Engineered Antibody Therapeutics for Cancer

Engineered Antibody Therapeutics for Cancer


Technology advances and increasing interest from Tier I pharmaceuticals are driving the growth of engineered antibodies

This study analyzes the emergence of engineered antibody therapeutics for cancer, examining the factors driving their adoption. The limitations of monoclonal antibodies have led to an increasing demand for novel formats. Companies are developing multispecific antibodies, such as bispecifics and trispecifics, and antibody fragments, such as Fab and VHH. These engineered antibodies are created to have heightened efficacy and overcome tumor resistance by binding to multiple targets simultaneously. Innovative engineering technologies are helping researchers achieve better PK/PD with an enhanced half-life and less immunogenicity. The demand for engineered antibodies is also driving Tier I pharmaceuticals to collaborate with key developers to expand their therapeutic expertise by adding multispecific antibodies to their portfolios. Developers, on their part, are partnering with AI/ML-based technology providers to enhance their antibody offerings.

The study identifies the different antibody formats and examines their applicability across disease areas. It looks at the key players developing innovative antibody discovery, engineering, and development services to facilitate the creation of engineered antibody formats. The study examines the factors driving and restraining the growth of engineered antibody therapeutics for cancer and identifies the growth opportunities emerging from the changes in this space for market players and stakeholders to leverage.
