TCR-based Therapies Market by Target Indications, Target Antigens, Key Players and Key Geographies – Global Forecast 2021-2030

INTRODUCTION The inherent heterogeneity of cancer cells and the immunosuppressive properties of the tumor microenvironment make it difficult to design viable and effective therapeutics against oncological disorders.

New York, July 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "TCR-based Therapies Market by Target Indications, Target Antigens, Key Players and Key Geographies – Global Forecast 2021-2030" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06103095/?utm_source=GNW
However, targeted cell-based immunotherapies have demonstrated significant potential in treating patients suffering from cancer. Modified T-cell receptor (TCR)-based therapies, an upcoming class of cell-based interventions, is a promising therapeutic modality. Their tumor-cell killing efficacy may be primarily attributed to the fact that they are pre-sensitized to cancer specific antigens; this enables such interventions to selectively target and eliminate tumor cells from the body of a host, with negligible treatment-related side effects. Ongoing and planned clinical research initiatives in this direction are driven by encouraging results achieved in past trials, which were mostly focused on various hematological cancers and solid tumors. Similar to other T-cell based interventions (such as CAR-T cells and TILs), TCR therapies are designed to target the underlying causes (or primary mediators) of a clinical condition. Additionally, this emerging class of biologics is believed to possess the potential to cater to unmet pharmacological needs across both oncological and non-oncological disorders, even those where small molecule drugs have proven to be inadequate. , The contemporary TCR-based therapies market is characterized by a healthy and growing pipeline of close to 150 candidate therapies. More than 15 such therapies, including GSK3377794 (GlaxoSmithKline), IMCgp100 (Immunocore), YT-E001 (China Immunotech Biotechnology) and ADP-A2M4 (Adaptimmune Therapeutics), are in the advanced stages of development.
Presently, more than 100 industry and non-industry players, across the globe claim to be engaged in the development and clinical evaluation of antigen sensitized TCR-based cell therapies. The growing interest in this field is reflected in the notable increase in partnership activity (close to 120 deals inked in the past decade alone; CAGR 29%), between various industry players and academic / research institutes. Mostly driven by the need for effective treatment options for cancer, the TCR-based therapy pipeline is expected to continue to steadily grow over the coming years. Moreover, clinical success is likely to draw in investments that will support ongoing and anticipated therapy development initiatives. Overall, we are led to believe that the global TCR-based therapies market is poised to witness significant growth in the foreseen future.
