Impact of COVID-19
In December 2019, Wuhan, a city in the Hubei region of China, was the site of the first detection of the COVID-19 outbreak. Following the classification of COVID-19 as novel pneumonia due to a cluster of unexplained pneumonia cases, efforts to pinpoint the culprit causing the outbreak and outline its genomic sequence got underway right once. The virus has already spread to every country on the globe, and researchers, governments, and business leaders are working to find answers to the crisis at a scale and speed that has never been seen. Testing for SARS-CoV-2 in the populace is one of the main steps that has been put into place globally, among many other measures used to stop the spread of the disease.
The global constrained peptide drugs market is a research-oriented market, having a majority of products in clinical trial stages. It primarily consists of clinical-stage biopharmaceutical companies and global biopharmaceutical companies such as Bicycle Therapeutics PLC, Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc., Aileron Therapeutics, Inc., Polyphor, and Santhera Pharmaceuticals Holding. Since most of the products are in the clinical phase of drug development, constrained peptide drug companies had a low impact on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although clinical trials were brought to pause because of the lockdowns imposed by governments across the world, causing a delay in the clinical trial timeline, and volunteers and patients were also not able to participate in the clinical trials due to the lockdown; however, few companies took the opportunity of the pandemic and initiated the development of potential drugs against COVID-19. For instance, UCB Pharma participated in the COVID-19 Moonshot, an initiative to expedite the development of an anti-viral for COVID-19. The company's Phase III investigational molecule Zilucoplan is being studied for acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with COVID-19. Another company, Polyphor Limited, is evaluating Balixafortide, a constrained peptide drug, against COVID-19 as it demonstrated strong efficacy in in-vitro models.
During the pre-COVID-19 period, the global constrained peptide drugs market observed 38 significant key developments. Out of the 38 key developments, the majority were funding activities, primarily focused on the development of novel antibiotics and support clinical trials of certain drugs in clinical phases. For example, in May 2019, Innosuisse awarded Polyphor Ltd. and the University of Zurich to escalate the development of novel antibiotics for treating infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, seven synergistic activities were undertaken in the global constrained peptide drugs market before COVID-19.
Market Segmentation:
Segmentation 1: by Peptide Type
- Disulfide-Rich Peptides (DRPs)
- Cyclic Peptides
Based on peptide type, the disulfide-rich peptides (DRPs) segment is anticipated to dominate the global constrained peptide drugs market in 2040 as the segment includes the pipeline-constrained peptide with either limited existing treatment options or no approved drugs for the disease.
Segmentation 2: by Region
- North America
- Europe
- Asia-Pacific
The North America region is anticipated to dominate the global constrained peptide drugs market (by region) during the forecast period 2025-2040. The reasons contributing to the high demand for constrained peptide drugs in North America are the increasing prevalence of target indications and the early launch of pipeline products in the U.S. and Canada.
