  • Rxoutlook® 4Th Quarter 2020
    ® RxOutlook 4th Quarter 2020 optum.com/optumrx a RxOutlook 4th Quarter 2020 While COVID-19 vaccines draw most attention, multiple “firsts” are expected from the pipeline in 1Q:2021 Great attention is being given to pipeline drugs that are being rapidly developed for the treatment or prevention of SARS- CoV-19 (COVID-19) infection, particularly two vaccines that are likely to receive emergency use authorization (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the near future. Earlier this year, FDA issued a Guidance for Industry that indicated the FDA expected any vaccine for COVID-19 to have at least 50% efficacy in preventing COVID-19. In November, two manufacturers, Pfizer and Moderna, released top-line results from interim analyses of their investigational COVID-19 vaccines. Pfizer stated their vaccine, BNT162b2 had demonstrated > 90% efficacy. Several days later, Moderna stated their vaccine, mRNA-1273, had demonstrated 94% efficacy. Many unknowns still exist, such as the durability of response, vaccine performance in vulnerable sub-populations, safety, and tolerability in the short and long term. Considering the first U.S. case of COVID-19 was detected less than 12 months ago, the fact that two vaccines have far exceeded the FDA’s guidance and are poised to earn EUA clearance, is remarkable. If the final data indicates a positive risk vs. benefit profile and supports final FDA clearance, there may be lessons from this accelerated development timeline that could be applied to the larger drug development pipeline in the future. Meanwhile, drug development in other areas continues. In this edition of RxOutlook, we highlight 12 key pipeline drugs with potential to launch by the end of the first quarter of 2021.
