The patient-derived xenograft model market size is expected to grow from US$ 378.46 million in 2022 to US$ 975.31 million by 2030; it is projected to register a CAGR of 12.6% during 2022-2030.
The patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model refers to laboratory models that are created by implanting patient tumor tissues directly into immunodeficient mice. These models play a crucial role in tumor biology studies, drug efficacy evaluation studies, and predicting patients' responses to various treatments. These models are created by implanting patient-derived tumor tissues from cancer patients into immunodeficient mice, allowing human tumors to grow and study in a controlled laboratory setting. They are particularly useful in the field of precision oncology, where treatments are tailored to individual patients based on their unique genetic profiles. The patient-derived xenograft model market growth is attributed to growing awareness of the advantages of humanized PDX models and the rising demand for personalized medicine. However, significant operational costs associated with the PDX model hinder the patient-derived xenograft model market growth.
Researchers can construct more accurate and sophisticated models that closely resemble human disease conditions by using the CRISPR technology that enables DNA modification in PDX models in a fast, precise, and exact manner. With the help of CRISPR-mediated modifications, it is possible to replicate patient-specific genetic changes observed in various diseases, including cancer, by adding specific mutations, deletions, or insertions into PDX models. This feature enhances the PDX models authenticity and makes it easier to investigate the genetic causes of disease and its mechanisms. Through the use of CRISPR-edited PDX models, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of the role of specific genes and pathways in tumor growth, progression, and response to treatment, thereby providing insightful discoveries on tailored therapeutic approaches. Thus, the emergence of CRISPR in biomedical research offers a significant opportunity for the expansion of the patient-derived xenograft model market in the coming years.
The expanding partnership in the industry also provides a potential opportunity for the growth of the patient-derived xenograft model market during the forecast period. For instance, in July 2022, GemPharmatech entered into a strategic license agreement with Charles River Laboratories to exclusively distribute its next-generation NOD CRISPR Prkdc Il2r gamma (NCG) mouse lines in North America. The agreement aims to speed up the development of novel therapeutics for a variety of unmet medical needs, particularly in immuno-oncology. Under the terms of the agreement, GemPharmatech gave Charles River access to its exclusive range of NCG derivative products for use in breeding and distribution in specific markets. One of the most complete portfolios of immunodeficient research models is the NCG derivative product line. Preclinical cancer immunotherapy research can benefit from the use of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, human hematopoietic stem cells, PDX, and immune system reconstitution utilizing NCG-based mice. In addition, Charles River is the lone distributor of NCG mice in North America, and the collaboration increases the range of NCG models available to Charles River. Therefore, the patient-derived xenograft model market is expected to rise in the future.
Application-Based Insights
Based on application, the patient-derived xenograft model market is categorized into preclinical drug development, biomarker analysis, translational research, and biobanking. In 2022, the preclinical drug development segment held a significant patient-derived xenograft model market share. The segment is estimated to record the highest CAGR during 2022-2030. The drug development process is usually divided into three main steps: discovery, preclinical development, and clinical trials. Preclinical development involves activities that combine laboratory drug discovery with the initiation of human clinical trials. To initiate the preclinical drug development phase, animal testing plays a crucial role in checking the efficacy, potency, and ADRs. Mice models are the most widely used for drug testing among all animals. For instance, at Pfizer, 99% of the animals are rats and mice.
End User-Based Insights
The patient-derived xenograft model market is segmented based on end users into pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, contract research organizations, and academic and government research institutions. The academic and government research institutions segment held the major patient-derived xenograft model market share in 2022 and is expected to register the highest CAGR during 2022-2030.
