High Failure Rates of Late-stage Products in Clinical Trials to Restrain Market
Rise in scientific and technological advancements in R&D and manufacturing processes is expected to increase the efficiency of drug development. However, a significant number of clinical trials fail to meet desired results. This acts as a major restraint of the global head and neck cancer market and in turn limits the entry of new players. For instance, in 2017, phase 3 trial designed to evaluate pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma failed to meet its pre-specified primary endpoint of overall survival.
