Dublin, Aug. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "CAR-T Therapies Market, 2018-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The "CAR-T Therapies Market, 2018-2030" report features an extensive study of the current market landscape and the future potential of CAR-T therapies. One of the key objectives of the study was to review and quantify the future opportunities associated with the ongoing development programs of both small and big pharmaceutical firms.

Amidst the current initiatives to develop more targeted anti-cancer therapies, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has emerged as a potent and viable therapeutic intervention to eradicate tumor cells, with minimal side effects. It is based on the principle of harnessing the innate potential of the immune system to target and destroy diseased cells. There are certain key characteristics that render CAR-T cells suitable for use as effective therapeutic tools; these include target specificity, adaptability and the capability to retain immunologic memory. Close to 70 academic and research institutes across the globe have made significant contributions to this field, mostly by convening the initial research on potential product candidates. These efforts have built the intellectual framework for the establishment of several start-ups. The ongoing innovation has also led to the discovery of several novel molecular targets, strengthening the research pipelines of various companies engaged in this domain. Given the recent approval of two CAR-T therapies, namely Kymriah (Novartis) and Yescarta (Gilead Sciences), and a robust development pipeline, the CAR-T therapy market also offers considerable promise to a number of industry stakeholders. Amongst other elements, the report features the following:

  • An analysis depicting prevalent and emerging trends related to CAR-T therapies as observed on the social media platform, Twitter. In addition to the yearly chatter trends, the analysis highlights the most frequently talked about product candidates as well.
  • A detailed assessment of the current market landscape of CAR-T therapies with respect to type of developer (industry and non-industry), phase of development, target therapeutic indications, key target antigens, source of T-cells (autologous and allogenic), and route of administration (intravenous infusion and regional route).
  • Comprehensive profiles of marketed and mid to late stage clinical products (phase I/II or above); each profile features an overview of the therapy, its mechanism of action, history of development, current development status, key clinical trial results, details on administered dose, price and manufacturing process of the therapy (wherever available).
  • An analysis of the CAR constructs of clinical stage therapies based on generation of CAR-T product (first generation, second generation, third generation and fourth generation), type of binding domain (murine, humanized, fully human and rabbit derived), type of vector (lentivirus, retrovirus, mRNA electroporation, sleeping beauty and other vectors) and type of co-stimulatory domain used.
  • An analysis of the CAR-T clinical trials registered across the world in the period between 2009 and 2018, highlighting the year wise trend and the geographical distribution.
  • A detailed analysis highlighting the key opinion leaders (KOLs) in this domain. It features a 2X2 analysis to assess the relative experience of certain KOLs, who were shortlisted based on their contributions (in terms of involvement in various clinical studies) to this field, and a schematic world map representation, indicating the geographical locations of eminent scientists / researchers involved in the development of CAR-T therapies.
  • An overview of the various focus therapeutic areas of therapy developers, including an assessment of the opportunity offered by oncological and non-oncological disease indications.
  • A detailed discussion on innovative technology platforms that are being used for the development of CAR-T therapies, along with profiles of key technology providers.
  • A case study on manufacturing cell therapy products, highlighting the key challenges, and a list of contract service providers and in-house manufacturers that are involved in this space.
  • An elaborate discussion on various factors that form the basis for the pricing of cell-based therapies, featuring different models / approaches that a pharmaceutical company may choose to adopt to decide the price of its proprietary products that are likely to be marketed in the coming years.
  • A review of the key promotional strategies that have been adopted by the developers of the marketed CAR-T therapies, Kymriah and Yescarta.
