Executive Summary
Meds Pipeline Monitor (MPM) is a horizon scanning report that features a selection of new medicines in the late stages of clinical evaluation that may have a significant impact on future clinical practice and drug spending in Canada.
Medicines in Phase III clinical trials or pre-registration are considered as candidates if they have the potential to address an unmet therapeutic need, offer a novel mechanism of action or therapeutic benefit over existing therapies, or treat a serious condition. The final selection features medicines that treat a broad range of therapeutic areas. In addition to identifying new medicines for inclusion in the list, medicines featured in the previous edition of the MPM are also reviewed to report on changes to their status in the pipeline. A section focused on Canada highlights potentially significant medicines currently under review by Health Canada.
This edition of the report also includes a section on COVID-19, which provides an overview of medicines undergoing Phase I, II, and III clinical trials or in pre-registration for the treatment and prevention of the novel coronavirus disease.
The report collects data from two main sources: GlobalData’s Healthcare database is used to identify medicines currently undergoing clinical evaluation, while Health Canada’s Drug and Health Product Submissions Under Review list provides information on new medicines under review in Canada.
Together with its companion publication Meds Entry Watch, this report series monitors the continuum of new and emerging medicines in Canada and internationally, providing key information to decision makers, researchers, patients, and clinicians, among other stakeholders.
Highlights of the Meds Pipeline 2021
- In 2021, the pipeline contained nearly 8,500 new medicines in various stages of evaluation, compared to just under 7,000 the year before. The higher-than-average number of new medicines in the pipeline may be attributable to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has delayed clinical trials for other therapeutic areas.
- Consistent with previous years, the 1,145 new medicines undergoing Phase III clinical trials and pre-registration in 2021 represented a wide range of therapeutic areas and accounted for 13% of the total pipeline.
- Oncology continued to dominate the therapeutic mix in 2021, with cancer treatments representing one third (35%) of medicines in all phases of clinical trials. Treatments for infectious diseases held the second largest share of the pipeline, at 14%, due to the rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- One third (33%) of medicines in Phase III clinical trials or pre-registration had an early orphan designation approved through the US FDA or the EMA, which is consistent with the increasing trend in the prevalence of orphan-designated medicines entering the pharmaceutical market.
- Thirty-one late-stage new medicines were selected for addition to the 2021 MPM based on their potential impact on the Canadian healthcare system. Some of these medicines may offer breakthroughs in treating previously unmet needs or may have the potential to treat large patient populations.
- Five of the new medicines added to the MPM in 2021 have forecasted annual global revenues of over US $1 billion by 2027.
- Of the 27 new medicines featured in the 2020 edition of the MPM, nine received market authorization, 10 were retained on the list as they continued to satisfy the selection criteria, and eight were removed as their clinical trials were discontinued or they no longer meet the selection criteria.
- As of September 2021, 663 vaccines and therapies were undergoing clinical evaluation globally for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
- As of February 2022, Health Canada is reviewing the safety and efficacy of 18 new and supplemental drug submissions for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
List of Terms

- Phase I
- These trials test an experimental medicine on a small group of people for the first time. The purpose is to look at the medicine's safety, determine a safe dosage range, and monitor if there are any side effects.
- Phase II
- In this phase, the medicine is given to a larger group of people (usually 100 or more) to gather data on how well the medicine works to treat a disease or condition, check its safety on a wider range of people, and determine the best dose.Footnote v
- Phase III
- These controlled or uncontrolled trials are conducted after preliminary evidence suggesting efficacy of the medicine has been demonstrated. They are intended to gather additional and confirmatory information about the clinical efficacy and safety of the medicine under the proposed conditions of use.Footnote ii Phase III trials are usually randomized with double-blind testing in several hundred to several thousand patients.
- Pre-registration
- A medicine is in the pre-registration phase once all the necessary clinical trials have been completed and it is waiting for registration or approval for use by a governing body.Footnote vi
Phases of clinical trials
Introduction
This 11th edition of the Meds Pipeline Monitor (MPM) features a selection of medicines in Phase III clinical trials or pre-registration in 2021 that have the potential to significantly impact clinical practice and drug spending in Canada.
The methodology, which is detailed in the next section, uses a specific set of criteria to identify a list of pipeline candidates from the GlobalData Healthcare database, as well as a list of candidates currently under review in Canada from Health Canada’s Drug and Health Product Submissions Under Review (SUR) lists. Medicines reported in the previous edition are also reviewed in this report, including those that continue to qualify for the list of candidates as well as those that have since received market authorization. Likewise, the new medicines featured in this report will be monitored in future editions of the MPM to identify candidates that successfully enter the market.
To provide context for the selection of medicines, the MPM includes a snapshot of the entire pipeline, with an emphasis on the therapeutic breakdown of each phase of clinical evaluation. This edition of the report also highlights select vaccines and other medicines undergoing evaluation for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19, in global markets as well as in Canada. The medicines assessed for this portion of the analysis include new therapies as well as previously marketed treatments that have been repurposed.
Meds Pipeline Monitor is a companion publication to Meds Entry Watch, which analyzes the market dynamics of newly approved medicines in Canada and internationally. Together, these two PMPRB reports monitor the market continuum of late-stage pipeline medicines and new approvals, providing decision makers, researchers, patients, clinicians, and other stakeholders with information on the emerging medicines and evolving cost pressures.
Methodology
Snapshot of the Pipeline
The snapshot of the pipeline captures the composition of medicines in various phases of clinical evaluation at a single point in time. For the purpose of this analysis, a full list of pipeline medicines was retrieved from GlobalData’s Healthcare database in September 2021.
New medicinal ingredients are identified as those with no prior approvals through the US Food and Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), or Health Canada. The distribution of new medicines by therapeutic area corresponds to the indication under evaluation, as reported by GlobalData. Note that a single new medicine may be undergoing multiple clinical studies for separate indications.
The list of medicines used for the analysis of orphan medicines in the pipeline was retrieved in September 2021. For the purposes of this analysis, orphan medicines were defined as new medicines that had been granted an orphan designation by the US FDA or the EMA.
Meds Pipeline Monitor
The MPM focuses on new medicines in Phase III clinical trials or pre-registration in Canada, the United States, and Europe. Pipeline medicines are selected for inclusion using a two-stage process (Figure 1). The initial screening stage selects medicines in the late phases of clinical evaluation, while the analytic review stage involves a more rigorous appraisal of each potential candidate to identify medicines that may have a significant clinical and budgetary impact. The second stage considers a specific set of criteria, in addition to the results of a thorough review of clinical evidence and scientific literature.
This methodology is reviewed annually and refined as required.
Figure description
This is a flowchart describing the process used to select the listed medicines. The chart consists of two steps:
1. Initial Screening
This step begins with all medicines in Phase III clinical trials or pre-registration with the US Food and Drug Administration. Of these medicines, the next step includes only those with expected clinical trial end dates within three years of the analysis and drug geography including Canada, the US, and Europe. To qualify for the drug geography, a medicine must have Phase III clinical trials in Canada, the US, and/or geographic Europe (excluding Russia and Turkey).
2. Analytic Review
The analytic review step of the process is divided into two parts: one path for new medicines and the other for gene therapies.
New medicines must meet at least one of the following requirements to be included in the list:
- Demonstrates improved safety and efficacy
- Novel mechanism and/or first-in-class, with the addition of one or more of Breakthrough, Fast Track, and Priority Review designations
Gene therapies must demonstrate clinical effectiveness with an acceptable safety profile to be included in the list.
Stage 1. Initial screening
GlobalData’s Healthcare database is used to identify a list of medicines undergoing Phase III clinical trials or in pre-registration. These medicines serve as the basis for the initial screening stage.
The drug geography, defined as the geographical region or country in which the medicine is either marketed or in pipeline development, is restricted to Canada and other countries with similar regulatory and approval processes: the US and geographic Europe (excluding Russia and Turkey). Only new medicinal ingredients that have adequate data that supports increased efficacy and safety from clinical trials are considered as candidates for inclusion.
Medicines approved or sold in Canada, the US, or Europe for any other indication or in any other strength or formulation are excluded during the selection process, as are medicines whose clinical trials are inactive, suspended, withdrawn, or terminated.
The selection process groups pipeline candidates into two categories: (a) new medicines and (b) new gene therapies. As illustrated in Figure 1, the initial screening process for both groups is the same, but the analytic review stage is slightly different, as the available data for gene therapies is limited.
Stage 2: Analytic screening
Selection criteria
Following the initial screening, the second stage of the process considers a number of selection criteria to determine the final list of pipeline candidates. These criteria are detailed in Table 1.
Gene therapies are selected using a broader approach, as the clinical evidence available for this group is relatively limited. A gene therapy is retained on the list if the preliminary (or completed) results from Phase III trials suggest that there is evidence of clinical effectiveness with an acceptable safety profile.
Table 1. Selection criteria for the Meds Pipeline Monitor
Selection criteria |
---|
Improved safety and efficacy shown in clinical trials: a medicine that demonstrates increased safety, new outcome measures, or increased life expectancy or quality of life |
Novel mechanism / First-in-class: a medicine that uses a new mechanism of biochemical interaction to produce a medical effect, or a medicine that is the first in its therapeutic class In addition, the medicine must fall into one or more of the three following FDA designations for expedited development and review:

Additional descriptive information
A profile of each successful pipeline candidate is provided, including a brief outline of the indication and mechanism of action, as well as a summary of the applicable published outcomes from clinical trials. Specific attributes that may influence the potential uptake or cost of each medicine are also identified. Table 2 provides a detailed description of these key attributes.
Table 2. Key attributes of new medicines selected for the Meds Pipeline Monitor
Attribute | Relevance | Data sources |
---|---|---|
Phase III clinical trials in Canada | Medicines tested in Canada are likely to be of interest to Canadians |
GlobalData Healthcare; Health Canada Clinical Trials Database; Health Canada Drug and Health Product Submissions Under Review; National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Trial Registry |
Rare or orphan designation | Medicines used to treat rare diseases or conditions that generally have high treatment costs and may result in substantial spending | GlobalData Healthcare |
Biologic medicine | These complex molecules produced by living organisms are expected to have high costs, resulting in substantial spending | |
Add-on therapy | Medicines designed to be used in conjunction with existing medicines may increase the treatment cost and contribute to higher spending |
The profile also provides details of potential cost implications, if available, which includes the forecasted global revenues reported by GlobalData.
The indications and therapeutic areas of the featured medicines correspond to their Phase III clinical trial or pre-registration stage. A single clinical trial may assess multiple indications within the same therapeutic area. These medicines may also have additional indications at various phases of clinical evaluation that are not mentioned in this report. The scientific description and key attributes provided are focused on the specified indication(s) for the selected medicines.
Medicines reported for a given year are reassessed for each following edition of the MPM. They may be retained on the MPM list if they continue to meet the selection criteria, or they may be removed if they have been granted market authorization through the US FDA, the EMA, or Health Canada. Medicines for which clinical trials have been discontinued or for which the selection criteria is no longer met are not reported in subsequent editions.
Spotlight on Canada
Health Canada’s Drug and Health Product Submissions Under Review (SUR) are assessed using a modified approach to the selection criteria to establish a list of medicines that may have the potential to significantly affect Canadian drug spending.
Medicines listed in the SUR include new drug submissions containing medicinal ingredients that have not been approved in Canada for any indication, in any strength or form. Unlike the selection of medicines identified in the pipeline lists, these medicines may have previously received market authorization through the US FDA or the EMA.
Selection Criteria
Following this initial screening, the medicine must demonstrate at least one of three selection criteria to qualify for inclusion in the report. These criteria are listed in Table 3.
Table 3. Selection criteria for the list of medicines currently under review by Health Canada
Selection Criteria |
---|
Improved safety and efficacy shown in clinical trials: a medicine that demonstrates increased safety, new outcome measures, or increased life expectancy or quality of life |
Novel mechanism / First-in-class: a medicine that uses a new mechanism of biochemical interaction to produce a medical effect, or a medicine that is the first in its therapeutic class |
Gene therapy: a technique for the treatment of genetic disease in which a gene that is absent or defective is replaced by a healthy gene |
Additional descriptive information
The profile of each medicine under review includes the key attributes listed in Table 2, as well as a brief outline of the indication and mechanism of action, and a summary of the applicable published outcomes from clinical trials. Specific attributes that may influence the potential uptake or cost of each medicine are also identified, as well as potential cost implications, if available, which includes the forecasted global revenues reported by GlobalData.
Although FDA designations for expedited development or review are not a selection criteria for this list, relevant Breakthrough, Fast Track, and Priority Review designations are indicated where available. For a description of these designations, see Table 1.
Indications and therapeutic areas correspond to the information provided by GlobalData. The scientific description and key attributes provided are focused on the specified indication(s) for the selected medicine. For medicines under review for multiple indications, the primary indication is used.
Emerging COVID-19 Therapies
Vaccines and medicines under development worldwide with an indication for COVID-19 were extracted for this section of the report, based on a development stage of Phase I, II, and III clinical trials or pre-registration. All such medicines were assessed for this analysis, both new and existing. New medicines were identified as those that have not yet been marketed for any indication, while existing medicines include previously marketed therapies undergoing evaluation for new indications related to the treatment of COVID-19.
This section also highlights the COVID-19 medicines that have been approved in Canada as well as the medicines that are currently undergoing an expedited review process.
Data Sources
The GlobalData Healthcare database is the primary data source for the identification of pipeline medicines and their corresponding clinical information, including the clinical trial end date. GlobalData Healthcare tracks medicines from pre-clinical discovery, through clinical trials, to market launch and subsequent sales. The database is a comprehensive resource of medicines under various stages of clinical development. Search capabilities allow for controlled selection of specific attributes, including but not limited to the following: phase of clinical development, therapeutic area, molecule type, indication, drug geography, mechanism of action, and regulatory designations.
The Health Canada Drug and Health Product Submissions Under Review (SUR) lists are used to determine the featured selection of new medicines currently undergoing review by Health Canada. The SUR is a publicly available set of lists that identify pharmaceutical and biologic drug submissions containing new medicinal ingredients not previously approved in Canada that have been accepted for review. This applies to submissions accepted on or after April 1, 2015.
As this selection is restricted to new medicines, additional sources of information are cross-referenced to confirm that the candidates have not previously been approved or sold. These include recorded sales data from the IQVIA MIDAS® Database (all rights reserved); regulatory approval records from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), US FDA, the EMA, and Health Canada; and information in Health Canada’s Clinical Trials database and ClinicalTrials.org.
Limitations
This analysis captures a snapshot of the pipeline over a specific time period. Although it is assumed to be representative of the composition of medicines over the entire year, the pipeline is fairly dynamic and the share of medicines in any particular therapeutic area will vary.
This assessment is restricted to medicines under development for market in Canada and other countries with similar regulatory and approval processes: the US and Europe (excluding Russia and Turkey). Medicines that have not yet received market authorization in these countries were considered as potential pipeline candidates, even if they have been approved elsewhere in the world.
Some of the selected medicines may be undergoing clinical trials for additional indications; this analysis only reports on indications in the late stages of development—that is, in Phase III clinical trials or pre-registration with the US FDA—that satisfy the selection criteria set out in the methodology.
For each selected pipeline medicine, the primary manufacturer(s) and trade name, if available, are given along with the indication. In some cases, additional manufacturers, including subsidiaries, may also be involved in the development of the medicine with the primary companies, or other manufacturers may be developing the same medicine for other indications.
Although this report attempts to identify the most important pipeline medicines, the selection is not exhaustive and some medicines that are not included in this selection may have a significant impact on future clinical practice and drug spending in Canada.
Unless otherwise specified, the featured lists capture the composition of the pipeline as of September 2021 and are validated as of March 2022. Due to the unpredictability and fast-moving nature of pipeline medicines entering the market, some of the medicines listed in this edition may have been approved or marketed in Canada, the US, or Europe following this date. Pipeline medicines that have not been included in this report due to the timing of the selection may presently meet the selection criteria; these, along with the rest of the drug pipeline, will be considered for the next edition of the report.
Snapshot of the 2021 Pipeline
Pharmaceutical innovation is transforming the development and application of medical treatments worldwide. Nearly 8,500 new medicines were in clinical evaluation or pre-registration in 2021.
Figure 2 provides a snapshot of the pipeline in 2021, including the number of new medicinal ingredients in each phase of clinical evaluation. Of the 8,460 new medicines, 1,145 (13%) were in Phase III clinical trials or pre-registration.
Figure description
This stacked bar graph illustrates the number of new medicinal ingredients in the pipeline by their highest phase of clinical evaluation in September 2021. There were 8,460 new medicines across the pipeline, of which 3,582 were in Phase I clinical trials, 3,733 were in Phase II, 991 were in Phase III, and 154 were in pre-registration.
Data source: GlobalData Healthcare database (accessed September 2021); IQVIA MIDAS© Database.
Figure 3 illustrates the distribution of new medicines by therapeutic area from Phase I through pre-registration. Although the findings show that pipeline medicines represented a wide range of therapeutic areas in 2021, cancer treatments dominated the therapeutic mix across the pipeline, accounting for over one third (35%) of medicines in all phases of clinical evaluation. Other important pipeline therapies include those for infectious diseases (such as COVID-19) and central nervous system therapies.

Meds Pipeline Monitor 2021
The following tables list the selection of new pipeline medicines in 2021, those retained from earlier editions of the Meds Pipeline Monitor, as well as medicines featured in previous editions that have since gained market authorization. These pipeline medicines will continue to be monitored in future editions of this report.
Applying the screening criteria described in the Methodology section, 31 of the 1,145 pipeline medicines in late stages of clinical evaluation were selected for inclusion in the 2021 new medicines list (Table 4).
Of the new medicines featured in the 2020 report, 10 were retained as recent evidence continues to support promising clinical benefit and satisfies the selection criteria (Table 5). Nine of the 2020 pipeline medicines had received market authorization in the US, Europe, or Canada as of December 2021 (Table 6), while eight were removed from the list as their clinical trials were discontinued or they no longer fulfill the selection criteria.

Emerging COVID-19 Therapies
This section of the Meds Pipeline Monitor includes an overview of new and existing pipeline medicines that are under evaluation for indications related to the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. An analysis of global markets provides information on COVID-19 medicines in all phases of clinical trials and pre-registration.
Global markets
There have been significant strides in the COVID-19 drug pipeline worldwide. However, published information to confirm safety and efficacy of the various treatments for COVID-19 is continuously evolving.
In addition to the wide variety of vaccines under development, many novel and repurposed medicines are currently being evaluated in clinical trials for their potential benefits in the treatment of COVID-19. These include antivirals, monoclonal antibodies, mesenchymal stem cells, convalescent plasma, and cytokine adsorbers.202
A breakdown of COVID-19 pipeline vaccines and treatments by phase of clinical evaluation is given in Figure 5. For this snapshot, data was extracted for medicines indicated for the treatment of COVID-19 with a development stage of Phase I, II, III, or pre-registration. These medicines are presented in three categories: vaccines, which are used to prevent infection of the novel coronavirus; COVID-19 treatments (new), which are new medicines used for the prevention or reduction of some of the complications associated with COVID-19 (e.g., pneumonia or respiratory complications and hyperinflammation); and COVID-19 treatments (existing), which are previously marketed medicines that have been repurposed to treat COVID-19 or its symptoms.
Brief Insights
The pipeline for COVID-19 medicines is growing rapidly, with clinical investigations of novel and existing drugs:
- Current approaches to COVID-19 therapies generally fall into two categories: antivirals, which prevent the virus from multiplying; and immune modulators, which help the immune system to fight the virus.
- In 2020, there were 53 trials for COVID-19 categorized as pivotal/registration studies, whereas in 2021, this decreased to 41 trials. A pivotal or registration clinical trial is a trial seeking to prove the efficacy of new therapeutics and vaccines.
- As new strains of COVID-19, such as the Omicron variant, continue to raise the number of cases around the world, focus is placed on the efficacy of booster vaccinations.
- The 2020 pipeline had more ongoing and completed clinical trials while 2021 had a greater number of planned clinical trials.
- Following the approvals of the four most common vaccines used in Canada and the US—Pfizer/BioNTech’s Comirnaty, Moderna’s Spikevax, AstraZeneca’s Vaxzevria, and the Janssen vaccine—sponsors continued to focus testing on different age groups in 2021 (e.g., authorization for Pfizer/BioNTech’s Comirnaty vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 years).
- Vaccine manufactures have estimated that by the end of 2021, 12 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses will have been produced globally.

Figure 5 illustrates the breakdown of vaccines and new or existing treatments for COVID-19 by highest development stage. The majority of treatments undergoing clinical evaluation are new medicines with an increasing proportion of existing medicines in the later stages of clinical development.

Canada
As COVID-19 disease activity continues to accelerate, Canada’s health authorities have committed to the immunization response plan published in December 2020. Key elements of Canada’s immunization plan include securing sufficient supply; regulatory authorization for safety and efficacy; managing allocation and distribution of vaccines efficiently and securely; administering vaccines rapidly and equitably; and continuing to monitor vaccine safety, effectiveness and coverage. As of December 2021, the eligibility regulations for booster doses have permitted individuals 18 years and older residing in many Canadian provinces to receive a third shot.
Table 8 gives the number of medicines approved by Health Canada for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, while Table 9 gives the number of COVID-19 medicines currently under review. As the COVID-19 pandemic remains a top priority in Canada, the current submissions undergoing Health Canada’s review process for COVID-19 are being reviewed under expedited approval timelines. This effort has been supported by the use of interim orders intended to put temporary regulations into place in order to make drugs available to address large-scale public health emergencies. For example, the Interim Order Respecting the Importation, Sale and Adversiting of Drugs for Use in Relation to COVID-19, approved on May 23, 2020, introduced an alternate pathway to facilitate clinical trials for potential COVID-19 drugs and medicinal devices, while upholding strong patient safety requirements and validity of trial data.
