Academic Discovery of Anticancer Drugs: Historic and Future Perspectives

Abstract

The identification and prosecution of meritorious anticancer drug targets and the discovery of clinical candidates represent an extraordinarily time- and resource-intensive process, and the current failure rate of late-stage drugs is a critical issue that must be addressed. Relationships between academia and industry in drug discovery and development have continued to change over time as a result of technical and financial challenges and, most importantly, to the objective of translating impactful scientific discoveries into clinical opportunities. This Golden Age of anticancer drug discovery features an increased appreciation for the high-risk, high-innovation research conducted in the nonprofit sector, with the goals of infusing commercial drug development with intellectual capital and curating portfolios that are financially tenable and clinically meaningful. In this review, we discuss the history of academic-industry interactions in the context of antidrug discovery and offer a view of where these interactions are likely headed as we continue to reach new horizons in our understanding of the immense complexities of cancer biology.
