Merck highlights subcutaneous demand even as Keytruda sales soar

01 Feb 2024
Drug Approval
Merck said Keytruda sales jumped 21% to $6.6 billion in the fourth quarter of the year, driven by new approvals in earlier-stage indications for breast cancer and renal cell carcinoma, and more demand in metastatic cancers. The company’s crown jewel made up nearly half of its revenue in the final three months of the year. The blockbuster scored multiple approvals last year, including in combination with Astellas and Pfizer’s Padcev for first-line treatment of urothelial cancer; with chemoradiotherapy for a specific late-stage cervical cancer; as a first-line treatment for HER2-negative gastric cancer; and in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin for biliary tract cancer.
