North America is expected to hold a dominant position in the global Hodgkin’s lymphoma market over the forecast period. Frequent research and development activities done by the government and other organizations is expected to drive the North America Hodgkin’s lymphoma treatment market growth. For instance, in December 2016, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and National Cancer Institute (NCI) commenced a U.S. FDA clinical trial of Ibrutinib in combination with Nivolumab, in the patients suffering from classical Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, in the U.S to study its efficacy. Ibritunib may block the cancer cell growth by blocking the enzymes responsible for growth and Nivolumab may block cancer cells by targeting different cells. Currently, it’s in the second phase of clinical trials. The study involves 17 participants and is estimated to be completed by 2020.
Furthermore, various outside organizations are involved in research and development activities for development and gaining the U.S. FDA approval of novel Hodgkin’s lymphoma treatment drug in the U.S.
For instance, in September 2017, Chinese PLA General Hospital, a Chinese government organization, commenced its clinical trial of Decitabine in combination with SHR – 1210. It is being used for the treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. SHR – 1210 is a monoclonal antibody, while Decitabine is an investigational drug, which is capable of boosting antigen expression. The clinical study is for analyzing the safety and efficacy of the drugs. Currently, it is in the second phase of clinical trials.
