CANCER BIOLOGICS MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Cancer Biologics Market Restraints

However, high cost associated with cancer biologic drug is one of the major restraint that is expected to hamper the global cancer biologics market growth. For instance, cost of blinatumomab is US$ 17,800 per year. Furthermore, side effects associated with cancer biologic drug such as allergic reactions, injection site reactions, weakness, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and rash yet remains another factor hindering the global cancer biologics market growth.

Global Cancer Biologics Market Drivers

The global cancer biologics market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period, owing to increasing approvals of biologic drug by regulatory authorities for the treatment of cancer. For instance, in 2018, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved blinatumomab, for the patient suffering from B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which show reduction in the severity of the disease, as the minimal residual disease (MRD) is found to be greater than or equal to 0.1%. Furthermore, in 2018, U.S FDA approved Cemiplimab-rwlc, for the treatment metastatic advanced stage cutaneous squamous cell cancer. The recommended Cemiplimab-rwlc dose for the patient is 350 mg, which is administrated as intravenous infusion over 30 minutes, in every three weeks.

Moreover, in January 2020, F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG announced about its submission of supplemental biological license to U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Tecentriq (atezolizumab), in combination with Avastin (bevacizumab) drug for most common form of liver cancer. Therefore, increasing number of regulatory approvals of biologic drug for the treatment of cancer, is expected to boost of cancer biologics market growth over the forecast period.
