DUBLIN, Oct. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Antibody Discovery Market: Focus on Services and Platforms - Distribution by Type of Service Offered, Antibody Discovery Method, Type of Antibody Generated, Nature of Antibody Generated, Therapeutic Areas and Key Geographies: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2023-2035" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global antibody discovery services and platforms market is poised for significant growth, with a projected value of over $1.6 billion in 2023 and a forecasted Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.0% during the coming years. The market is driven by pharmaceutical companies' increasing reliance on outsourcing antibody discovery processes and the growing demand for targeted therapies. Streamlining Drug Development with Outsourcing The traditional drug development process is lengthy, spanning 10-15 years and involving investments of over $2 billion. Despite these efforts and investments, more than 90% of drug candidates fail in clinical trials. To streamline drug development, reduce timelines, and mitigate financial risks associated with failed trials, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly outsourcing their discovery-stage operations to specialized contract research organizations (CROs). Outsourcing allows companies to optimize resource utilization, save costs, and tap into a global network of scientific talent, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and success rate of bringing novel antibody-based therapeutics to market. Evolution of Monoclonal Antibodies Since the approval of the first monoclonal antibody-based therapy, Orthoclone OKT3, in 1986, monoclonal antibodies have become a versatile class of biopharmaceuticals. These antibodies have seen significant advancements in engineering, format diversification, and discovery methods. Over 160 monoclonal antibodies have been approved worldwide for the treatment of diseases such as cancer, chronic inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Recent approvals include ELREXFIOT, TALVEYT, Rystiggo, COLUMVI, and EPKINLYT. Due to the complexities associated with discovering such antibodies, many firms are licensing and utilizing specialized antibody discovery platforms and technologies, driving the growth of the antibody discovery services and platforms market. Market Drivers: Biotech Advancements and Increasing Demand Key drivers of the global antibody discovery services and platforms market include recent advancements in biotechnology, a growing demand for targeted therapies, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increased R&D expenditure in the pharmaceutical industry, and a growing trend of outsourcing antibody discovery. Collaborations between academic institutions and antibody discovery companies further contribute to market growth. Market Size and Segments The global market size for antibody discovery services and platforms is projected to grow at an annualized CAGR of 11.0% during the forecast period. The hit generation segment holds the largest market share, driven by its significance in R&D expenditure. In terms of the antibody discovery method, the hybridoma method is dominant, thanks to its capability to create immortalized cell lines for continuous antibody manufacturing. Regional Analysis: North America Leads North America currently captures nearly 40% of the market, driven by a rising interest in advanced antibody discovery platforms and increased outsourcing in the pharmaceutical industry. North America is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 12% during the forecast period. Key Players and Recent Developments Key players in the antibody discovery services and platforms market include Ablexis, Antibody Solutions, ChemPartner, GenScript, Genmab, Harbour BioMed, ImmunoPrecise, Mabsilico, and more. Recent developments in the field include the launch of transgenic mouse-based antibody discovery platforms and initiatives to support the discovery of bispecific antibody formats. Recent Developments: In June 2023, AbTherx announced the launch of its transgenic mouse-based antibody discovery platform, AtlasT Mice. In June 2023, Sanyou Biopharmaceuticals, a China-based company, launched its Sanyou Super Trillion Common Light Chain Antibody Discovery Platform, which supports the discovery of bispecific antibody formats. In January 2023, IASO Biotherapeutics raised USD 75 million in a venture series C round, highlighting the increasing funding activity in the antibody drug discovery service and platform domain. In March 2023, Twist Bioscience announced the launch of its antibody discovery services under the Twist Biopharma Solutions subsidiary after acquiring Abveris, an antibody discovery CRO, in 2022.

HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gmax Biopharm LLC. announced today that its application of investigation of New Drug (IND) for GMA131 injection, the first global ETa-specific monoclonal antibody, was approved by the US FDA on Nov 11, 2022 for clinical study on diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Continue Reading Dr. Shuqian Jing, Founder and Chairman of Gmax Biopharm, said, "GMA131 is the first genuine ETa-specific monoclonal antibody developed by Gmax Biopharm. It specifically blocks ET-1/ETa signal transduction with no cross-reactivity with ETb. GMA131 is the same molecule as GMA301 which is currently in a Phase Ib trial of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in China/USA. Pre-clinical and clinical studies indicate that this molecule demonstrates excellent safety profile with superior efficacy to small molecule endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) in the high fat diet-STZ induced DKD model. GMA131 is expected to be a new generation drug for DKD." Endothelin (ET-1) and its receptors (ETa and ETb) are widely distributed in the kidney. ET-1/ETa axis regulates renal hemodynamics, function and structural integrity of glomerular filtration barrier, mesangial cell proliferation, extracellular matrix accumulation, inflammation, fibrosis etc., actively contributes to the development and progression of DKD and chronic kidney disease. Meanwhile, ETb plays an important role in the regulation of salt-water homeostasis. Clinical trials of small molecule ERAs have shown that ETa selective antagonists can reduce proteinuria and improve renal function in DKD patients. However, water/sodium retention due to non-specific binding with ETb and the adverse effects due to the specific structure of small molecules are the main obstacles for clinical application of small molecule ERAs. In clinical trials, GMA301, the same molecule as GMA131, has shown superior safety profile in healthy volunteers and pulmonary arterial hypertension patients, without water/sodium retention and edema commonly associated with small molecule ERAs. DKD, the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease (ESRD), is one of the most important complications of diabetes. About one third of diabetic patients will develop DKD, and will eventually progress to ESRD within about 5 years if presented with massive proteinuria. According to IDF Diabetes Atlas 10th Edition 2021, approximately 537 million adults (20-79 years of age) are living with diabetes worldwide in 2021, about 1 in 10 adults. The numbers are predicted to rise to 783 million (12.2%) in 2045. DKD has become one of the major diseases that seriously endanger human health. As the first ETa-specific monoclonal antibody drug worldwide, GMA131 is poised to offer exceptional benefit to the DKD patients! About Gmax Biopharm LLC: Gmax is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company established in 2010 and headquartered in Hangzhou, China. It's a global company focusing on R&D, production and commercialization of antibody drugs targeting GPCRs. Gmax mainly works on cardiovascular, metabolic and cancer areas. Currently there are five drug development programs in different stages of clinical trials: GMA 102 (type 2 diabetes), GMA105 (obesity), GMA301A (PAH for adults), GMA301B (PAH for children), GMA106 (obesity/T2DM/NASH). GMA131 (DKD/CKD) is about to enter into phase 1b trial in the USA. Its unique M-body technology empowers acting on two or more different targets to improve drug efficacy or broaden indications.
