In March 2021, Amgen Inc., a U.S. based multinational biopharmaceutical company, and Rodeo Therapeutics Corporation, a biotechnology company, announced an agreement under which Amgen would acquire Rodeo, which develops small-molecule therapies designed to promote regeneration and repair of multiple tissues. The agreement would help the company in expansion to develop therapeutics for patients using Rodeo's 15-PGDH (a prostaglandin-degrading enzyme) program with Amgen's inflammation portfolio.

In March 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel), a cell-based gene therapy to treat adult patients with multiple myeloma who have not responded to or whose disease has returned after at least four prior lines (different types) of therapy. Abecma is a cell-based gene therapy approved by the FDA for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is an uncommon type of blood cancer in which abnormal plasma cells build up in the bone marrow and form tumors in several bones of the body. This disease keeps the bone marrow from making enough healthy blood cells, which can result in low blood counts.

In January 2021, Biogen Inc., a multinational biotechnology company, announced that it had entered into a collaboration with two U.S.-based biotechnology companies, Atalanta Therapeutics and Genentech, to co-develop RNAi therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative central nervous system (CNS) disorders such as Huntington’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.

Global Cell and Gene Therapy Market: Key Trends

Increasing inorganic growth strategies by the market players

Increasing inorganic growth strategies adopted by the market players for cell and gene therapies is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in May 2021, Biogen Inc, a U.S.-based multinational biotechnology company, announced topline results from the Phase 2/3 XIRIUS study of cotoretigene toliparvovec (BIIB112), a gene therapy being investigated as a one-time therapy for patients with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). XLRP is a rare, inherited retinal disease that is associated with progressive vision loss as the light-sensing cells of the retina gradually deteriorate. Initial symptoms are difficulty seeing at night, followed by restriction of the field of vision and eventually blindness in most people by the age of 40. Patients living with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) currently have no approved treatments.

Similarly, in March 2021, Biogen, a U.S. based multinational biotechnology company, announced that it had planned for a new gene therapy manufacturing facility at its Research Triangle Park campus in North Carolina, the southeastern region of the U.S. The 175,000-square-foot facility had been designed to scale up the manufacturing of the products that are in Biogen's gene therapy pipeline i.e. BIIB111 (timrepigene emparvovec) to treat the inherited retinal disease choroideremia. The expansion will help Biogen in the development of new revenue source.

Increasing prevalence of various chronic diseases

Increasing prevalence of various chronic diseases such as cancer, multiple myloma, and others is expected to foster the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to the estimates by the GLOBOCAN 2020, around 6,900 new cases of multiple myeloma were diagnosed in South East Asia.

Furthermore, according to the estimates by the GLOBOCAN 2020, around 2,155 new cancer cases were diagnosed in the UAE.

Global Cell and Gene Therapy Market: Restraints

Unfavorable Reimbursement Policies

Kymriah, a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy,  has a listed price of US$ 475,000 for patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia and US$ 373,000 for patients with large B-cell lymphoma; and Yescarta (A Cart-T cell therapy )has a listed price of US$ 373,000. Treatment with such high price requires government support in terms of reimbursement policy for the better adoption rate.

However, cell and gene therapy has witnessed multiple setbacks from regulatory authorities in charge of reimbursement policy, which is expected to inhibit the growth of the market. For instance, in December 2020, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), U.K. concluded that Yescarta is a very expensive therapy and hence cannot be considered as a cost-effective use of National Health System (NHS) resources.

To overcome this restrain patients can opt for new reimbursement policies under which the cell and gene therapy is being added/included to avoid high cost and out of the pocket investments

Challenges associated with cell and gene therapy

Challenges associated with cell and gene therapy are enlisted below:

  • Developers of gene therapies are facing a major challenge of convincing medical settings that they should invest in highly expensive products with the expectation that long-term patient benefits justify the cost
  • Moreover, revenue of the cell and gene therapies indicated for orphan diseases remain limited due to the small size of patient population, thereby indicating commercial failure as the high cost of developing a treatment makes, it an unappealing prospect for pharmaceutical companies.
  • Though the therapies are costly, developers claim that the therapies are cost-effective to patients as they permanently receive a cure for the disease. However, it is also possible that future gene therapies targeting more common diseases may be less expensive since manufacturers could recover their research and development costs more efficiently from a larger number of patients.
