Antisense Oligonucleotides Market To Grow Due To High Prevalence Of Genetic Disorders And Cancer
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are single-stranded DNA
molecules that are changed to restrict the expression of their mRNA targets in
order to regulate inappropriate gene expression in pathological circumstances.
Spinal muscular atrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and other hereditary
illnesses are treated with ASOs.
Market Dynamics
The market for antisense oligonucleotides is predicted to
rise due to the high prevalence of cancer. According to the American Cancer
Society, there will be 1,762,450 new cancer cases diagnosed and 606,880 cancer
deaths in the United States year 2019.
Expanding interest in R&D of cancer
is relied upon to offer worthwhile development openings for major parts in antisense
oligonucleotides market. For example, as indicated by the National Cancer Research
Institute (NCRI), cancer research financing by NCRI accomplices stretched
around US$ 750 million out of 2018/19. In addition, high pervasiveness of
genetic disorders is likewise expected to help in development of the market.
For example, as indicated by the investigation, 'Transporter recurrence of
SMN1-related spinal solid decay in north Indian populace: The requirement for
populace based screening program' distributed in American Journal of Medical
Genetics in October 2020, the transporter recurrence of Spinal Muscular Atrophy
(SMN)1 cancellation was 1 of every 38 (16 out of 606).
The antisense oligonucleotides industry is projected to be
hampered by the lack of major clinical trials verifying the encouraging
outcomes reported with antisense oligonucleotides in preclinical models.
Competitive Analysis
Major players in operating in the antisense oligonucleotides
market include, Ionis Pharmaceuticals Inc., Aligos Therapeutics, Inc., Sarepta
Therapeutics Inc., Biogen Inc., Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc., Antisense
Therapeutics Ltd., Isarna Therapeutics GmbH, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
Atlantic pharmaceuticals Inc., Enzon Pharmaceuticals Inc., Bio-Path Holdings

Inc., miRagen Therapeutics Inc., Synlogic Inc., OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
Pharmaxis Ltd., Rexahn Pharmaceuticals Inc., Regulus Therapeutics Inc., and Rxi
Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Major players in operating in the antisense oligonucleotides
market are focused on adopting partnership strategies to enhance their market
share. For instance, in December 2020, Aligos Therapeutics, Inc. entered into
an Exclusive License and Research Collaboration Agreement with Merck, under
which Merck and Aligos will apply Aligos’ oligonucleotide platform technology
to discover, research, optimize and develop oligonucleotides directed against a
non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) target and up to one additional target of
interest in the cardiometabolic/fibrosis space.
