Antibody therapy is a targeted therapeutic intervention comprising concentrated or monoclonal antibody used to manage diseases such as cancer/oncology, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases among other diseases. These therapeutic antibodies bind to specific molecules on the surface of cells, triggering immune responses that help eliminate or inhibit the growth of abnormal cells. This precise targeting makes antibody therapy a promising approach for treating various diseases, offering a tailored and effective strategy in the field of medical intervention and personalized medicine.

COVID-19 Impact

While the influence of COVID-19 had been mostly negative in several areas, the antibody therapy industry gained considerable momentum due to a spike in demand for the treatment development of COVID-19. Several companies commenced their R&D at a faster pace for the development of diagnostic and treatment related to COVID. The FDA and other organizations of various countries gave emergency use authorizations (EUAs) for the use of anti-SARS-CoV-2 mAb and other antibody therapy for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 infection. Hence, COVID-19 showed a positive effect on the market of antibody therapy in 2020.
