Top 10 Cell and Gene Therapy Companies in APAC – 2024
The life sciences field is experiencing a wave of innovations driven by powerful new tools. Key among these include CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and personalized cell therapy, which are revamping the treatment of diseases. These advancements bring hope to patients with conditions such as sickle cell disease and advanced melanoma.
Casgevy marks a milestone in medicine by using CRISPR/Cas9, a breakthrough gene-editing tool, to treat sickle cell disease in patients 12 and older prone to vaso-occlusive crises. The therapy modifies a patient’s blood stem cells to produce more fetal hemoglobin, preventing sickling of red blood cells and improving oxygen transport.
Another achievement comes with FDA approval of Amtagvi cell therapy, a pivotal advance in cancer care, targeting advanced melanoma with personalized immunotherapy. The treatment extracts and amplifies tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from a patient’s tumor, enhancing their ability to combat cancer cells when reintroduced into the body, representing a significant leap in cancer treatment.
Driven by these innovative therapies, the cell and gene therapy manufacturing market is set to soar to $106.03 billion by 2033, driven by a 26.7 percent CAGR. This growth underscores the rising demand and transformative impact of these therapies.
This edition of the Life Sciences Review APAC offers insights into the latest trends in cell and gene therapy and how companies are aligning with these trends.
