NEW YORK, April 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- INTRODUCTION
The human immune system is comprised of a number of different types of specialized molecules and cells that are involved in complex interactions and activities to facilitate an immune response. Immunotherapies exploit the body's innate potential to specifically target a particular molecular antigen and mount an efficient immune response against the cells bearing the diseased signature. Currently, four major types of immunotherapies (classified by product class) targeting the CD19 antigen are under development, namely engineered antibodies, bispecific antibodies (bsAbs), antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) and CAR-T cell therapies. CD19 antigen, an important biomarker has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for a number of disease indications, specifically hematological malignancies (leukemias and lymphomas). The antigen is expressed both on normal cells and malignant B cells as well as follicular dendritic cells. Upon initial discovery, the CD19 antigen was dubbed as the B4 antigen on human B cells.

The pioneer CD19 targeted drug to hit the US and the EU markets was BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab), a bsAb. Different technologies have catered to the development of CD19 targeted therapies. Several researchers and therapy developers are actively involved in developing therapeutics targeting the CD19 antigen for the treatment of B cell malignancies and various autoimmune disorders. With several advantages such as high therapeutic performance and favorable clinical outcomes, the promising pipeline of anti-CD19 drugs is expected to result in a multi-billion dollar market by 2030.

SCOPE OF THE REPORT
The 'CD19 Therapeutics Market, 2016-2030' report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current market landscape and the future outlook of the growing pipeline of anti-CD19 therapeutics. The recent approval of BLINCYTO®, a CD19 targeting bsAb, and emergence of CAR-T therapies has provided a significant boost to this market that has actively evolved in the past few years.

The pipeline comprises of products across four major classes of drugs, namely, engineered antibodies, bsAbs, ADCs and CAR-T therapies. The major focus of these novel molecules is hematological cancers, specifically B cell malignancies, with CAR-T therapies leading the table. Post initial research in CAR-T therapies, many non-industry players have entered into collaborations with industry stakeholders to fund the clinical and commercial development of these products. Some late stage products that have emerged out of such collaborations include KTE-C19, CTL019, JCAR015 and JCAR017.

One of the key objectives of the study is to review and quantify the opportunities laid by the innovative CD19 targeted programs of both small and big pharma firms. Amongst other elements, the report elaborates upon the following key areas:
- The current state of the market with respect to key players, developmental stages of pipeline products (both clinical/preclinical) and target indications
- Partnerships that have taken place in the recent past covering research and development collaborations, manufacturing agreements and license agreements specific to technology platforms, product co-development and co-commercialization
- Competitive landscape and inherent threats to growth in the short and long term
- Development and sales potential based on target consumer segments, likely adoption rate and expected pricing

The study provides an estimate of the short-mid term and long term market forecast for the period 2015 - 2030. The research, analysis and insights presented in this report include potential sales of various marketed and late stage (phase II and phase II/III) anti-CD19 products based on our understanding of the likely future development of individual therapeutics. The opinions and insights, presented in this study, were influenced by discussions that we conducted with experts in this area.
