Antibody therapeutics are a class of medical treatments that employ antibodies to mimic or enhance the immune system’s ability to fight diseases. The precision of antibody therapeutics allows for tailored treatments that provide high specificity and lower toxicity profiles than conventional drugs, making them effective in treating various conditions, including cancers, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. The increasing incidences of chronic diseases and increased healthcare expenditure globally have increased the adoption of antibody therapeutics. However, high costs associated with development and lengthy and complex regulatory approvals limit the penetration of antibody therapeutics. Nevertheless, advancements in medical technology are leading to more productive antibody production. In addition, the emergence of next-generation antibodies and supportive government initiatives for cancer care and treatments are expected to offer potential opportunities for the antibody therapeutics market.

Format: Significant utilization of monoclonal antibodies due to numerous approvals by regulatory agencies for clinical use

Antibody fragments are smaller constituents of a full-length antibody that retains antigen-binding activity. Antibody fragments include single-chain variable fragments (scFvs), antigen-binding fragments (Fabs), and variable fragment (Fv) domains. Antibody fragments offer advantages such as better tumor penetration and reduced immunogenicity, making them useful in therapeutic applications where a whole antibody structure might be less effective or appropriate. Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are engineered proteins capable of simultaneously binding to two different antigens or epitopes. This dual affinity allows BsAbs to engage multiple targets, such as cancer and immune cells, thus facilitating targeted cell killing. Bispecific antibodies have diverse applications in cancer therapy, particularly in recruiting immune cells to tumor cells to enhance the immune response against cancer. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are similar and produced by a single clone of cells, targeting a specific epitope. Monoclonal antibodies are widely used in therapies for cancer, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and more due to their high specificity. Monoclonal antibodies have become one of the major forms of biologics in therapeutic uses, with numerous mAbs approved by regulatory agencies for clinical use. Polyclonal antibodies are collections of antibodies originating from different immune cell lines and consequently recognize multiple epitopes on an antigen.

Route of Administration: Growing usage of intravenous administration of antibody therapeutics

Intravenous administration is a common route for delivering antibody therapeutics directly into the bloodstream. This method ensures immediate bioavailability, supporting rapid therapeutic action. During IV administration, therapeutic antibodies are administered by a healthcare professional via an IV line, which allows for precise control over the dosage and rate of infusion. Intravenous administration is often preferred for antibodies with larger molecular sizes or when high doses are required. Subcutaneous administration is an alternative route to inject antibody therapeutics into the fatty tissue layer beneath the skin. This method provides the convenience of self-administration, the potential for reduced healthcare costs, and improved patient quality of life. Subcutaneous administration is commonly used for chronic conditions requiring long-term treatment.

Source: Increasing use of human antibodies due to its biocompatible nature

Chimeric antibodies are engineered monoclonal antibodies composed of murine variable regions, which are the parts that bind to the antigen, and human constant regions. This genetic modification is intended to reduce the immunogenicity of the antibody when used in humans. Chimeric antibodies are preferred when a quick development is necessary, considering the murine components can be developed. Compared to human and humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies generally have a higher potential for immunogenicity but can be produced more rapidly. Human antibodies are fully derived from human gene sequences. Human antibodies are the most biocompatible type, with minimal risk of causing an immune response when administered to patients. Human antibodies are preferred for longer-term treatments due to their low immunogenicity. The development process of human antibodies can be more complex and time-consuming, which may influence decision-making based on the urgency of the therapeutic need. Humanized antibodies are similar to chimeric antibodies but have more human genetic sequences. Humanized antibodies are often used to balance reduced immunogenicity and efficient development timelines, serving as a compromise between chimeric and human antibodies.

Disease Areas: Proliferating use of antibody therapeutics for infectious diseases

Antibody therapeutics for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases aim to modulate the immune system to decrease inflammation and prevent tissue damage. These biologics target specific cell surface markers or soluble mediators such as cytokines (TNF-?, IL-6) implicated in rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. In hematology, antibody therapeutics treat various blood disorders, including anemias, clotting disorders, and hematological malignancies. The antibodies used in hematology may be designed to target specific antigens on cancer cells or to modulate coagulation pathways. Immunology-focused antibody therapeutics are geared towards diseases wherein the immune response is defective, such as in primary immunodeficiency disorders or organ transplantations where immune rejection is a risk. Antibody therapeutics in infectious diseases serve as prophylactic and treatment options, particularly for viral and bacterial pathogens resistant to traditional small-molecule drugs. The antibodies for infectious diseases can neutralize pathogens or tag them for destruction by the immune system. Neurological antibodies are a relatively new therapeutic area, mainly addressing neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. Treatment goals often include reducing aberrant protein aggregates or modulating the immune response in multiple sclerosis. Antibody therapeutics have transformed cancer treatment by targeting tumor-associated antigens, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and recruitment of immune effector functions. Within osteology, antibody therapeutics focus on bone diseases, most notably osteoporosis, by targeting bone remodeling pathways.

End User: Evolving usage of antibody therapeutics in hospitals

Hospitals represent a significant end-user for antibody therapeutics, catering to patients with acute and chronic conditions. The need-based preference for antibody therapeutics in hospitals is primarily dictated by their ability to provide immediate, specialized, and intensive care. Patients treated at hospitals often require immediate attention for severe illnesses, and antibody therapeutics can offer targeted treatment for conditions such as autoimmune diseases, cancers, and infectious diseases. Long-term care facilities serve an older population or individuals with prolonged health conditions that require sustained medical care and assistance. In long-term care settings, the need-based preference for antibody therapeutics is often for managing chronic diseases, such as Alzheimer’s or certain types of cancers. Antibody therapeutics in long-term care facilities generally focus on improving the quality of life and extending the functional independence of residents.
