Dublin, Sept. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Claudin 18.2-Targeted Immunotherapy: A Landscape Analysis of Stakeholders, Drug Modalities, Pipeline and Business Opportunities from An Industry Perspective" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This comprehensive report offers valuable insights into the world of claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2)-targeted antibody and cell therapy candidates, as of August 2023. CLDN18.2, a transmembrane protein found exclusively on the surface of cancer cells in gastric epithelial tissues, takes center stage in this analysis from an industry perspective.
You'll delve into the industry landscape surrounding innovative claudin18.2-targeted antibody and cell therapy candidates. The report shines a light on 48 companies actively engaged in research and development within this field, highlighting 68 unique product candidates.
Each company is meticulously profiled, providing essential details about their history, financial status, technological advancements, partnership agreements, and a comprehensive overview of their CLDN18.2-specific pipeline.
Moreover, you'll find detailed profiles of 56 anti-CLDN18.2 immunotherapy candidates. These profiles offer insights into candidate design and construction, applied technologies, preclinical in vitro and in vivo performance, and, where available, clinical experience.
Rest assured, all information is rigorously sourced, with 107 scientific references, including conference abstracts, posters, presentations, full papers, and hyperlinks to corporate sources such as press releases, presentations, annual reports, SEC disclosures, and website content. Explore the world of CLDN18.2-targeted therapies with confidence through this comprehensive industry analysis.
The naked monoclonal antibody zolbetuximab has become the current gold standard and benchmark for all follow-on anti-CLDN18.2 immunotherapy candidates as zolbetuximab is the only candidate that has been evaluated in controlled pivotal clinical studies. Regulatory agencies in the US, the European Union, Japan and China have accepted license applications for zolbetuximab in June/July 2023 and potential approvals and market launches are expected during the course of 2024.
The clinical profile of zolbetuximab showed statistically significant and clinically relevant improvements in progression free survival by 1.94 or 1.41 months and in overall survival of 2.69 or 2.23 in the SPOTLIGHT or GLOW phase III trials, respectively. Major adverse events were gastrointestinal symptoms nausea, vomiting and decreased appetite. Furthermore, only 39.1% of gastric cancer patients were eligible to treatment with zolbetuximab. One of the inclusion criteria was expression of CLDN18.2 in tumor tissue defined by moderate to strong staining in at least 75% of cancer cells.
This product profile leaves sufficient space for improvements in efficacy, safety and patient eligibility by next generation anti-CLDN18.2 immunotherapy candidates.
To generate more effective and safe CLDN18.2-targeted antibody and cell therapy candidates, several drug modalities with potential for enhanced effector function, increased safety and broader patient population have applied:
- Naked monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with enhanced target affinity and increased ADCC, CDC & ADCP;
- Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with improved linker & conjugation technology and payloads;
- Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-Cells (CAR-T) with improved constructs (signalling domains, armored, modular design);
- Anti-CLDN18.2 Bispecific T-Cell Engaging (BiTE or TCE) Antibodies for recruitment of cytotoxic T-cells;
- 2-Targeted Bispecific Immuno-Oncology (I-O) Antibodies for checkpoint blockade or immune stimulation.
