Comparator Sourcing for Cancer Drugs: Keytruda®, Avastin®, Pomalidomide®
In clinical trials, the race to find a cure for cancer, is one of the most challenging that researchers face. When seeking comparators, cost, speed and appropriate documentation is undoubtedly a key factor in the acquisition of vital medication.
Carcinoma: the most common type of cancer which originates in the skin or within the tissues lining or covering internal organs.
Sarcoma: less common than carcinoma, there are 2 main types – bone sarcomas and soft tissue sarcomas. These develop within supportive tissues within the body, such as bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, or blood vessels.
Leukemia: a cancer which affects white blood cells and commences in the tissues responsible for the production of blood cells, e.g. bone marrow. Leukemia accounts for 3% of all cancer cases but is the most common cancer amongst children.
Lymphoma and Myeloma: lymphoma cancer is a cancer within the lymphatic system which is responsible for supporting our immune system. Myeloma cancer is found in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell within the bone marrow which produces antibodies to help fight infection.
Brain and Spinal Cord Cancers: These are collectively known as central nervous system cancers. They develop in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. In some instances, these can be benign tumours or tumours which develop very slowly. In other instances, they can become cancerous growing and spreading.
