Immunotherapy is a sort of medical treatment that boosts the immune system to combat diseases like cancer. Immunotherapy medications are intended to improve or change the immune system's reaction to abnormal cells. Immunotherapy is used to treat cancers such as melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). It specifically targets the PD-1 protein in immune cells, allowing them to kill cancer cells more efficiently. Immunotherapy is used to treat specific kinds of lymphoma and leukaemia. It entails reprogramming a patient's own T cells to express a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) that targets tumour cells.
Global Immunotherapy Drugs Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Driving Factors- The public and medical experts are becoming more aware of cutting-edge treatment alternatives as the incidence of various forms of cancer rises globally. Cancer immunotherapy is becoming more and more popular since it fights cancer in a unique method by utilising the body's own immune system. Through awareness efforts, a variety of advocacy groups are informing people about this choice. These demonstrate how immunotherapy aids in triggering the patient's own T cells to specifically recognise and eliminate cancer cells. Like previous therapeutic methods, this one avoids harming normal cells without a defined purpose.
Challenges- The variable effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies varies among patient populations and disease types, which poses a major obstacle to their general implementation. Although a small percentage of patients within those cohorts and a subgroup of cancers respond well to these treatments, some patients do show exceptional responses to them. Given that clinically predictive genetic alterations are rare, diverse, and distributed across a wide range of cancer types, finding strong predictive biomarkers is a tough technological task. This constraint limits the market's potential for growth for immunotherapy medications, highlighting the need for creative solutions to improve treatment efficacy and increase patient access.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Immunotherapy Drugs Market
The market for immunotherapy medications benefited from the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 on the immunotherapy medicine market is favourable since numerous companies are currently working on developing immunotherapy-based treatments or vaccinations for the virus. In collaboration with Pfizer Inc., BioNTech SE is now conducting a phase III clinical study in healthy participants to investigate the immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of BNT162b2 against COVID-19.
