In May 2024, Glenmark Specialty SA, a subsidiary of Glenmark Pharma, revealed a contract for exclusive marketing and distribution with BeiGene, a worldwide oncology firm. According to a statement from the business, Glenmark will be responsible for the registration and commercialization of BeiGene's oncology drugs, Tislelizumab and Zanubrutinib, in India. Tislelizumab is a newly developed monoclonal antibody that targets the PD-1 protein. It has been approved by the NMPA, EMA, and FDA for treating advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Additionally, it is being extensively studied for its potential in treating different types of cancers.
In March 2024, the FDA granted approval for tislelizumab-jsgr (Tevimbra) as a standalone treatment for patients with unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who have previously had systemic chemotherapy, excluding the use of a PD-L1 inhibitor. This information was provided in a press statement by BeiGene, the company responsible for developing the drug. Tislelizumab is expected to be commercially accessible in the United States during the latter part of 2024, as stated by the developers. The approval was granted after evaluating the outcomes of the phase 3 RATIONALE 302 study (NCT03430843), which compared the effectiveness of tislelizumab as a standalone treatment versus chemotherapy in the second-line treatment for this group of patients.
Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Market Trends
The increasing prevalence of achalasia aid market growth because achalasia patients have a higher risk of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma than the general population. The journal Annals of Oesophagus reports that 9 to 10 people per 100,000 people experience achalasia each year.
Furthermore, achalasia can cause food retention, which can lead to bacterial overgrowth, irritation, and chronic inflammation, a pathophysiological process that has been proposed to lead to squamous cell carcinoma. Moreover, two recent meta-analyses found that the incidence rate of squamous cell carcinoma in patients with achalasia ranges from 1.36/1,000 patients-years to 3.12/1,000 patients-years, with risks of 1.5% and 2.8%, respectively.
Moreover, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, these rates are 15 and 34 times higher, respectively, than the risk of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the general population. Therefore, increasing prevalence of achalasia will directly affect the market growth of global Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma positively.
The Market segments of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, based on diagnosis and treatment, whereas, diagnosis is further segmented into Endoscopy, CT scan, Esophagram, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and others. Likewise, treatment is further segregated into Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy, Immunotherapy, And Others.
Treatment Segment dominated the market in 2022, while the diagnosis segment is projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period, 2023–2030 in the Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Market revenue. This is due to the increasing prevalence of cancer, introduction of new highly effective medications with lower secondary effects and rising demand for chemotherapy for the market's expansion.
June 2022: Eli Lilly and Company and Innovent Biologics, Inc. (China), a biopharmaceutical company, announced approval for TYVYT (sintilimab injection) for first line treatment for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).
The Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Market segmentation is based on end user which includes hospitals, specialty centers and others.
The hospital segment dominated the market in 2022. This is attributed to the rising prevalence of cancer further require drug discovery and development which fuels the market growth. While the specialty centers segment is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period, 2022–2032.
Increased research & development also fuels the market growth of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. For instance, according to the research done by Western Reserve University, U.S. in February 2019 found that the most prevalent esophageal cancer in the US, esophageal adenocarcinoma, could be reduced by blocking two molecular pathways that send signals inside cancer cells (EAC). This demonstrated the effectiveness of a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of esophageal cancer known as JNK/TGF-beta-targeted therapy.
