Acute Myeloid Leukemia is one of the more crowded fields on the map: 15 companies in the clinic, ranking it 2nd of 299 indications by competitor count. The median competitor is worth $1.2B, below the $1.20B median of the universe.

That gap is the crowding discount. When a field is deep the market pays less per company, because the same eventual revenue has to be split across more shots on goal.

No one owns the field: the largest company, TNGX, holds only 19% of the $20.6B competing here.

$7.0B of allocated capital sits in Acute Myeloid Leukemia, 27th of 299 indications, and 1 of the 15 companies are pure plays that trade on this indication alone.

Why Acute Myeloid Leukemia is a knife fight

Crowded and cheaply priced. Six or more competitors and a median company below the universe median.

The map splits indications on two folds: six or more competitors counts as crowded, and a median company above $1.20B counts as richly priced. Acute Myeloid Leukemia has 15 competitors and a median of $1.2B.

Oncology

Oncology holds $187B of the map's capital, 27.8% of the total, spread across 119 indications and 103 companies. 34 of those indications have more than one company competing.

How this page is built

  • Universe is US-listed drug developers with a $100M to $20B market capitalisation, identified by SEC SIC code 2833, 2834 or 2836 or by a pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry classification, less a reviewed exclusion list of contract research organisations, device and diagnostics makers and diversified generics manufacturers.
  • An asset attributed to three or more different companies is treated as shared standard of care rather than any one company’s programme and excluded. Pembrolizumab alone appears under 21 tickers in raw trial data.
  • A programme counts only where at least one industry-sponsored trial supports it, so investigator-initiated academic studies of third-party drugs are excluded.

Allocated capital divides each company’s market capitalisation evenly across the indications it is running clinical programmes in, so every dollar of the universe is counted exactly once. Total market capitalisation competing counts a company in each of its indications and therefore sums to more than the universe.

Third-party market size estimates are not used anywhere on this page. Approved incumbents are excluded from competitor counts, and companies above $20B are outside the universe by construction.
