Unlike last year’s billion dollar approvals, Avastin (bevacizumab) and Erbitux (cetuximab), no biotech blockbusters were launched in 2005 and none appear to be on the horizon. Almost half of the biologics license applications pending at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are for supplementary indications (for drugs already on the market). Certain biotech therapies are among the fastest growing drug market segments (mAbs sales grew by 52% in 2005); five of the 20 best-selling drugs are large molecules. Biotech increasingly dominates the pipeline (44% of all discovery stage candidates) and has a growing share of drug applications (about one in ten of filings).
