Market Insights

New Product Launches and FDA Approvals along with Technological Advancement Drive Market Growth

Market players are manufacturing a wide range of cancer biomarkers that offer maximum advantages and early diagnosis. In April 2021, Amgen launched the Biomarker Assist, a program to help more patients with metastatic (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) gain access to biomarker testing. Biomarker testing at the time of diagnosis is a critical first step in getting patients on the right treatment. Through Biomarker Assist, eligible patients may save on biomarker testing.

Moreover, in March 2022, Vela Diagnostics has launched new focused (60 genes) and comprehensive (525 genes) next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based panels to detect RNA and DNA cancer biomarkers from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens. The new pan-cancer gene panels include the focused OncoKey SL 60 Plus Panel and comprehensive OncoKey SL 525 Plus Panel.

Furthermore, in December 2019, BioGenex launched three new primary immunohistochemistry (IHC) antibodies including CD8A, CD163, and CD56 for cancer diagnosis.

Additionally, recent advances in cancer immunotherapies have emerged in long-lasting clinical responses in patients. Cancer immunotherapies are rapidly replacing traditional treatment standards and expanding the therapeutic landscape for cancer patients. Researchers are focused on finding molecules in the blood that can signal the appearance of cancers. For the diagnosis of ovarian and prostate cancers, the cancer antigen (CA)125 and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are used alongside other tests.

Additionally, advancements in high-throughput omics technologies, including genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, accelerated the pace of biomarker discovery. Recently, the concept of identifying circulating tumor DNA through a liquid biopsy has moved to clinical reality. The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) reconvened biomarker for an Immune Task Force to review the state-of-the-art technologies, identify current hurdlers, and make recommendations for the field. Therefore, recent technological advancement has enabled many potential biomarkers and renewed in developing new biomarkers and drive the growth of cancer biomarkers market.
