Moreover, Asia Pacific peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) market is expected to hold a significant market share during the forecast period, owing to increasing treatment therapies on neuroendocrine tumor. For instance, in March 2021, according to National Canter for Biotechnology Information, the two most commonly used radio-peptides is 90Y-DOTATOC and 177Lu-DOTATATE for radionuclide therapy in neuroendocrine tumors.

Global Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is now considered a pandemic imposing a tremendous challenge on many nuclear medicine departments. Whereas preliminary precautions have been addressed regarding the risk of infection, the potential impact of COVID-19 on the risk benefit ratio of nuclear medicine treatments remains unknown. Here, risk factors for COVID-19 severity with regard to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), focusing on the question of whether lymphopenia increases risk of infection-related morbidity.

In particular, there is no clear theoretic indication that PRRT places patients at significantly greater risk of acquiring COVID-19 or developing more severe infection-related complications. Anecdotal experiences among us suggest that PRRT treated patients are not overly represented among our COVID-19 positive patients.

 Global Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) Market Segmentation:

The global peptide receptor radionuclide market report is segmented into Drug Type, Disease Indication, Distribution Channel, and Region

Based on Drug Class, the market is segmented into peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, Lutetium (Lu-177), Yttrium-90, Indium-111 and others.

Global Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) Market: Restraint

High cost associated with cancer treatment to restrain growth of the market

 The total annual economic cost of cancer treatment in 2022 was estimated at US$ $25.20 trillion, globally. Moreover, till 2021, only one PRRT drug was approved in the U.S. and Europe, based on peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) and used in the treatment of somatostatin receptor positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) including foregut, midgut, and hindgut neuroendocrine tumors in adults. Therefore, lack of drugs is another major factor restraining growth of this market. Novartis company’s drug named Lutathera is priced at US$ 47,500 for a full course of treatment, which comprises four infusions (cost for total 4-doses is US$ 190,000). Therefore, such high cost of drugs is expected to restrain growth of this market.

Global Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) Market: Key Players

Major players operating in the global Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) Market include Novartis AG, Advanced Accelerator Applications, S.A, ITM Solucin and Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trials Group.

*Definition: A type of radiation therapy applied to particular neuroendocrine tumor types. A peptide (a tiny protein that targets cancer cells) is connected to a radioactive chemical. After being injected into the body, this radioactive peptide interacts to a particular receptor present on some cancer cells. The radioactive peptide accumulates in these cells and aids in the destruction of cancer cells while sparing healthy cells. One kind of targeted therapy is radionuclide therapy for peptide receptors, also known as PRRT.
