Cancer vaccines offer an attractive therapeutic addition, delivering treatment of high specificity, low toxicity and prolonged activity. However, despite years of R&D, a reproducible survival benefit has proved elusive, leaving the market wide open.

There are today 216 (195) companies plus partners developing 278 (209) cancer vaccine drugs in 500 (343) developmental projects in cancer. In addition, there are 6 (6) suspended drugs and the accumulated number of ceased drugs over the last years amount to another 168 (173) drugs. Cancer Vaccines Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to 110 (97) different targets. These targets are further categorized on in the software application by 40 (38) classifications of molecular function and with pathway referrals to BioCarta, KEGG and NetPath. Figures in brackets are comparative data from last year.

Find and sort drugs by twelve different parameters plus free text search field. Our dynamic report generator lets you with ease and speed generate html reports directly in your web browser, whether it is a single drug profile or an entire search you want have a report of.
