With the incidence of breast cancer expected to increase
worldwide, the therapeutic market for this particular ailment is also set to
grow at a CAGR of eight percent through 2023, according to industry
reports (http://ibn.fm/HVYSA).
Companies such as BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT) will
be leading the way, as the development of new treatment solutions is expected
to be a primary factor contributing to the market’s growth.
According to the ‘Global Breast Cancer Therapeutics Market
2019-2023’ report, various innovative therapies are emerging to offer breast
cancer patients more advanced solutions than the ones currently available.
Therapies having the potential to address advanced breast cancer cases will
also dominate the market in the years to come, the report concludes.
BriaCell Therapeutics Corp., an immuno-oncology focused
biotechnology company, is currently testing such specialized therapies for
advanced breast cancer patients. The company is developing immunotherapy
solutions that have so far proven to be both highly effective and
well-tolerated by patients.
Bria-IMT, the lead BriaCell cancer drug candidate, has
delivered promising results in three clinical studies to date. In tests with
advanced breast cancer patients, Bria-IMT contributed to tumor shrinkage.
Currently, Bria-IMT’s effectiveness is being assessed in combination with
KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) by Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE: MRK).
Bria-IMT works by providing breast cancer antigens and
stimulation of the T-cells – an important part of the immune system responsible
for fighting cancer. Proof of concept for this therapy has already been
achieved in clinical trials. Its safety has been established as excellent, even
in the case of heavily-pretreated advanced breast cancer patients.
The combination study has treated six patients to date with
Bria-IMT and KEYTRUDA. All patients tolerated the combination very well, and
additional data about the efficacy of the combination will be released in the
first quarter of 2019.
BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. is also working to develop
Bria-OTS – a personalized, off-the-shelf immunotherapy solution for advanced
breast cancer patients. Bria-OTS is expected to provide a tailor-made breast
cancer solution that is much more cost-efficient and easier to manufacture than
alternative treatments.
According to the company, the very same technology could be
applicable to the treatment of other types of cancer.
Several studies indicate that the incidence of breast cancer
is expected to increase in the next decade (http://ibn.fm/XR9CX). U.S. breast cancer diagnoses are
anticipated to grow from 283,000 in 2011 to 441,000 in 2030, an increase of
over 50 percent. The proportion of cases diagnosed among women in the 50-to-69
age group is expected to decrease from 55 percent to 44 percent in 2030.
Diagnoses among those aged 70 to 84, however, will increase from 24 percent to 35
percent.
Immunotherapy could provide a viable solution to the
problem. The cancer immunotherapy market is anticipated to grow to $145 billion
by 2022, at a CAGR of 14 percent (http://ibn.fm/IBQyc). Immunotherapy currently accounts for
50 percent of the oncology medications market, but it is forecast that roughly
60 percent of previously treated cancer patients will adopt immunotherapy by
2026.
With its dedicated immunotherapies, BriaCell Therapeutics
Corp. is on the front line of the battle, exploring new ways to address the
unmet medical needs of advanced cancer patients. The potential market is
estimated to be between $1 billion and $5 billion, depending on the stage of
treatment.
