High Prevalence of Cancer and R&D in Anti-Cd39 Antibodies to Augment Growth of Anti-body Coupled T Receptor Therapy Market
Antibody-Coupled T cell Receptor (ACTR) is an autologous
engineered T cell therapy that combines the Fc receptor, CD16, with endogenous
T cell signaling and costimulatory domains. It is combined with tumor-targeting
antibodies to exert potent anti-tumor immune responses and eliminate cancerous
cells. ACRT has demonstrated potential in the treatment of multiple myeloma and
HER2+ advanced cancers.
Market Dynamics
R&D in anti-CD39 antibodies is expected to propel growth
of the Anti-body
Coupled T Receptor Therapy Market. For instance, in December 2020, Arcus
Biosciences, Inc. expanded its existing partnership with WuXi Biologics, a
developer of biologics technology platforms, for R&D in anti-CD39
antibodies using WuXi Bio’s proprietary technology. Moreover, high prevalence
of cancer is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, according
to the American Cancer Society, in 2019, there will be an estimated 1,762,450
new cancer cases diagnosed and 606,880 cancer deaths in the U.S.
Increasing investment in R&D is expected to offer
lucrative growth opportunities for players in the Anti-body Coupled T Receptor
Therapy Market. For instance, in February 2021, Arcus Biosciences, Inc.
received US$ 220 million to support and accelerate the company’s clinical
development plans from Gilead Sciences, Inc., a U.S-based biopharmaceutical
company, as the later increased its ownership in Arcus to 19.5%. Moreover,
increasing number of clinical trials in antibody-coupled T receptor therapy is
also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, in January 2020,
Unum Therapeutics Inc. completed Cohort 1 enrollment with no dose-limiting
toxiticies observed in the ATTCK-34-01 Phase 1 trial evaluating the company’s
ACTR707, an antibody-coupled T cell receptor investigational therapy, together
with trastuzumab for the treatment of patients with HER2+ advanced cancers.
The Anti-body Coupled T Receptor Therapy Market is witnessing
several M&A activities. For instance, in July 2020, Cogent Biosciences
(Unum Therapeutics) acquired Kiq LLC, a privately held, biotechnology company.
Competitive Analysis
Major players operating in the Anti-body Coupled T Receptor
Therapy Market include, Cogent Biosciences (Unum Therapeutics), Arcus Biosciences,
Inc., and Seattle Genetics, Inc.
Major players operating in the Anti-body Coupled T Receptor
Therapy Market are focused on R&D to expand their product portfolio. For
instance, in 2018, Cogent Biosciences (Unum Therapeutics) received the U.S.
patent design and use of the chimeric Antibody-Coupled T-cell Receptor (ACTR)
platform technology for the treatment of
non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and HER2+ advanced cancers.
