HODGKINS LYMPHOMA TREATMENT MARKET ANALYSIS

Hodgkins Lymphoma Treatment MarketSize and Trends

Approvals of the drugs by regulatory bodies for the treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma is expected to drive the global Hodgkin’s lymphoma market growth. In 2018, Seattle Genetics, Inc. received the Health Canada approval for its supplemental New Drug Submission that expands the use of Adcetris (brentuximab vedotin) in combination with AVD (Adriamycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine) chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated Stage IV Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Adcetris is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated Stage III or IV classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), in combination with doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine.

Furthermore, key players are constantly trying to expand the indications of their already approved drug. For instance, in March 2017, Merck & Co. Inc. received an approval by U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) of the drug, Keytruda for the treatment of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is approved on the basis of response durability and tumor response rate and is supposed to be administered intravenously into patients. It was originally approved in 2014. Such frequent approvals of drugs by regulatory bodies are expected to impact positively on the global Hodgkin’s lymphoma treatment market growth.
