The top three have also changed, with Pfizer's new ranking dropping from "Big Brother" to fifth place, plummetingJohnson and Johnson, Roche and Novartis are the top three.
Johnson and Johnson's market value fell 10 percent in the first quarter, but the company remained the leaderJohnson and Johnson also face many challenges, such as Remicade and the prostate cancer drug Zytiga, which have been hit by genericdrugs.
Roche's new ranking was second, with a 3.6 per cent rise in market capitalisation in the first quarter of this year, linked to its anti-inflammatory drug ActemraRoche's recent earnings showed sales of Actemra rose 30 percent to SFr66m in the first quarterIn addition, Roche's contribution to the field of oncology is not untableAs the cancer drug continues to grow, Roche relies on the advantage of tumor pipeline to occupy the position of the tumor.
Novartis is still firmly in the top three, the industry believes that it is closely related to its emphasis on research and development, especially Novartis in China has also developed strongly, the cancer advantage is also highlightedNovartis currently focuses on five key cancer areas: breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, kidney cancer and hematology.
It is understood that from 2017, Novartis Oncology (China) is 1-3 new products or new indications per year at the rate of the introduction of a number of targeted treatment of innovative drugs into the Chinese market, the current introduction of innovative drugs include the treatment of bone marrow fibrosis czech guard, the treatment of advanced kidney cancer, the treatment of primary immunotype platelet reduction of Rifland and the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
In addition, the more obvious change is that Bayer, GSK and Sanofi have dropped out of the top 10, with Bayer having dropped to 18th in the global standings.
It's worth noting that in the first quarter of this year, only two pharmaceutical companies, Regenerative Dollar and Gilead Sciences, have grown by more than 10% Among them, the growth of the regenerative element reached 32.5%, mainly due to the anti-inflammatory drug Kevzara, which had been tested in two key clinical trials by the end of March The company is currently preparing an antibody mixture for summer clinical trials.
Gilead's market capitalisation rose 14.5 per cent, mainly due to the company's remdesivir In early April, Gilead said it had accelerated production schedules for the drug and increased production to produce 1 million Redseveby by the end of the year However, the reported draft document says Redsewe's phase 3 randomized, controlled clinical trial in China has failed Gilead's shares fell more than 8 percent on the news In May, Gilead will release clinical data in the U.S and Europe that the industry believes could more directly affect Gilead's market value in the second quarter of this year.
Overall, the first quarter of this year was challenging for big pharmaceutical companies, with the industry arguing that a cumulative 7.9 per cent fall in market capitalisation was not as bad as it seemed, but there is no doubt that competition among multinational drug companies will become more intense in the future.
