Global Endocrine Therapy Drugs (ETDs) Market – Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
COVID-19 outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China. According to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Weekly Epidemiological Update by the World Health Organization, over 392 million cases and 4.7 million deaths due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) were reported up till February 6, 2022, across the globe.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected several markets across the globe, however, it is expected to positively impact the global endocrine therapy drugs (ETDs) market, owing to intensive research being carried out to determine the role of hormones and endocrine therapy drugs in prevention of COVID-19. For instance, according to a research article published by the Cancers journal, an open access journal of oncology, published by MDPI in August 2020, high testosterone levels might regulate transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), a cell receptor protein involved in the entry of coronavirus. Thus, clinical studies on antiandrogens (a type of endocrine therapy drug) such as bicalutamide and enzalutamide are ongoing to determine the role of antiandrogens in providing immunity against severe COVID-19 infection in cancer patients.
