Cell and Gene Therapy CROs Market, 2018-2030

NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- INTRODUCTION
In the recent past, cell and gene therapies have emerged as promising treatment options for a myriad of complex clinical conditions, including cancers and inherited disorders. Currently, more than 25 such advanced therapy medicinal products are available in the market; examples of recently approved therapies include Alofisel® (2018), LUXTURNA™ (2017), YESCARTA™ (2017), Kymriah™ (2017) and INVOSSA™ (2017). In addition, over 500 cell and gene therapy candidates are being investigated in different stages of clinical development, across various geographies. In fact, in the past five years alone, more than 1,000 clinical trials that are currently active were initiated to evaluate the potential of these therapies across multiple therapeutic indications. Due to several development challenges, such as fragile nature of cells being used, safety and efficacy issues, laborious procedures for conducting clinical studies, complex regulatory framework and exorbitant costs, it is difficult for the companies with limited expertise and finances to successfully develop these therapies in-house. The aforementioned challenges have led several players to outsource a significant part of their clinical stage research to capable contract research organizations (CROs), which claim to offer cost-efficient solutions as well as intellectual and operational expertise.

In fact, various therapy developers have partnered with CROs to seek their support in advancing product candidates towards approval. Moreover, contract service providers have formed alliances to enhance their capabilities and provide an integrated suite of services. It is also worth highlighting that the industry has witnessed some consolidation in the last five years as smaller players have been acquired in an effort to widen the parent company's geographical reach. Furthermore, service providers have invested in developing / adopting advanced tools, technologies and platforms in order to provide robust and evidence based clinical data for approval. Given these technological advancements, the cost and time-related advantages of outsourcing research and the expanding pipeline of cell and gene therapy candidates, the demand for CROs is projected to grow in the foreseen future.

Examples of companies offering clinical services include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) BioniX, CTI Clinical Trial & Consulting, FGK Clinical Research, JSB Solutions, Linical Accelovance, PRC Clinical and Symbion Research International. Around one-third of the total number of CROs provide both clinical and preclinical stage services; examples of such companies include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) Boston Biomedical Associates, Creative BioLabs, FARMACORE BIOTECHNOLOGY, GenoSafe®, IQVIA and Quality Assistance.
3. Popular clinical development services offered by contract service providers include clinical trial management (46%), safety and quality studies (36%), clinical trial monitoring (24%) and clinical project management (20%). In terms of preclinical stage services, 51% currently provide safety and quality studies, 41% presently offer ADME studies and in vivo studies, respectively and 30% currently provide toxicology studies.
4. More than 1,000 ongoing clinical studies of cell therapies (including stem cell therapies, T-cell therapies, dendritic cell therapies, NK cell therapies and tumor cell therapies) were registered across different geographies in the last five years. Amongst many others, oncological disorders (57%) emerged as the most researched therapeutic area by therapy developers in this domain.
5. Several collaborations have been inked amongst various stakeholders in this domain during the period 2013-2018. Most of these partnerships were outsourcing agreements (41%), signed between CROs and sponsor companies to advance the development of various therapies. Service alliances (8%) were another important type of partnerships, representing deals signed between different CROs to expand their service portfolio.
