Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Market 2018 | Industry Insights by Top Players Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Merck & Co., Inc., F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, AstraZeneca Plc, Novartis International AG

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are a part of immuno-oncology therapies, which involves use of patients’ immune system to fight against cancer. Immuno-oncology uses novel immunotherapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors that boost the immune system of patients. These therapies target the immune system of the body instead of the tumors and enable the immune system to recognize and target cancer cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy products that block the proteins, which stop immune system from attacking the cancer cells. These drugs block certain checkpoint proteins such as CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1. Manufacturers are engaged in research and development of immune checkpoint inhibitors as standalone therapies as well as in combination with other immuno-oncology products. Immune checkpoint inhibitors work against a wide variety of cancer, which include non-small cell lung cancer, lymphoma, skin cancer, breast cancer, and others. Depending on the functioning of these therapies they are further classified into subtypes such as programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors, and cytotoxic t-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors. Commercially available immune checkpoint inhibitors include Iplimumab, Nivolumab, Rituximab, Blinatumomab, Proleukin, Gardasil, and Kymriah.

Introduction of novel immune checkpoint inhibitors with less side effects is driving global immune checkpoint inhibitors market growth

Cancer treatment has become more refined with improved treatment success rate due to improved therapeutic outcomes. This has been possible due to better understanding of the disease pathophysiology, functioning of the tumor cells, and effective ways to tackle with the same. Immune checkpoint inhibitors exhibit lesser side effects as compared to conventional cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and others. Manufactures are developing immune checkpoint inhibitors, which are tailored to attack or block particular targets. For instance, Iplimumab, a human monoclonal antibody, which blocks cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 is available. Furthermore, agents focusing on specific immune regulatory checkpoints programmed death-1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand-1 and 2 (PD-L1) such as Nivolumab, Atezolimumab, and Pembrolizumab are being used for cell lung cancer. Moreover, in April 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to immunotherapy product- TECENTRIQ (atezolizumab) for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC), who are not eligible for cisplatin chemotherapy, which is currently in the clinical phase 4.

Some of the major players operating in the immune checkpoint inhibitors market include Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Merck & Co., Inc., F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, AstraZeneca Plc., Novartis International AG, ImmunOs Therapeutics AG, Immutep Ltd., NewLink Genetics Corporation, Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Pfizer, Inc.

Market Dynamics

Global Immune checkpoint inhibitors market is driven by factors such as increasing prevalence of cancer, active research and development by leading manufacturers through collaborations and individual research, and robust pipeline of immune checkpoint inhibitor combination therapies. According to World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is one of the major non-communicable diseases and the second-leading cause of death worldwide. According to International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2012, there were around 14.1 million new cases, around 8.8 million deaths, and around 32.6 million of people suffering from cancer worldwide. There are many immune checkpoint inhibitors combination therapies in the pipeline. Immune checkpoint inhibitors has proven clinical profile and increasing approvals to include more indication for existing drugs such as Nivolumab, which in turn is expected to boost global immune checkpoint inhibitors market growth over the forecast period.
