DUBLIN, Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Contract Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing Market 2020-2026 - Supply Chain Optimization and Decentralized Manufacturing to Expand the Industry" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This research service focuses on the critical role being played by CDMOs in not only supporting new product research and development but also in creating standardized manufacturing protocols.
Additionally, the study explores different cross-sections of the market and discusses market dynamics for autologous and allogeneic solutions for cell and gene therapies and for products being manufactured for clinical trial use and for commercial markets. The variability in market dynamics, manufacturing protocols, and business models across cross-sections is high. Therefore, the study also covers the emergence of non-traditional CDMOs that have thrived as a result of this variability.
The cell and gene therapy segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the biopharmaceutical space. While the science behind the therapy has grown by leaps and bounds on the back of decades worth of research, manufacturing has unfortunately lagged behind.
To fully harness the curative potential of these therapies and ensure greater reach and affordability to patients, it is imperative that aggressive investments in manufacturing technology and capacity are made today. Investments in manufacturing technology advancements including automation, single-use technologies, and GMP-in-a-box, will not only enable operational efficiency gains but also reduce project costs, generating benefits which can be transferred directly to the patients.
A large part of this growth in the cell and gene therapy product pipeline is being driven by small and mid-sized biotechs that depend on CDMOs to mitigate product development risks and diffuse infrastructure investments to be able to build future products pipeline.
The study also provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of nationally coordinated efforts towards infrastructure development and the rise of academic institutes and hospitals in meeting not only the demand from clinics, but also the demand of the commercial market.
The study also analyses the growth of specialist CDMOs focusing on vectors and plasmids, for instance. The captures the regional outlook for growth based on the currently installed capacities as well as the pipeline investments being made towards expansion. Lastly, the study tracks growth opportunities across the entire product development spectrum from supply chain to upstream and downstream manufacturing.

Patients have been blinded or have experienced retinal detachments after treatment with so-called stem cell therapies such as intravitreal injections of autologous stem cells that are not FDA approved for many ocular conditions across the US and that were marketed directly to patients.
Ajay Kuriyan, MD, MS, and colleagues had previously identified 40 such business with 70 clinics in the US that advertise these treatments directly to consumers.
Related: Improve patient comfort with intravitreal injections
He explained that the FDA began to issue permanent injunctions against these company, including US Stem Cell Clinic, LLC, US Stem Cell Inc., and the Cell Surgical Network Corporation.
Currently, the FDA has regulatory authority over such companies and since June 2019, has been issuing orders to prevent them from developing or distributing stromal vascular fraction products that are not FDA approved, he explained.
In light of this kind of marketing activity, Adam Ross-Hirsch, MD, first author of the study under discussion, and colleagues set out to determine the scope of U.S.-based businesses advertising and administering cell therapy for ocular conditions, by looking at the businesses public websites to see what has changed since they first published their findings in 2017.1
The investigators identified these business by searching the Internet using specific keywords, such as clinic locations, marketed ocular conditions, types of cell therapy offered, routes of administration, affiliation with credentialed physician, safety language, and treatment costs.
Related: Intravitreally injected hRPCs improve vision in retinitis pigmentosa cases
Results The results of the analysis showed that 13 companies had removed their advertisements for ocular conditions, and 6 discontinued their URLs.
However, despite these findings, the total number of companies promoting treatment remained almost the same as the first study.
A total of 39 businesses with 62 clinics were identified by August 2019; 14 of these and 20 clinics were newly identified, Dr. Ross-Hirsch reported.
Most of the clinics were in Texas (n=12), California (n=11), Florida (n=10), and Illinois (n=10). When the investigators compared these numbers of clinics to those previously identified, the number in California decreased by 48% and the ones in Texas more than doubled, he said.
Thirty of the 39 companies reported that they were affiliated with at least 1 credentialed physician. Six businesses claimed to be associated with ongoing clinical trials, however, only 2 were registered on the clinicaltrials.gov website.
Related: Stem cell transplantation: Restoring vision in AMD may be possible
Most of the identified companies did not show their treatment fees, but of the 4 that did the costs ranged from $4,000 to $12,000/treatment. Consultation fees ranged from $350 to $800 when they were listed.
All businesses marketed treatments for ocular diseases that included age-related macular degeneration [AMD], optic neuritis, retinitis pigmentosa [RP], diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, he said. Most claimed to be able to treat AMD followed by RP.
The cell therapies most often advertised were autologous adipose-derived stem cells followed by autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells, which was similar to the previous study.
Related: Exploring novel gene therapy approaches to treat ocular disease
Making claims In commenting on the findings, Kuriyan said, These websites contained various claims regarding the safety and the FDA, but the language contained variable and vague claims about the safety of the various cell therapies.
Examples of the language were the following: not approved or evaluated by the FDA, participation in patient funded clinical research, use of FDA or institutional review board approved equipment and/or protocols for cell isolation, and use of FDA guidelines for minimally manipulated same-day procedures intended for homologous use.
Ten companies did not mention the FDA, while other claims were that the advertised therapies were safe under FDA regulation and no knowledge in the current literature of serious harm transpiring due to the use of these products, he emphasized.
Related: Stem cells for dry AMD with GA show promise in early study
These companies identified in the study have the potential to leverage a faade of scientific legitimacy to capitalize on patients understandable desperation for effective sight-restoring therapies. Stem cell therapy is an area of active, intense, and scientifically rigorous research. In the future, it may safely and effectively treat a number of ocular conditions, Kuriyan stated.
Lacking evidence These companies persist despite the absence of high-quality evidence of the efficacy of the treatment, FDA approval of the procedures, the increasing regulatory oversight and legal action against some of these companies, and evidence of severe visual loss as a result of the procedures.
Based on these findings, the investigators concluded that these companies persist in their US-based direct-to-consumer marketing of cell therapies for ocular conditions. Related: Exploring safety of stem cells for dry AMD
Ross-Hirsch emphasized the importance of both counseling by ophthalmologists and optometrists for patients as a safeguard against these companies and as stem cell therapies enter well-designed trials and evidence-based practice and federal regulation. However, regulation remains limited.
Conclusion Direct marketing of cell therapies persists in the US. As of August 2019, at least 39 such companies are operating in the US. Current federal regulation is limited and the marketing on the internet is pervasive.
Counseling will serve as a safeguard for patients and become increasingly important as stem cell therapies enter well-designed clinical trials and possibly evidence-based practice. Read more by Lynda Charters

Inside Oxford Vaccine Group's laboratories in Oxford, England, on Nov. 19, 2020.
ANDREW TESTA/The New York Times News Service
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau engaged in a strange bit of misdirection on Tuesday when he said Canada would not be among the first countries to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, because it no longer has any domestic production capacity for vaccines.
The United States, the United Kingdom and Germany are all aiming to start inoculating people in a matter of weeks, based on the fact the manufacturers of some of the leading vaccine candidates have production capacity on their shores.
Canada, on the other hand, will have to wait until the early months of 2021, Mr. Trudeau said.
Story continues below advertisement
Its puzzling why he would mention something that, on the surface, is worrisome to Canadians, but in fact applies to most of the world.
The only Western country with any kind of a guarantee that it will be able to begin inoculations in December is the U.S., and thats because the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines two of the three closest to approval will first roll out there.
Germany has a deal, along with Italy, the Netherlands and France, with AstraZeneca that could see it share 400 million doses of the promising Oxford vaccine by the end of this year.
The U.K. could have the Oxford vaccine by then, too, but it will not have access to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines until next year.
As well, all the leading manufacturers are busy creating non-U.S. supply chains that will begin delivery early in 2021.
Its not even true that Canada has no domestic production capacity for traditional vaccines. And the feds earlier this year funded expansions at two vaccine facilities; one in Montreal was supposed to be capable of producing 250,000 doses a month by November and two million by next year. However, there just is no immediate capacity to make the vaccines developed by Moderna and Pfizer, which use a groundbreaking gene therapy.
Ottawa probably should have spent more on a bigger domestic production facility and pushed for it to be built faster. But the federal government was aggressive in ordering close to 400 million doses from multiple manufacturers, while those vaccines were still in testing and development. By contracting for far more doses than Canada will ever need, Ottawa bought a kind of insurance policy. Assuming the manufacturers honour the contracts, there should be more than enough to go around.
Story continues below advertisement
So why did Mr. Trudeau alarm the population and arm the opposition?
Its hard to explain, unless you look at the debate over Canadas ability to quickly get its hands on a new vaccine as a distraction from a more pressing issue: Ottawas glaring lack of a plan to distribute and administer those millions of doses.
In the U.K., the government has designated 1,250 local health clinics as injection sites that will give the first available vaccines to vulnerable people, such as the elderly, as early as next month.
It is also setting up at least 42 mass vaccination sites, such as conference centres, which if all goes well will begin serving the rest of the population beginning in January.
In the U.S., the federal government has hired a retired general who ran the armys supply chain to distribute vaccines to injection sites in each state on a per capita basis. The doses will come with prepackaged kits containing syringes, wipes and personal protective equipment.
And in Canada? We get platitudes from Health Minister Patty Hajdu about how the government is working around the clock to come up with a concrete plan with the provinces and territories.
Story continues below advertisement
Given the poor job Ottawa and the provinces have done on testing and tracing, which have the same logistical challenges, theres reason to be concerned that when vaccines arrive, their distribution will be haphazard.
Tell us: Who is in charge of distribution at the federal level? Who are their counterparts in the provinces and territories? Who will get inoculated first? Will the vaccines be allocated to provinces on a per capita basis or by some other formula?
Where will the vaccines be delivered? In pharmacies? Hospitals? Temporary sites in hockey arenas? Who will staff them? What other infrastructure is needed?
Canadians have no clue about any of these things. And right now there is zero concrete evidence that their governments do either.

Impact of Covid 19 On Brain Tumor Treatment Market 2020 Industry Challenges Business Overview And Forecast Research Study 2026 - The Market Feed
So, lurbinectedin is being studied in other diseases like breast cancer, mesothelioma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, among others. But the difference in these other conditions compared to small cell [lung cancer] is there are other treatment options that are reasonably effective in these other cancers, unlike in small cell, so that's where it becomes much more important in in this particular setting.
One other reason why lurbinectedin may be effective is, like I told you earlier, there is a group of cells that seem to be shielded from chemotherapy. We call them cancer stem cells. And there are some lab data that suggests that lurbinectedin may inhibit cancer stem cells, as well. Again, this is all preliminary data. And we don't necessarily know if that occurs in humans or not, but those are some of the hypothesized mechanisms of action.
What other advantages are there of lurbinectedin over topotecan?
One of the other advantages of lurbinectedin over topotecan is that topotecan has to be given 5 days in a row, whereas lurbinectedin is given just once every 3 weeks. And the side effect profile of lurbinectedin seems to be favorable. The main side effect of lurbinectedin is bone marrow suppression, anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia, [and] thrombocytopenia, but they seem to occur in about 5% to 10% of patients. And so, that's another possible advantage of lurbinectedin over for some of the other drugs that are available.
As far as small cell lung cancer itself is concerned, even though there is a lot of research going on in small cell, multiple different drugs have been triedtargeted therapies, immunotherapythere is some evidence to suggest that immunotherapy helps with chemotherapy in the frontline setting. But immunotherapy by itself in patients who have failed chemotherapy does not seem to be much more effective. People have tried targeted therapies, again, not one of them has shown to have any meaningful benefit for these patients. So that has been very disappointing.
There have been multiple drugs that have been studied. Unfortunately, none of them have had a significant benefit so far. So, it's a fairly difficult to treat disease. And like I mentioned earlier, even though it seems to respond quite well to initial chemotherapymost patients relapse and very few are cured even if they present with very early stage disease. And that's why it's a very challenging disease to treat.
