One of the most frequently diagnosed cancers worldwide accounts for breast cancer with respect to its high prevalence and fatalities gaits. Hitherto, the management of breast cancer remains a hassle to healthcare professionals. Breast Cancer, a heterogeneous and complex disease, demands innovative treatment strategies to confront its varied manifestations. In recent years, the spotlight has turned towards a promising field the synergy of combining different types of antibodies, which will aid to offer a potential breakthrough in the battle against the formidable adversary, breast cancer. The realm of combinational antibodies has emerged as an innovative treatment regimens in which by harnessing the potential of different types of antibodies with therapeutic agents aid to treat breast cancer. Conventionally, traditional therapies like hormone therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy were utilized which exhibited good efficacy and tolerability to breast cancer. However, there exist numerous patients who don’t respond to conventional treatment, creating a major room for improvement. As a result, there is an urgent need of combinational antibodies for the treatment of multiple patients suffering from breast cancer malignancies. Download Antibodies Combinations Therapy Research Insight: The notion of combining antibodies with other therapeutic agents clenches long chronicle which can be backtracked to the late 1990s in which the first monoclonal antibody, Trastuzumab, sold under the brand name Herceptin, was approved by FDA in 1998. Since then, numerous researches for combining different types of monoclonal antibodies like Trastuzumab are being ongoing in the domain with the key objective of developing advanced and innovative antibody combination in order to provide treatment for breast cancer indications. Following that, antibody combinations such as pertuzumab (Perjeta) in conjugation with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and Phesgo (combination of Herceptin, Perjeta along with enzyme Hyaluronidase) are being approved in the year 2012 and 2020 for the management of breast cancer malignancies. Apart from that, numerous combination of antibodies with chemotherapy are enduring that evaluates the role of antibodies with immune checkpoint inhibitors, like PD-1, and HER2 which have already been approved for the management of breast cancer. For instance, Trastuzumab in combination with Pyrotinib, dual inhibitor of EGFR/HER2, is currently in the clinical research for the treatment of breast cancer. The treatment regimen is lately in the phase III stage of development which is sponsored by Shengjing Hospital. With ceaseless advancement and progress in antibody combinations along with molecular biology techniques, helps in managing breast cancer. Preliminary data exhibits remarkable heterogeneity of breast cancer at the molecular level. Utilizing the realm of antibody combinations offers multifaceted approaches, addressing diverse molecular pathways and subtypes. This strategy seeks to overcome the limitations of the single agent therapies by comprehensively targeting different aspects of the disease. The clinical pipeline in the sphere of antibody combination consists of multitudinous combinations of antibodies with chemotherapies, immunomodulatory drugs, vaccines, together with immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as CTLA-4, PD-1 and PD-L1, PARP inhibitorsPARP inhibitors, CDK4/6 inhibitors, bispecific antibodies, CAR T cell therapies, antibody drug conjugates, and others. Besides, the market for antibody combinations also includes the presences of Herceptin bio similar in the clinical pipeline. The aim of these studies is to increase the efficiency and safety of treatment regimen. For instance, Institut fuer Frauengesundheit and Samsung Bioepis initiated a clinical investigation in which a combination of Pertuzumab with Herceptin bio similar medication, Ontruzant that is lately in the phase IV clinical studies for the treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer. Furthermore, due to the presence of the key players along with rising clinical trials will help to launch novel antibody combinations in the commercial market. Giant pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca, Daiichi Sankyo, Taizhou EOC Pharma, Agenus, Novartis, Celldex Therapeutics and Merck are currently shepherding the clinical trials and studies in order to launch an innovative antibody combination for breast cancer. It is expected that the sphere of antibody combinations will expand in the forthcoming years on account of aspects like agreement, rise in clinical research along with collaborations. For instance, in March 2023, acquisition agreement was settled amongst Pfizer and Seagen with the purpose of combining Seagen’s antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidates with Pfizer's antibody candidates to develop a novel antibody combination treatment for breast cancer. This will further provide thrust to the market growth of combination antibodies. As breast cancer incidences, advancement in technology along with research and development expands; the market of antibody combination for the treatment of breast cancer will multiply further in the imminent years.
