Key Market Trends

Immunotherapy to Register Highest CAGR Over the Forecast Period

Immunotherapy is a type of treatment, in which drugs help an individual’s immune system to recognize the cancer cells and kill them. Immunotherapy is done for treating certain forms of endometrial cancer that has spread or recurred. Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) by Merck and Co. is a drug that is used for the immunotherapy. This drug had got the FDA approval in June 2018, and it is currently available in the market. This drug is given as an intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks. Currently, there are several ongoing clinical trials meant for examining different drugs and their combinations in uterine cancer, including a combination of two immunotherapies, such as lenvatinib (Lenvima) and pembrolizumab.

Some types of immunotherapy include monoclonal antibodies and tumor-agnostic therapies, non-specific immunotherapies, oncolytic virus therapy, T-cell therapy, and cancer vaccines. However, among these types, only tumor-agnostic therapy is used. As the number of uterine cancer cases is increasing, companies are focusing more on producing novel drugs for immunotherapy. Therefore, it is expected that the use of immunotherapy may grow in the coming future. Thus, this may positively affect the overall market for uterine cancer treatment.
