| BPI-9016M | Betta | 4th-gen | C797S focus |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
## 4. Mechanism of Action Classification
| Class | Count | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| 1st-gen TKI | 3 approved | Generic |
| 2nd-gen TKI | 2 approved | Mature |
| 3rd-gen TKI | 3 approved | Dominant |
| 4th-gen TKI | 5 in clinic | Emerging |
| Antibodies | 4 approved | Niche |
| Bispecifics | 3 in clinic | Emerging |
| ADCs | 4 in clinic | Hot area |
## 5. Key Development Trends
### 2023-2024 Trends
1. **4th-generation TKIs**: Focus on C797S resistance mutation
2. **CNS penetration**: Critical for brain mets
3. **Combination therapies**: EGFR + MET, EGFR + chemotherapy
4. **ADC approach**: HER3-ADC, MET-ADC combinations
5. **Bispecifics**: Amivantamab leading
### White Space Opportunities
| Area | Rationale |
|------|-----------|
| 4th-gen TKI | C797S mutation unaddressed |
| Brain mets | High unmet need |
| Early detection | Neoadjuvant setting |
| Resistance combo | MET amp, HER3 upregulation |
## 6. Company Profiles
### AstraZeneca (Market Leader)
- **Portfolio**: Osimertinib (core), Tagrisso + chemoprev (adjuvant)
- **Strategy**: Extend osimertinib lifecycle (adjuvant, combo)
- **Strengths**: First-mover, brand recognition
- **Weaknesses**: Patent cliff approaching
### Emerging Players
- **Blueprint Medicines**: 4th-gen TKI leader (BLU-945)
- **J&J**: Combo strategy (lazertinib + EGFR/c-MET bispecific)
- **Daiichi Sankyo**: ADC approach (patritumab deruxtecan)
## 7. Investment & Deals (Recent)
| Deal | Type | Value | Year |
|------|------|-------|------|
| J&J / Yuhan | Licensing | $1.2B | 2018 |
| Merck / Daiichi Sankyo | Combo partnership | $4.5B | 2023 |
| BMS / Turning Point | Acquisition | $4.1B | 2023 |
## 8. Go/No-Go Considerations
### Green Light Signals
- C797S mutation space open
- CNS penetration unmet
- Combination approaches working
### Red Light Signals
- 3rd-gen crowded
- Generic erosion (1st/2nd gen)
- High clinical trial costs
### Yellow Light Signals
- 4th-gen clinical risk (first-in-class)
- Combination regulatory complexity

Additional Resources
Best Practices
- Be specific: Use drug class names (e.g., "3rd-gen EGFR TKI")
- Define scope: Specify indication, phase, or company
- Compare: Ask for competitive positioning
- Look for white space: Ask about unaddressed areas
Common Pitfalls
| Pitfall | Solution |
|---|
| Too broad | Specify drug class or indication |
| Missing context | Include disease area |
| Outdated pipeline | Check date of data |
| Public vs private | Public sources only |
