Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitor Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2024
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF, cachexin or cachectin formerly known as tumor necrosis factor alpha or TNF-α) is an adipokine and a cytokine. TNF is a member of the TNF superfamily, which consists of various transmembrane proteins with a homologous TNF domain. As an adipokine, TNF promotes insulin resistance and is associated with obesity-induced type 2 diabetes. As a cytokine, TNF is used by the immune system for cell signaling. If macrophages (certain white blood cells) detect an infection, they release TNF to alert other immune system cells as part of an inflammatory response. There are two receptors for TNF, namely TNF receptor 1 (TNFR-1, p55 receptor) and TNFR-2 (p75 receptor). TNFR-1 is ubiquitously expressed while TNFR-2 is mainly expressed in immune cells. The mechanism of action (MOA) of the TNF inhibitors is binding to soluble TNF or inhibiting the interaction between TNF and its receptors. This binding prevents TNF from exerting its pro-inflammatory effects and reduces the inflammatory response in the body.
TNF inhibitors are used in the treatment of digestive system diseases, autoimmune diseases, intestinal diseases, connective tissue diseases, skin diseases, bone diseases, spondylitis, psoriasis, urologic diseases, kidney diseases, metabolic diseases, neoplasms, etc. Increased prevalence of inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and the rise in the aging population, etc. are the key drivers for the TNF inhibitor market. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 1.3% of US adults (3 million) reported being diagnosed with IBD, either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. The introduction of newer products by market players may look for opportunities that have a big impact on comprehensive research and development in TNF inhibitors. For instance, Janssen Biotech’s Tecvayli (Teclistamab) was launched for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Moreover, to address the difficulties in therapy, numerous market participants are developing innovative compounds. For instance, Pfizer’s Elranatamab (PF-06863135) for the indication of multiple myeloma is under the various stages of clinical studies.
