Global Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Market – Insights
An immune checkpoint inhibitor is a type of drug that blocks proteins called checkpoints that are made by some types of immune system cells, such as T cells, and some cancer cells. PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4/B7-1/B7-2 are some of the checkpoint proteins found on T cells or cancer cells. On the basis of functioning, immune checkpoint inhibitors are divided into programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors, and cytotoxic t-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors. Certain immune checkpoint inhibitors are used for the treatment of cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer, lymphoma, skin cancer, and breast cancer. These inhibitors target the immune system of the body instead of the tumors and enable the immune system to recognize and target cancer cells. Iplimumab, Nivolumab, Rituximab, Blinatumomab, Proleukin, Gardasil, and Kymriah are some of the commercially available immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Global Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Market: Drivers
Development and launch of novel immune checkpoint inhibitors is expected to boost growth of the global immune checkpoint inhibitors market over the forecast period. Immune checkpoint inhibitors offer lesser adverse effects compared to conventional cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and others. This in turn has prompted market players to focus on developing immune checkpoint inhibitors that are customized to attack or block particular targets. For instance, Iplimumab, a human monoclonal antibody blocks cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4. Moreover, agents focusing on specific immune regulatory checkpoints programmed death-1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand-1 and 2 (PD-L1) such as Nivolumab, Atezolimumab, and Pembrolizumab are being used for cell lung cancer. In April 2017, Genentech USA, Inc. received the U.S. FDA accelerated approval for TECENTRIQ (atezolizumab) for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC), who are not eligible for cisplatin chemotherapy. The product is currently in phase 4 clinical syudy.
Moreover, R&D in immune checkpoint inhibitors is also expected to boost growth of the global immune checkpoint inhibitors market. For instance, according to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (CSDD) report, 2016, currently, over 130 biotech and 20 pharma companies are developing immuno-oncology therapies. Moreover, according to the New York-based, Cancer Research Institute (CRI), 2017, currently 2,004 immuno-oncology agents including 940 in clinical stage and 1,064 in preclinical stage are under development.
