DUBLIN--( BUSINESS WIRE )--The "Global CD47 Inhibitor Drug Clinical Trials Insight & Market Opportunity Outlook 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Inhibition of the cell surface protein CD47 has emerged as a novel cancer immunotherapy approach that has piqued the interest of both academia and industry in the recent years. Cancer cells often overexpress CD47, which triggers the "don't eat me" signal pathway, thereby helping malignant cells to escape immune surveillance. CD47 inhibitors seek to uncover cancer cells by inhibiting this protein, leaving them open to immune system attack, specifically through increased macrophage phagocytosis. Although no CD47 inhibitor is currently approved for therapeutic usage, the availability of candidates in phase 3 trials suggests that one may be approved in the coming years. With multiple candidates at varying stages of development, the field of CD47 inhibitor research and development is rapidly evolving. Developed by Forty Seven, which is now a part of Gilead, magrolimab is among the most advanced CD47 inhibitors. In early stage clinical trials for hematological tumors, it has demonstrated encouraging outcomes, especially when combined with other cancer treatments. Furthermore, late stage clinical trials evaluating Magrolimab in solid cancer alongside conventional cancer treatments such as docetaxel, Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab, Azacitidine, and Venetoclax are now under progress. Another significant candidate is Evorpacept (ALX148) from ALX Oncology, a high affinity SIRP? fusion protein that inhibits CD47. Currently, evorpacept is being assessed as a monotherapy and in combination with widely used anticancer drugs in a number of early phase clinical trials for a variety of solid and hematological tumors. Furthermore, a late-phase trial evaluating Evorpacept in combination with Trastuzumab, Ramucirumab, and Paclitaxel for the treatment of HER2+ gastric cancer is also under progress. A number of other CD47 inhibitors, including as TQB 2928 (Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical), MP 0621 (Molecular Partners), IMC-002 (ImmuneOncia Therapeutics), and CC 90002 (Celgene), are in the early phases of clinical research. The emphasis on combination therapies is undoubtedly one of the key trends in clinical development. Combining CD47 inhibitors with other immunotherapies, targeted treatments, and chemotherapy is being studied in an effort to overcome resistance mechanisms and provide synergistic benefits. Anticipated growth in the global market for CD47 inhibitors is attributed to the rising cancer incidence and increased use of immunotherapies in the upcoming years. The potential of CD47 inhibitors has been acknowledged by a number of prominent pharmaceutical companies, which has resulted in notable partnerships and acquisitions. The commercial interest in this field is demonstrated by Gilead Science's US$ 4.9 billion acquisition of Forty Seven in 2020 and Pfizer's US$ 2.26 billion acquisition of Trillium Therapeutics in 2021. Although Chinese and American companies presently dominate the market, there is increasing participation from South Korea, Australia, Canada, and Japan. Through clinical research, companies such as Shaperon, InnobationBio, Bitterroot Bio, and ImmuneOncia Therapeutics are making strides with their CD47 inhibitors. The market is becoming increasingly competitive, with several firms striving for market share. Therefore, for commercial success, differentiation based on safety profile, efficacy, and possible combination strategies will be essential. The market for CD47 inhibitors has both opportunities and challenges. Strong commercial interest and encouraging clinical evidence point to substantial development potential. However, there are challenges to address, such managing toxicity profiles, coming up with the best combination plans, and demonstrating distinct therapeutic advantages over current treatments. As the field develops, biomarker development for response prediction and patient selection will probably become more crucial for clinical development as well as marketing tactics. In conclusion, the market for CD47 inhibitors globally is an active rapidly expanding area of cancer immunotherapy. In the years to come, CD47 inhibitors could have a big impact on cancer therapy paradigms because there are several candidates in clinical development and a lot of commercial interest.

AbbVie's rapidly expanding Humira successor, SKYRIZI, is already achieving impressive sales growth. This IL-23 inhibitor is set to capture an even greater portion of Humira's diminishing market share with its crucial expansion into treating ulcerative colitis. LAS VEGAS, July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ulcerative colitis is an idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease affecting ~1.5 million patients in the US and with an unknown exact cause. It affects the colonic mucosa and is clinically characterized by diarrhea, stomach discomfort, pain, and hematochezia. The disease's extent varies, affecting either the rectum, the splenic flexure of the left side of the colon, or the whole of the rectum and bowel. As per DelveInsight analysis, the total ulcerative colitis diagnosed prevalent cases in the 7MM comprised approximately 3 million cases in 2023 and are projected to increase by 2034. Per analyst estimates, approximately 60% of cases accounted for moderate to severe cases of ulcerative colitis among the 7MM. The current treatments for ulcerative colitis depend on the severity of the disease and are broadly divided into six classes, comprising conventional therapies, Anti-TNFs, Anti-integrin agents, IL-12/IL-23 dual inhibitors, S1P-receptor modulators, and JAK inhibitors. The emergence of several mechanisms of action, like LANCL2 protein stimulators, miR-124 enhancers, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like ligand 1A inhibitors, toll-like receptor 9 agonists, and others will be expanding the treatment landscape of ulcerative colitis. There have been significant advancements in treating ulcerative colitis over the years. However, safety remains a major challenge. The lack of a safer and curative treatment option severely impacts patients' quality of life and daily activities. While current treatments are effective for some patients with ulcerative colitis, others need multiple lines of therapy, indicating a need for alternative treatments to achieve disease control. Several major pharmaceutical companies are collaborating to develop new solutions to address these issues. Learn more about the FDA-approved ulcerative colitis drugs @ Drugs for Ulcerative Colitis Treatment A few FDA-approved drugs for ulcerative colitis treatment include SIMPONI (Janssen Pharmaceuticals), ENTYVIO (Takeda Pharmaceuticals), OMVOH (Eli Lilly) VELSIPITY (Arena Pharmaceuticals/Pfizer), and SKYRIZI (AbbVie). SIMPONI is a human monoclonal antibody that targets and neutralizes excess tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, a protein associated with inflammation and tissue damage in chronic inflammatory diseases. It is the first subcutaneous anti-TNF-alpha treatment administered every four weeks as maintenance therapy for ulcerative colitis. Approved for treating moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adults, SIMPONI is also being evaluated in ongoing trials for pediatric patients with the same condition. Vedolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets and inhibits the alpha 4 beta 7 integrin, preventing it from binding to the intestinal mucosal addressing cell adhesion molecule 1 (MAdCAM-1). This integrin is found in a subset of circulating white blood cells that play a role in the inflammatory processes of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. By blocking the alpha 4 beta 7 integrin, vedolizumab may reduce the infiltration of these white blood cells into gut tissues. It is currently approved as an IV and SC formulation for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adults who have not responded to, lost response to, or were intolerant to conventional therapy or a tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) antagonist. VELSIPITY (Etrasimod) is an innovative, once-daily oral medication that acts as a highly selective modulator of the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor. Discovered by Arena, it is designed for optimized interaction with S1P receptors 1, 4, and 5, potentially offering better efficacy and safety. Etrasimod targets specific immune cells both systemically and locally and has the potential to treat various immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. It is currently approved by the FDA and EMA for adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have not responded adequately, lost response, or were intolerant to conventional or advanced therapies. Recently, on 18 June 2024, the FDA approved SKYRIZI for treating adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. This approval extends the drug's reach to approximately 1 million US patients and makes SKYRIZI the first IL-23 inhibitor approved for both UC and Crohn's disease, the two types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). After a 12-week induction period, patients can self-administer the medication at home using an on-body injector device, which AbbVie's press release describes as "designed with patients in mind." The device attaches to the body and delivers the medication in about five minutes. Since its approval for Crohn's in 2022, Skyrizi has emerged as a strong competitor to Johnson & Johnson's blockbuster drug STELARA in the IBD market. The AbbVie medication has captured a "significant share" of STELARA's sales.

Discover which therapies are expected to grab major ulcerative colitis market share @ Ulcerative Colitis Market Report TREMFYA (guselkumab) is a human monoclonal antibody targeting the p19 subunit of interleukin (IL)-23, created by Janssen. IL-23 plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. TREMFYA, an IL-23 inhibitor, is a human immunoglobulin G1 lambda (IgG1λ) monoclonal antibody, produced in a mammalian cell line using recombinant DNA technology. It specifically binds to the p19 subunit of IL-23 and blocks its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. In May 2024, Johnson & Johnson released the initial data from the Phase III QUASAR maintenance study in ulcerative colitis, which achieved its primary endpoint and all major secondary endpoints, including highly statistically significant rates of endoscopic remission. Based on these findings, the company has submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) to the FDA. SHR0302, developed by Reistone Biopharma, is an innovative and potent oral JAK1 inhibitor aimed at treating inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Due to its selectivity for JAK1, it may offer a safer and more effective alternative to pan-JAK inhibitors. Ongoing long-term clinical studies are investigating whether JAK1 selectivity can minimize hematological side effects associated with JAK2 inhibition, aiming to confirm a favorable risk-benefit profile (Reistone Biopharma, 2021a). SHR0302 is currently being tested in a Phase III clinical trial (NCT05181137) for the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in adults.
