Innovations and Opportunities in Therapeutic Vaccines

June 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Bharatbook.com has added this latest report "Innovations and Opportunities in Therapeutic Vaccines: Technology platforms, key players, and early pipeline candidates" to their extensive collection of market research reports.Therapeutic vaccines promise a new wave of highly potent and highly specific therapeutic agents designed to work in harmony with patients’ own immune systems.

Recent advances in the understanding of the human immune system and in technical capabilities have allowed vaccines to move beyond pre-emptive (prophylactic) immunization and into treatment of established diseases. In April 2010, Dendreon’s Provenge became the first ever cancer vaccine to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), overcoming skepticism in the investment community and paving the way for a new generation of biological therapies.

This report explains what therapeutic vaccines are, how they work, and why drug developers around the world are using this approach to address everything from allergies to literally every kind of cancer. More than 70 new proprietary technologies are named and explained, with details of licensing deals and intellectual property positions.

The newest wave of drug candidates based on these technologies can be seen in more than 130 early pipeline candidates, each based on a commercial company or research institute known to have carried out preclinical and/or Phase I trials of at least one therapeutic vaccine candidate in the past year. By way of background, later stage candidates being developed by the same companies are also discussed. In total, more than 270 therapeutic vaccine candidates are identified in this report. Finally, prospects and challenges for the future of this field are discussed, with opinions from around 20 prominent industry leaders and academic researchers.
