San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/23/2013 -- The market for proteasome inhibitors, which currently stands at $2.3 billion, is experiencing rapid transformation. The launch of Onyx Pharmaceuticals’ Kyprolis, the second-in-class molecule launched in the US in July 2012, comes nine years after the initial approval of Velcade (bortezomib), the first-in-class blockbuster.

According to the just released Proteasome Inhibitors Market Report, J&J is the current global leader in the proteasome inhibitors market with Velcade. However, Takeda has been the de facto owner of blockbuster cancer fighter since it acquired Millennium Pharmaceuticals for $8.8 billion in April 2008. By acquiring Onyx Pharmaceuticals, J&J will able to maintain its lead position in the proteasom inhibitors space, according to the report.

Proteasome Inhibitors Market report assesses both approved and in-development second generation proteasome inhibitor molecules with emphasis on Bortezomib, Carfilzomib, Oprozomib, Ixazomib, Marizomib and Delanzomib.
