Global Cell & Gene Therapy Business and Investment Opportunities - Analysis & Market Size by Technology, Clinical Trials, Patents, Financial Deals, Competitive Landscape - Q2 2023 Update

According to the publisher, global cell and gene therapy market size is expected to record a CAGR of 20.4% during 2023-2027 to reach US$54.490 billion by 2027, increasing from US$21.506 billion in 2023. Over the last five years, the sector has recorded a CAGR of 26.0% to reach US$17.069 billion in 2022.

The lives of people all over the world have been improved by traditional methods of patient treatment that use drugs and surgery, yet there are many diseases possibly even most of them for which these conventional methods only slow the progression of the illness without curing it. This flaw is especially evident when treating monogenic diseases, which are congenital illnesses brought on by single-gene abnormalities.

More than 30 million people in the United States are thought to be affected by one of the more than 7,000 rare diseases that exist. Cells and genetically modified cells are "living drugs" that may repair and replace damaged tissues or ill organs, which makes them fundamentally different from medications and surgery. Due to these characteristics, they may be used to treat a variety of conditions.

There are presently six FDA-approved CAR-T cell therapies available to patients in the United States and Europe to treat different types of blood cancers. These are quite promising therapies that are being developed for both rare and common disorders.

A glimmer of hope for patients waiting for long-term, potentially curative treatments is the fact that more than 1,000 clinical trials, including 200 in Phase III, are now under progress. Phase I/II combo studies are frequently used. Because it enables sponsors to improve and accelerate their clinical development programmes, this design approach is still being used more and more in the industry. The industry must overcome funding, regulatory, and legislative barriers, and many patients won't benefit unless we transform the way we provide healthcare.

An expansion of the CGT pipeline expects increased global cell and gene therapy market growth

The year 2022 marked a turning point for the licencing of never-before-approved gene treatments, with three new medications licenced to treat uncommon illnesses and another authorised to treat bladder cancer. This is just the first wave of the transforming ripple. By the end of 2023, innovative cell or gene therapies may have received approval for use in Europe, the United States, or both. The industry is on the verge of achieving the FDA's widely reported 2,019 forecast that 10-20 innovative cell and gene therapies will be approved annually by 2025.

• In December 2022 a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy called Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel) has been approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for the initial treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL), including those with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, transformed follicular lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma.
• Yescarta® (axicabtagene ciloleucel), a CAR T-cell treatment, was given FDA approval in April 2022 for treating adult patients with large B-cell lymphoma.
• The European Commission (EC) approved Kymriah® (tisagenlecleucel), a CAR-T cell therapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy, according to Novartis.
• Commercial demand for Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel) remained strong into 2022. In addition to increasing manufacturing capacity, 2seventy bio and BMS made major advancements in key supply chain indicators.
• In 2023, the company projects topline U.S. sales of $470-$570M thanks to further expansions in the manufacturing capacity of vector and pharmacological products, including an extra adherent vector manufacturing suite. 2seventy Bio anticipates additional commercial growth with an anticipated label expansion in 2024-2025. With this expansion, 2seventybio anticipates that Abecma will produce $200-300M in operational income for 2seventybio between 2024 and 2025.
• The first cell-based gene therapy, Zynteglo (betibeglogene autotemcel), has been given the green light by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat adult and paediatric beta-thalassemia patients who need regular red blood cell transfusions

In the future, it's anticipated that M&A activity will increase in cell and gene therapy market

• In the field of CGT, where licencing and cooperative arrangements continue to dominate. This is hardly surprising given the relative youth of CGT technology, as there are still questions about values and technical obstacles. Partnerships give the licensor or investor a reduced risk way to increase CGT offerings without taking on full financial responsibility or experiencing the productivity disruption frequently associated with M&A.
• Investments are going into firms of all stages of development, from start-ups to significant acquisitions by big pharmaceutical firms. In 2019, to purchase Celgene, Bristol Myers Squibb paid $74 billion. The largest of them are involved in oncology treatments.
• Cell and gene therapy market draws an increased amount and share of public and private investment despite the limited number of licenced products. Despite the fact that during the past ten years, all private sector investment in the life sciences has increased significantly, the exponential growth of overall investments in cell and gene therapy firms is extraordinary.
• Neogene Therapeutics, a global clinical-stage biotechnology firm that is leading the discovery, development, and production of next-generation T-cell receptor treatments (TCR-Ts), which provide a unique cell therapy strategy for treating cancer, has announced that AstraZeneca is acquiring it.

Growing cell and gene therapy enterprises have received support from this surge in private money as they reach the stock market. Initially, it showed early growth but later it went through a period of severe distortions during the pandemic. It is expected that cell and gene firms return to a more measured growth trajectory, underpinned by a growing number of clinical milestones and perhaps more regulatory approvals, as stock markets adapt and the economy picks up through the projected period.

European region may regain its feet in the field of cell and gene therapy with regulatory checks

• Although authorities in the US and Europe are moving forward with reforming their regulatory frameworks in response to scientific advancements, barriers to patient access remain a major issue in both places.
• The European Union will update its pharmaceuticals legislation; the proposal is anticipated in the first quarter of 2023. The project will have a significant impact on whether European patients have access to advanced therapy medicinal products for years to come by balancing affordability and access, among other issues.
• Europe faces tremendous challenges, particularly when it comes to access. Having the European Medicines Agency, a top-notch regulatory organisation, and having approved the first gene therapy, Europe has been a tremendous pioneer in the sector in many ways. However, due to a combination of complex factors, Europe is already lagging on certain crucial fronts.

Regulatory trends that will shape the future of the cell and gene therapy market

• In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that filing application numbers would rise. The amount of requests for Breakthrough (BT) and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designations, which are submitted concurrently with or during an ongoing IND file, has recently increased. While the benefits of BT and RMAT designations are comparable to those of fast-track designation, these designations also call for more robust supporting documentation.
• Within the framework of the NIH Accelerating Medicines Partnership Program, the FDA recently launched a new effort. The Bespoke Gene Therapy Consortium (BGTC) was established to remove significant barriers and streamline the small-batch gene therapy research process. By giving details on basic and clinical research, manufacturing, production, and regulatory needs, the BGTC will serve as a traffic light for these therapies.
• The FDA's "INTERACT" casual meeting programme is a relatively new project. This initiative involves informal talks between the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) employees and researchers/sponsors who are in the pre-IND stage of development to address the concerns and demands faced by the CGT industry within current clinical guidelines. The INTERACT meetings do not charge anything under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA). They are given based on CBER's resources and availability, and they do not take the place of other official meetings. Therefore, it is advised to ask for a pre-IND meeting before submitting an IND to start the Phase I first-in-human investigation. This is crucial when looking for advice on the designs of toxicity study plans.
• The FDA has just launched the Gene Therapy Pilot Program, which entails giving sponsors input in real-time throughout the clinical development process. The development cycle and submission review time should be sped up by the combination of new meeting formats. Together, these programmes provide opportunities for sponsors and regulators to speak and debate technical advancements more frequently.

To ensure that patients benefit from this technology, however, there are crucial challenges that exist within the cell and gene therapy market and they must be resolved. Industry and the healthcare sector are prepared to invest in the CGT ecosystem and have faith that long-term problems (such as costs, safety, and reimbursement) will be resolved.

Firms in the cell and gene therapy market and their investors should understand and distinguish marketing hype from legitimate science. This is a new market with enormous potential opportunities, but it still carries many risks until it is economically established. The potential of CGT to usher in a new era of medicine has undoubtedly inspired a lot of optimism globally
