Gene Switch Global Market Report 2023: Close to 50 Industry and Non-Industry Players Currently Focused on Bringing Therapies to Market

DUBLIN, April 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Gene Switch Market - Distribution by Application Area, Type of Target Therapy, Type of Payment Model Employed and Key Geographical Regions: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2023-2035" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report features an extensive study of the current market landscape and future opportunity for the players involved in the development of gene switch. The report answers many key questions related to this domain.

Driven by numerous developmental breakthroughs and encouraging clinical trial results demonstrating the vast potential of adoptive cell therapies (ACT), including CAR-T cell therapies, TCR therapies, TILs and natural killer cell therapies, this therapeutic modality has garnered considerable attention from the players engaged in the pharmaceutical industry.

In fact, in the past few years, close to 30 cell and gene therapies have been approved by the US FDA. In addition, over 1,200 cell therapies are currently being evaluated across various clinical stages of development. The recent approval of more than five CAR-T cell therapies have further fueled the interest in development of such cellular therapies.

However, despite various advantages, adverse events associated with genetically modified gene and cell therapies, including neurotoxicity, cytokine release syndrome (CRS), on-target / off-tumor toxicity and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), are some of the known limitations of such therapeutic modalities. As a result, the industry is actively seeking various tools / methods to mitigate this challenge.

Among the various approaches to enhance the safety profiles of ACTs, safety switch / gene switch / kill switch systems (which are the regulatory sites on genes capable of switching on / off transcription and translation processes) have gained sufficient attention from drug developers owing to their ability to control the activity of genetically modified cell products in vivo while sparing host immune activity.
