Global Pancreatic Cancer Therapeutics & Diagnostics Market Expected To Reach $5.6 Billion By 2027

Palm Beach, FL – June 28, 2022 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Pancreatic cancer therapeutics and diagnostics involve medical procedures used to diagnose pancreatic cancer and subsequent treatment. Factors such as the increasing prevalence and incidence of pancreatic cancer and advancements in molecular biology, development of drugs, and diagnostic technology play a major part in market growth. With the increase in R&D initiatives, favorable reimbursement scenarios, and the launch of novel products, the market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. A report from Mordor Intelligence projected that the global pancreatic cancer therapeutics and diagnostics market, which was estimated to be USD 3,689.61 million in 2021 is expected to reach USD 5,656.58 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 7.43% from 2022 to 2027.  The report said: “Pancreatic cancer occurs when there is an uncontrollable growth of cells in the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is categorized as exocrine and endocrine, based on the cells affected by cancer. Exocrine cells in the pancreas create pancreatic enzymes. When cancer manifests in these cells, it is referred to as exocrine pancreatic cancer. Endocrine cells are a small cluster of cells and are also called islets of Langerhans. These cells create hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, releasing them into the blood flow. Cancer in these cells is called endocrine pancreatic cancer.”  Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), Epizyme (NASDAQ: EPZM), Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXSM), Precision BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: DTIL), NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN).

 

Mordor Intelligence continued: “The Chemotherapy Segment is expected to witness a major share in the Studied Market through 2027. Chemotherapy is one of the main cancer treatments that kill pancreatic cancer cells by preventing them from growing and dividing. These drugs are systemic treatments; the drugs travel through the bloodstream and damage cancer cells throughout the body. Unfortunately, chemotherapy can damage some healthy cells and cause major side effects. Chemotherapy may shrink and/or prevent the growth of pancreatic tumors.  North America dominated the overall market and is expected to retain its dominance. The United States is expected to retain its significant market share due to the rising incidence of pancreatic cancers, supportive reimbursement policies, and high healthcare spending. The USFDA is taking steps to enhance the growth of the pancreatic cancer therapeutics and diagnostic market by approving drugs in the clinical phase, thereby accelerating clinical developments. Companies and research organizations are investing in R&D. Thus, the market is expanding quickly… These clinical trials’ positive outcomes will result in a new treatment, positively influencing the regional market growth. Thus, owing to the factors mentioned above, the studied market is anticipated to register significant growth over the forecast period in the region (2027).”

 

Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC) BREAKING NEWS:  Oncolytics Biotech® Achieves Success Criteria for Efficacy in the Pancreatic Cancer Cohort of GOBLETOncolytics Biotech® today announced that the pancreatic cancer cohort of the multi-indication phase 1/2 GOBLET study has met the efficacy expansion criteria for Stage 1 of the trial. The data from the phase 1b portion of this cohort, which are featured in an abstract accepted for a poster presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer 2022, show a strong efficacy signal as evidenced by all patients achieving a partial response (n = 3). An independent safety review noted no toxicity concerns in these patients. The trial’s metastatic colorectal and advanced anal cancer cohorts are proceeding as planned.

 

The GOBLET study’s pancreatic cancer cohort is evaluating the safety and efficacy of pelareorep in combination with Roche’s anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab and the chemotherapeutic agents gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Per the study’s Simon two-stage design, any cohort meeting a pre-specified efficacy threshold in Stage 1 (defined as achieving a minimum number of objective radiologic responses by week 16) may be expanded to enroll additional patients in an optional Stage 2 study expansion. In addition to evaluating the safety and efficacy of pelareorep-atezolizumab combinations, the study seeks to assess the potential of CEACAM6 and T cell clonality to serve as predictive biomarkers that may increase the probability of success in subsequent trials by informing patient selection. The study is being conducted at 14 clinical sites in Germany and is being managed by AIO, a leading academic cooperative medical oncology group.

 

“With Stage 1’s pre-specified efficacy threshold met after just the first three patients, the GOBLET trial’s pancreatic cancer cohort is clearly exceeding expectations,” said Dirk Arnold M.D., Ph.D., Director of Asklepios Tumorzentrum Hamburg, and primary investigator of the GOBLET trial. “Novel therapeutic approaches are urgently needed in pancreatic cancer, as standard-of-care chemotherapy has a limited response rate, and less than 2% of patients are eligible for treatment with checkpoint inhibitors. Prior data in pancreatic cancer patients demonstrated pelareorep’s ability to remodel the tumor microenvironment to be less immunosuppressive. These latest results indicate that pelareorep’s immunotherapeutic effects may enhance the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors in pancreatic cancer and increase tumor response rates. This promising finding suggests that pelareorep has the potential to dramatically improve the current therapeutic approach in an indication that is amongst the most difficult to treat.”

 

Dr. Matt Coffey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oncolytics Biotech Inc., commented, “Though early, these data provide a strong and exciting signal of efficacy for the studied combination. Looking forward, we will continue to follow this cohort closely to see if its initial positive results are substantiated as additional patients are evaluated and the data mature. If this impressive signal persists, it may enable us to pursue regulatory paths in pancreatic cancer that include subsequent trials designed to facilitate an expedited approval. We intend to engage regulators to gain insights on pelareorep’s optimal path forward in pancreatic cancer later this year and believe this program has the potential to provide a significant source of value that will complement our core efforts in breast cancer.”  CONTINUED Read this full press release and more news for ONCY at:  https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-oncy/
