Recent market demands for bispecific antibodies can largely be attributed to the application of existing commercially available products to other multiple indications. Currently, there are 2 bispecific antibodies commercially available on the market and over 200 in clinical trials. The future for the research and development of bispecific and multi-specific antibodies remains highly progressive and profitable, driven by the fact that an increasing number of big and small pharmaceutical companies are allocating their resources and are collaborating with other stakeholders of the industry. Challenges remain, however, and in our next biologics discussion group we bring together an exclusive panel of key opinion leaders to discuss the key factors behind the market’s growth, priorities, future outlook & challenges.
