It is classified into four categories on the basis of its origin – 1) Carcinoma (begins in skin or tissue) 2) Sarcoma (begins in connective tissues) 3) Lymphoma (begins in lymphatic system) 4) Leukemia (begins in blood).

Global Small Molecule Cancer Drugs Market Drivers

Approvals for small molecule cancer drugs by regulatory bodies to key players are expected to boost the global small molecule cancer drugs market growth. For instance, in May 2019, U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved a drug, Piqray in combination with fluvestrant, which is manufactured by Novartis AG. It is the first ever drug that is specifically being used for the treatment of HR/HER2-, PIK3CA mutated advanced breast cancer.

Similarly, in April 2019, Janssen Pharmaceutical Company received U.S. FDA approval for Balversa (erdafitinib). It is indicated for the treatment of FGFR3 or FGFR2 mutated, locally advanced urothelial carcinoma. The type of study was multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial and comprised 87 participants diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma and had progressed on or after at least one prior chemotherapy.
