Cell therapy can be defined as the transfer of new cells into a patient’s body to repair or replace damaged tissue or cells to treat a disease. The introduced cells can be from patient’s own body or from the donor. Different types of cells can be utilized in cell therapy such as lymphocytes, pancreatic islet cells, stem cells, and dendritic cells. This technology of cell therapy enables the development of various types of specific human cells required for therapeutic purposes. While gene therapy involves introduction or modification of genes into a patient’s body with an objective of providing treatment, prevention or to cure a disease.
The gene therapy alters a person’s genes to cure or treat disease. This process involves various mechanisms such as introduction of modified or new gene into the patient’s body in order to treat a disease, replacement of a disease causative gene by a healthy gene copy, or inactivation of a disease causing gene which exhibits improper functioning. Gene and cell therapies may provide long lasting impact than traditional medicines.
Market Dynamics
Rising research and development activities for the development of novel technology, increasing approvals and launches of novel gene therapies for treatment of various rare diseases and robust pipeline of products which are expected to gain approval over the forecast period. Additionally, increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations by key players operating in the market are the major factors that are expected to drive growth of the U.K. cell and gene therapy research challenges market over the forecast period.
For instance, in August 2018, Novartis International AG, a global healthcare company, received European Commission’s (EC) approval for ‘Kymriah’. It is approved for the indication of treatment of patients up to 25 years of age with refractory or relapse B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and for treating adult patients with refractory or relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy.
