Genetically engineered chimeric antibodies is a key innovation area in immuno-oncology

Chimeric antibodies are molecules created by fusing the variable domain of an antibody from one host species, such as mouse, rabbit, and llama, with the constant domain of an antibody from another species, such as humans. In 1997, the anti-CD20 chimeric antibody rituximab became the first FDA-approved immunotherapy for cancer.

GlobalData’s analysis also uncovers the companies at the forefront of each innovation area and assesses the potential reach and impact of their patenting activity across different applications and geographies.  According to GlobalData, there are 340+ companies, spanning technology vendors, established pharmaceutical companies, and up-and-coming start-ups engaged in the development and application of genetically engineered chimeric antibodies.

Key players in the genetically engineered chimeric antibodies space – a disruptive innovation in the pharmaceutical industry

‘Application diversity’ measures the number of different applications identified for each relevant patent and broadly splits companies into either ‘niche’ or ‘diversified’ innovators.

‘Geographic reach’ refers to the number of different countries each relevant patent is registered in and reflects the breadth of geographic application intended, ranging from ‘global’ to ‘local’.

Patent volumes related to genetically engineered chimeric antibodies space

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals is the leading patent filer for genetically engineered chimeric antibodies.
