Market Definition
Natural killer (NK) cells are large granular lymphocytes that have the ability to quickly respond to a pathological challenge. They are important components of the innate immune system and play an important role in generating an immune response against malignancies and infectious diseases caused by viral pathogens. They have been recognized to induce the direct killing of targeted cells involving cancer cells. They have the ability to recognize the multitude of infected cells without being dependent on a single antigen-expressing cell.
NK cells secrete cytokines and chemokines that recruit other immune cells such as T cells and B cells, which enhances the immune response against the tumor cells. As NK cells do not express T cell receptors, they induce a low risk of graft-versus-host disease. Moreover, iPSC cell lines derived NK cell therapy that is CAR-NK therapy overcomes the need for a long and complex manufacturing process that allows patients with aggressive tumors to afford tumor treatment as soon as possible. Along with this iPSC derived NK cells can be infused repeatedly, which enhances the immune response with dose regulation.
Global Natural Killer (NK) Cell Therapeutics Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
DRIVERS
- Increase in Patient Population with Chronic Diseases
Chronic diseases are diseases that generally occur in older adults that can be controlled but not cured such as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, stroke, or cancer. They are a worldwide healthcare problem concern. The change in lifestyle along with physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, and tobacco use is increasing the burden of chronic diseases all over the world.
An increasing number of patients population with chronic diseases led the scientist and researchers to work on a new innovative therapeutic approach so as to provide patients with the best curative treatment option, which can be achieved by using NK cell therapy that has the potential to generate a strong immune response and has the anti-tumor capability as well.
- Rise in Awareness about Immunotherapies
As cancer is a devastating disease and available treatment options may cause the reoccurrence of tumors, the need for the best therapeutic approach is increasing day by day. Immunotherapies have attracted a lot of attention in recent years for the treatment of various types of malignancies. Among the immunotherapies, CAR–T cell therapies have been studied and were used as well but have several limitations, which led to the development of NK cell therapies. As a drug based on an NK cell therapeutic approach has not been approved yet, it thus needs to raise awareness among the population.
This is why several organizations and market players are launching a campaign to enhance awareness regarding NK cell therapies.
OPPORTUNITY
- Strategic Initiatives by Market Players
Various strategic initiatives are adopted by market players which involve expansion, acquisition, and collaboration among others. These initiatives help them to increase the company’s product portfolio leading to market expansion and hence enhancing the product demand among customers, which ultimately leads the players to earn maximum revenue.
As the demand for effective and affordable NK cell immunotherapy is increasing worldwide, these strategic initiatives are taken by top market players aimed at enhancing business operations and earning more profitability in the market.
RESTRAINT/CHALLENGE
- Lack of Specificity and Poor In Vivo Survival of the cells
Lack of specificity and poor in-vivo survival of NK cells poses a challenge in front of manufacturers dealing in the market. The lack of specificity of NK cells leads to targeting the wrong cells, which can lead to ineffective treatment. Along with this, the lack of specificity and poor in-vivo survival of NK cells also reduces the therapeutic effect of administered NK cell therapy.
Such problems decrease the credibility of therapy used in clinical trials and pose a challenge in front of manufacturers while getting approval.
Recent Developments
- In January 2022, Takeda acquired Adaptate biotherapeutics to develop novel gamma delta (γδ) T cell engager therapies targeting solid tumors. Through the acquisition, Takeda will obtain Adaptate’s antibody-based γδ T cell engager platform, including pre-clinical candidate and discovery pipeline programs. Adaptate’s γδ T cell engagers are designed to specifically modulate γδ T cell-mediated immune responses at tumor sites while sparing damage to healthy cells. This acquisition helped the company to focus on R&D.
- In December 2021, Nektar Therapeutics announced phase 1b data for novel T regulatory cell stimulator NKTR-358 (LY3471851) in patients with atopic dermatitis. NKTR-358 is designed to treat autoimmune and inflammatory conditions by correcting the immune system imbalance that results from increased levels of inflammatory T cells and reduced numbers and impaired function of immune regulating Treg cells. This has helped the company to focus on R&D for further phases.
