Amgen has the second deepest pipeline of drugs of the three large cap biotechs. According to Amgen, they have 45 drugs in development from Phase 1 to Phase 3. Conversely, Gilead has 32 drugs in development and Pfizer has 64. Meanwhile, Gilead only has 8 drugs in Phase 3, Pfizer has 25, and Amgen has 14. 7 of those Phase 3 drugs are focused on cancer treatments for Amgen, more than either Pfizer or Gilead. Keep in mind that 12.4 million people learn they have cancer each year, while 7.6 million people lose that battle each year. The CDC predicts that the global number of cancer related deaths will increase by 80% by 2030. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that cancer treating drugs presents the largest opportunity for any drug maker considering those statistics. Amgen has the inside track versus Gilead and Pfizer as far as quantity of drugs in late stage development.
Pipeline
This information is current as of February 11, 2013. Amgen’s product pipeline will change over time as molecules move through the drug development process, including progressing to market or failing in clinical trials, due to the nature of the development process. This description contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in Amgen’s most recent Form 10-K and in Amgen’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, and actual results may vary materially. Amgen is providing this information as of the date above and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this table as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
