various EZH2 inhibitor targets are currently present in the clinical pipeline. Notably, the first EZH2 inhibitor, Tazemetostat was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) in 2020.
Promising clinical evidence, combined with increasing support from the USFDA can be considered as some of the promising drivers in this domain. Some of the recent developments within the EZH2 inhibitors market include:
- Signing of licensing agreement between Hengrui Pharmaceuticals and Treeline Biosciences for Hengrui Pharmaceuticals EZH2 inhibitor, SHR-2554 for EUR 660, and subsequent worldwide exclusive rights.
- Launch of Daiichi Sankyo’s Ezharmia (valemetostat tosilate), a dual inhibitor of EZH1 and EZH2, in Japan for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma.
