This year’s report, the sixth in Trinity’s Drug Index series, outlines key themes and emerging trends as the life sciences industry moves towards a new world of targeted and innovative products. Scoring is based on a combination of commercial, therapeutic/clinical and R&D factors. The Drug Index also provides a deeper look into several drugs approved in 2020 with outstanding commercial performance, along with learnings from these launches.

The report reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on the commercial performance of drugs launched in 2020, particularly intravenous products, due to shifts in priorities, supply chain disruptions, clinical trial delays and changes in healthcare utilization patterns. However, drugs that provided significant value propositions and addressed high unmet needs were able to perform well commercially.

Oncology and Neurology were the leading therapeutic indications in 2020. These indications continue to command a greater proportion of approved therapies, collectively increasing from ~34% of new approvals in 2017 to ~45% in 2020. The number of Oncology approvals saw a return to “normalcy” in 2020 after experiencing a decline in 2019.

According to the Drug Index, companies that launched their first products continue to struggle to meet forecast expectations. None of the “first launch” products in 2020 surpassed their forecast expectations, while ~50% significantly underperformed (achieving <32% of forecast expectations). Small-to-mid cap (SMID) companies, Horizon Therapeutics and Biohaven, were able to achieve the top two highest cumulative U.S. sales two years post-launch with their innovative products, despite historically lower success rates for SMID companies compared to large pharma. This resulted in both companies being acquired in 2022.

"It’s a new era in the industry post-COVID, and we're optimistic about the continued growth in drug approvals and the innovations to come," said Leslie Orne, President and CEO of Trinity Life Sciences. “Looking at how drug launches succeeded, flailed or failed gives us a great deal of predictive power to determine future launches. Our Drug Index is an important paper for the life sciences industry to digest and understand.”

Looking ahead to the next Trinity Annual Drug Index, the 2021 launch class included a combined 59 novel drug and biological license application approvals. A few notable approvals include the first mRNA COVID vaccine, the first Kirsten rat sarcoma virus oncogene (KRAS) inhibitor for Oncology and the first targeted therapy for Alzheimer's.
