CDK4/6 Inhibitor Drugs Market - Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Driver

  • Increasing Advancement in Drug Development - Drug treatment with CDK-4/6 inhibitors has proven to be the most promising advance in breast cancer treatment. Advances in pharmaceutical research and development highlight the exciting potential of CDK-4/6 inhibitors for the future of breast cancer treatment. Drug treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors has been accepted in many countries due to its therapeutic efficacy compared to conventional breast cancer treatment. Increased number of drug treatments using CDK4/6 inhibitors in various stages of clinical trials and increased approval of inhibitory drug therapies by the FDA, leading to acceptance of new and advanced technologies in the field of breast cancer treatment. Now it looks like this. For example, on April 15, 2021, G1 Therapeutics began clinical trials for its CDK-4/6 inhibitor, trilaciclib. This drug is typically used in patients receiving gemcitabine and carboplatin for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
  • Introduction of Targeted Therapies for the Treatment of Breast Cancer - In some targeted treatments, antibodies are administered that imitate the antibody resulting from natural human immune systems. Another name for these types of targeted therapy is immune targeting therapies. Breast cancer cells may overexpress specific receptors that, when activated, may cause downstream signaling to occur, leading to the activation of genes involved in cancer cell proliferation, growth, survival, migration, angiogenesis, and other critical cell cycle pathways.

Challenges

  • Side Effects of CDK4/6 Inhibitor Drug - The market for CDK4/6 inhibitor drugs is being held back by side effects associated with the treatment of CDK4/6 inhibitors. Abemaciclib: It causes various side effects such as diarrhea, low white blood cell counts, low red blood cell counts, blood clots, nausea: abdominal pain, fatigue, and vomiting. It can cause liver problems in a few cases. Before and during treatment, liver function checks are performed. In severe cases, it can cause lung inflammation, which can be fatal. Therefore, the side effects are expected to hinder market growth in the forthcoming period.
  • Limited Access to Advanced Healthcare is Predicted to Hamper the Market in the Forecast Period
  • Safety Concerns and Adverse Effects are Expected to Pose Limitations on the Market Expansion in the Upcoming Future.
