Pipeline Analysis: Antibody Drug Conjugates Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment

Antibody drug conjugates landscape features the presence of over 140 very large, large, mid-sized and small drug developers. It is worth mentioning that, currently, more than 280 antibody drug conjugates are either approved or being evaluated in clinical trials, whereas 250 candidates are in preclinical stages of development. All the approved ADC therapeutics have been developed to target either solid tumor or hematological cancer. Majority of the pipeline antibody-drug conjugates are being developed for the treatment of cancer, particularly breast cancer.

ADC therapeutics offer a promising approach by targeting multiple disease pathways simultaneously. Kadcyla was the first HER2 ADC to be approved by FDA for the treatment of patients with breast cancer. Since then, two more ADC therapeutics, Daiichi Sankyo - AstraZeneca’s Enhertu and Immunomedics’ Trodelvy have received approval for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer as second-line treatment. Further, Daiichi Sankyo - AstraZeneca’s Enhertu is expected to get EU approval for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer in 2023. Presently, there are over 30 antibody drug conjugates that are under development for the treatment of breast cancer. According to the WHO statistics, breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer worldwide with an estimated 7.8 million women living with breast cancer at the end of 2020. In the same year, 2.3 million new cases of women diagnosed with breast cancer were reported.

In addition to breast cancer, the approved ADCs target indications, such as leukemia, lymphoma, urothelial cancer, multiple myeloma, cervical cancer, and ovarian cancer. The increasing prevalence of oncological disorders and a rich pipeline of ADC therapeutics targeting cancer is expected to drive the antibody drug conjugate market during the forecast period.

Market Analysis: Antibody Drug Conjugate Market Size

The global antibody drug conjugate market is estimated to be worth USD 7.72 billion in 2023. These represent the revenues generated by the sales of various ADC therapeutics. Driven by the growing demand for effective therapeutics for treatment of oncological disorders, along with growing developmental pipeline and encouraging clinical trial results, the antibody drug conjugates market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.63% during the forecast period. 

Antibody drug conjugates have emerged as a viable and potent option to selectively eradicate the tumor population, with minimal side effects. Till date, several clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and therapeutic superiority (over conventional cancer treatment options) of antibody-drug conjugates. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of various oncological disorders is one of the key drivers for the antibody drug conjugate market. 

Target Analysis: HER2 ADC will Hold a Significant ADC Market Share

Currently, more than 70 antibody drug conjugates are either approved or being evaluated in clinical trials targeting HER2 for the treatment of various oncological disorders, particularly breast cancer. Roche’s Kadcyla was the first HER2 ADC to receive FDA approval in 2013, followed by Daiichi Sankyo / AstraZeneca’s Enhertu in 2019. Another HER2 ADC, Aidixi, received conditional marketing approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration for treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer (including gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma) who have received at least two types of systemic chemotherapy. The drug has been developed by China based RemeGen Biosciences. Seagen acquired exclusive worldwide license, outside of Greater China, for development and commercialization of Aidixi from RemeGen. The antibody drug conjugate market for HER2 ADC is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.16% during the forecast period.

Regional Analysis: North America to hold the Largest ADC Market Share in the Forecast Period

In the past few years, several well-funded start-ups / small companies, offering antibody drug conjugate having advanced linkers and more potent warheads have been established.
