Colorectal Cancer Pipeline Insights

According to DelveInsight, over 195 major companies are actively engaged in developing more than 200 therapeutic candidates for the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Colorectal Cancer Overview:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignancy that arises in the colon or rectum due to abnormal growth of glandular epithelial cells. It is broadly categorized into three types: sporadic, hereditary, and colitis-associated. Globally, the incidence of CRC is on the rise, driven by both genetic predisposition and environmental influences. Individuals with long-standing inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease are at a heightened risk, with the likelihood increasing with age. Research highlights the significant roles of diet, lifestyle, family history, and chronic inflammation in CRC development.

CRC progresses through a multistep process, beginning with epithelial hyperplasia, advancing through stages of atypical hyperplasia and adenoma formation, and ultimately leading to carcinoma. This progression is fueled by carcinogens that induce DNA damage, triggering the transformation of normal cells into cancerous ones. Morphological stages include hyperplasia, adenomas, carcinoma in situ, and invasive carcinoma. In 1990, Fearon and Vogelstein introduced a model outlining the molecular events involved in CRC development. Subsequent studies have identified three primary molecular mechanisms: (i) chromosomal instability, commonly observed in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP); (ii) mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes, as seen in Lynch syndrome and sporadic cases; and (iii) CpG island hypermethylation, which silences tumor suppressor genes. These pathways involve alterations in several critical genes, including APC, DCC, P53, K-ras, c-MYC, MCC, and MMR-related genes such as hMLH1, hMLH3, hMSH2, hMSH3, hMSH6, hPMS1, and hPMS2. Notably, these molecular changes often overlap, with many CRC cases exhibiting a combination of these mechanisms.

“Colorectal Cancer Pipeline Insight 2025” report by DelveInsight provides a comprehensive analysis of the ongoing clinical development activities and growth prospects across the Colorectal Cancer Therapeutics Market.

Key Takeaways from the Colorectal Cancer Pipeline Report

• DelveInsight’s Colorectal Cancer pipeline report depicts a robust space with 195+ active players working to develop 200+ pipeline therapies for Colorectal Cancer treatment.

• In October 2025, U.S. regulators extended the evaluation period for Amgen’s LUMAKRAS (sotorasib) for second-line colorectal cancer (CRC) by three months, delaying a potential approval decision until January 17 of the following year. This extension also temporarily reduces the competitive pressure on Bristol Myers Squibb’s KRAS inhibitor, KRAZATI (adagrasib).

• In June 2025, Bristol Myers Squibb announced that the US FDA granted accelerated approval for KRAZATI (adagrasib) in combination with cetuximab for adult patients with previously treated kras G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer.

• In April 2025, ENHERTU was approved in the US as the first tumor-agnostic HER2-directed therapy for patients with metastatic HER2-positive solid tumors, including colorectal cancer, who had been previously treated.

• In November 2023, the US FDA approved Takeda’s FRUZAQLA for adults with metastatic colorectal cancer who had previously received specific chemotherapies and targeted therapies.

• Key Colorectal Cancer companies such as Exelixis, Mirati Therapeutics, Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, Daiichi Sankyo Company, Inspirna, Lyell Immunopharma, Genentech, Cantargia AB, Arcus Biosciences, Inc, Neogap Therapeutics AB, Criterium, Inc, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celyad Oncology SA, Pfizer, Akeso, Menarini Group, Elpiscience (Suzhou) Biopharma, Ltd., BeyondBio Inc., Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Rottapharm Biotech, Innovative Cellular Therapeutics Inc., BioNTech SE, and others are evaluating new drugs for Colorectal Cancer to improve the treatment landscape.

• Promising Colorectal Cancer pipeline therapies in various stages of development include XL092, Adagrasb, Olaparib, DS-8201, Ompenaclid, LYL845, RG6286, and others.
