Also known as: bispecifics
The Gyrolab automated immunoassay platform from Gyros Protein Technologies addresses reproducibility and throughput challenges in biotherapeutic development for ADCs and bispecifics. Case studies show measurable improvements in assay consistency and efficiency for titer and impurity testing workflows.
The global oncology drugs market is projected to grow at an 8-10% CAGR through 2035 as targeted therapies and immunotherapies gain share over chemotherapy. The radiopharmaceuticals market is expected to reach $21.8 billion by 2033, fueled by rising cancer incidence and expanding diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Innovations in drug delivery, including intranasal platforms for glioblastoma, are advancing neuro-oncology treatment options.
A Cleveland Clinic study found no racial survival disparities in multiple myeloma when patients have equal access to modern therapies. Clinical cases demonstrate long-term remission with second stem cell transplants and targeted agents like daratumumab.
Global oncology drug spending is projected to reach $467 billion by 2030, driven by novel modalities like ADCs and bispecifics, but growth will slow due to patent expirations for key drugs like Keytruda and Lynparza. R&D is shifting, with novel modalities accounting for 33% of clinical trials in 2025. The industry is also seeing broader innovation and investment, with new blockbuster contenders emerging across multiple therapeutic areas.
The treatment landscape for multiple myeloma is evolving rapidly with T-cell engaging therapies like bispecific antibodies and CAR T-cell treatments shifting care toward a chronic condition with potential treatment breaks. This evolution is creating new side effect management challenges and complicating clinical trial design as sponsors grapple with selecting comparator arms and adapting to a rapidly shifting standard of care.
New therapies including CAR-T, bispecific antibodies and dual-antibody immunotherapy are reshaping multiple myeloma care. Advances in genomic testing may also improve risk assessment and treatment decisions.
European biotechs are exploring new immunotherapy targets beyond PD-1/PD-L1, including BTLA, TIGIT, and SLAMF6. Lund University researchers discovered a SLAMF6-mediated immune evasion mechanism. BioNTech and GenMab are advancing next-generation ICIs and bispecific antibodies through strategic partnerships.
Immunome submitted an NDA to the FDA for varegacestat in desmoid tumors after the Phase 3 RINGSIDE trial showed an 84% reduction in progression risk (HR=0.16) and a 56% objective response rate. The company plans to file in Q2 2026.
The global cancer monoclonal antibodies market was valued at USD 66.7 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 135.2 billion by 2033. Growth is being driven by targeted therapies, bispecific antibodies, ADCs and checkpoint inhibitors.
Bristol Myers Squibb said 2025 revenue was flat as a 17% increase in growth-portfolio sales offset a 15% decline in legacy drugs. The company expects legacy sales to fall another 12-16% in 2026, with newer products such as Opdivo, Reblozyl and Breyanzi supporting results.
