Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) – Linker and Conjugation Technologies Market, 2019-2030 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) – Linker and Conjugation Technologies Market, 2019-2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

This report features an extensive study of the current landscape and the likely future opportunities within the ADC linker and conjugation technologies market, over the next 10-12 years.

One of the key objectives of the report was to estimate the existing market size and identify potential future growth opportunities for ADC linker and conjugation technologies. Based on likely licensing deal structures and agreements that are expected to be inked in the foreseen future, we have provided an informed estimate of the evolution of the market for the period 2019-2030.

The report also features the likely distribution of the current and forecasted opportunity across the:

• [A] type of linker (cleavable, non-cleavable and both)
• [B] type of conjugation (chemical, enzymatic and others)
• [C] key technologies
• [D] key geographical regions (North America, Europe and Asia Pacific/Rest of the World)

With six approved drugs, namely POLIVY (2019), LUMOXITI (2018), BESPONSA (2017), MYLOTARG (2017, reapproval), KADCYLA (2013) and ADCETRIS (2011), and more than 200 in the pipeline (clinical/preclinical stages), antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are now recognized as a potent class of targeted therapeutics.

The success of this relatively novel class of therapeutics is attributed to the ability of lead molecules to specifically identify and eliminate disease associated cells/pathogens, consequently, addressing most of the concerns related to off target toxicities. In this context, the role of the linker molecule and the conjugation technology used is pivotal. In fact, conjugation chemistry has been shown to be directly related to the drug to antibody ratio (DAR) achieved, and thereby, governs the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of an ADC. Over time, a variety of other conjugated therapeutics have also been developed and are under evaluation.

Conventional conjugation technologies used for the development of ADCs exploited the superficial lysine residues that were inherent to the native antibody structure, or the inter-chain cysteine residues, for drug-linker attachment. Over time, the evolution of recombinant DNA technology and advances in conjugation techniques, have enabled researchers to significantly improve the bioconjugation process. In fact, next-generation conjugation technologies use artificially integrated lysine/cysteine residues in order to improve the DAR of the resulting conjugate.

Additionally, there are multiple technologies that claim to offer site-specific conjugation. There are a number of other noteworthy developments in the conjugation technologies domain, which include a variety of competent platforms based on various ligation, disulfide rebridging and protein remodeling approaches. Further, linker technologies have also evolved substantially, and there is vast array of linkers, including cleavable and non-cleavable variants, which are designed to govern drug release mechanism of conjugated therapeutic molecules.

It is worth highlighting that multiple licensing agreements/collaborations have been inked between drug developers and technology providers to advance the development of pipeline ADC candidates. Over the years, a number of start-ups/small companies, offering novel conjugation technologies, more potent cytotoxins/warheads and advanced linker chemistries, have been established to facilitate development of ADCs and other conjugated pharmaceuticals. We anticipate this niche and upcoming market to witness substantial growth over the coming years.

In addition to other elements, the report includes:

• An overview of the overall landscape of ADC linker and conjugation technologies, featuring an in-depth analysis of the technologies, based on a number of parameters, such as type of technology, generation of the technology (first, second and third), type of linker (cleavable, non-cleavable), type of conjugation (chemical, enzymatic and others), site specificity (specific and non-specific), DAR of the ADCs developed, patent availability, and licensing activity. In addition, the chapter highlights a detailed landscape of linker and conjugation technologies developers and analysis based on parameters, such as year of establishment, company size and geographical location.
• Elaborate profiles of prominent technology developers engaged in this domain. Each profile features a brief overview of the company, its financial information (if available), information on its technology portfolio, recent developments and an informed future outlook.
• An analysis of the partnerships that have been established in the recent past, covering licensing agreements, product development and commercialization agreements, research and development agreements, product integration agreements, combination therapy development agreements, platform utilization agreements, and other relevant agreements.
• A list of ADC therapeutic developers that are anticipated to partner with technology providers in future based on a detailed analysis of relevant parameters, such as availability of existing partners, availability of inhouse technology, company size (employee count), company’s ADC pipeline strength, likely partners and development status of the ADC molecules.
• A detailed competitiveness analysis of ADC linker and conjugation technologies, taking into consideration the supplier power (based on the year of establishment of developer) and key technology specifications, such as ADC generation, type of linker, DAR of the ADCs developed using the technology, availability of patent protection, number of deals signed for a particular technology (2016-2019), and popularity of the technology (in terms of the number of ADCs developed using the technology).
• An in-depth analysis of the various patents that have been filed/granted related to linker/conjugation technologies till August 2019, taking into consideration parameters, such as patent type, publication year, issuing authority/patent offices involved, CPC symbol, emerging focus areas and leading industry/academic players (in terms of size of intellectual property portfolio). It also includes a patent benchmarking analysis and a detailed valuation analysis.

In order to account for future uncertainties and add robustness to our model, we have provided three market forecast scenarios, namely conservative, base and optimistic scenarios, representing different tracks of the industry’s growth.
