[K3] Oncology Pipeline: Shaping 2023 and Beyond

Pricing: Free for Members and Non-Members

This session is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Coherus Biosciences, Inc.

Course Description

The cancer treatment pipeline has continually expanded over the past decade resulting in record-breaking numbers of approvals in the United States. Global spending on cancer medicine was $185 billion in 2021 and is expected to exceed $300 billion by 2026. Representing over one-third of drugs in the pipeline, oncology treatment continues to evolve and provide innovative treatment options. This session will cover key agents recently approved by the FDA or in late-stage development, focusing on novel mechanisms of action. The potential impact on current standards of care and the clinical and financial implications for payers regarding the emergence of these novel therapies will be discussed.
