Dendritic Cell and Tumor Cell Cancer Vaccines Market, 2016-2030

NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

INTRODUCTION
Cancer is an extremely complex disease and medical science is still trying to understand the numerous factors responsible for its origin, propagation, spread (metastasis) and relapse. In 2016, an estimated 1.7 million new cancer cases were reported in the US alone. Furthermore, as projected by the World Health Organization (WHO), the annual incidence of cancer worldwide is expected to rise to 24 million by 2035. Currently, there is a huge unmet need for advanced and efficient treatment interventions for cancer. Standard approaches that are currently employed to treat cancer include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Although all the three approaches are recognized as the current standard of care in cancer treatment, there are some risks and drawbacks associated with these methods.

Many pharmaceutical companies are working on identifying ways to improve these treatment methods, as well as develop new cancer therapies. One of the current focus areas is immunotherapy; it makes use of the body's own immune system, or its components, to fight cancer. So far, antibody based therapeutics, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) and antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), have had significant success as targeted anti-cancer therapies. Apart from antibody based therapies, there are other classes of immunotherapeutics that have been / are being developed to manage and treat cancer; these include immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), therapeutic cancer vaccines and other whole cell based therapies.

The USFDA has approved cancer prevention vaccines (hepatitis B vaccine (HBV) and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine) that prevent infection with cancer-causing viruses. Gardasil®, Gardasil 9® and Cervarix® are approved for the prevention of HPV-caused cancers whereas Engerix-B®, Recombivax HB®, Twinrix® and Pediarix® are approved for the prevention of chronic HBV infection. Although, preventive vaccines offer several benefits, the fact that viruses do not cause most cancers cannot be overlooked. Therefore, several companies are developing therapeutic vaccines that target specific cancers.

As of now, there are three marketed therapeutic cancer vaccines commercially available in different geographies; these are PROVENGE® (US), CreaVax-RCC® (South Korea) and TAPCells® (Chile). Despite the limited success of PROVENGE®, the first marketed dendritic cell vaccine, several stakeholders are actively engaged in the development of dendritic cell and tumor cell-based vaccines.

SCOPE OF THE REPORT
The Dendritic Cell and Tumor Cell Cancer Vaccines Market, 2016-2030 offers a comprehensive analysis of the current market landscape and future outlook of the growing pipeline of products in the therapeutic vaccines segment of the immuno-oncology domain. Currently, there are five types of such vaccines; these are dendritic cell vaccines, tumor cell vaccines, antigen / peptide vaccines, DNA vaccines and anti-idiotypic vaccines. This report is focused on the recent developments and the future potential of dendritic cell vaccines (dendritic cell loaded vaccines) and tumor cell vaccines (tumor cell loaded vaccines). Owing to the existing unmet demand for safe and effective cancer therapies and given the innate advantages of immunotherapies, we believe that dendritic cell and tumor cell cancer vaccines present lucrative opportunities for both therapy developers and investors alike.

During the course of our study, we identified a variety of dendritic cell and tumor cell cancer vaccines across various stages of development. More than 75% of these product candidates are currently in the clinical stages of development. With a rich development pipeline, this segment of the immunotherapy market has managed to capture the interest of several strategic investors and venture capital firms. During our research, we observed that over USD 1.5 billion has already been invested in this domain in past five years. Owing to the existing unmet demand for safe and effective cancer therapies and given the innate advantages of immunotherapies, we believe that dendritic cell and tumor cell cancer vaccines present lucrative opportunities for both therapy developers and investors alike.

One of the key objectives of the report was to understand the primary growth drivers and estimate the future size of the market. For this purpose, we took into consideration the following parameters:
- The dendritic cell and tumor cell vaccines pipeline, including marketed, clinical and preclinical therapies, in terms of phase of development, key players, type of donor and target indications.
- The existing and emerging technology platforms used for the development of innovative variants of cancer vaccines.
- The partnerships that have taken place in the recent past covering clinical trial collaborations, research collaborations, manufacturing and services agreements, license agreements specific to technology platforms and agreements related to the co-development and co-commercialization of promising candidates.
- Various investments and grants received by companies focused in this area including capital raised from IPOs and subsequent offerings.
- The performance of competing drug classes, complex manufacturing processes, batch-wise variability and other inherent threats to growth of the market in the short and long term.

The report offers comprehensive profiles highlighting developmental history, clinical trial details and key clinical results as well as the future market opportunity for marketed and late stage (phase III) candidates. This opportunity is linked to the target consumer segments, likely adoption rate and expected pricing. We have provided an estimate of the size of the market in the short-mid-term and long term for the period between 2016 and 2030. The base year for the report is 2016. To account for the uncertainties associated with the development of novel therapeutic classes and to add robustness to our model, we have provided three forecast scenarios portraying the conservative, base, and optimistic tracks of the market's evolution.
