Testing services are crucial for the timely development of viral vector-based medicines since viral vectors are the best strategy for gene therapies. Characterization of the viral vector plays an essential role for orthogonal analytical methods. Through the regulatory prospective which includes product safety, identification, purity, and potency, the characterization is significant. These days, viral vectors are the primary delivery system for a variety of virus-based medications that have been created for various therapies for conditions including cancer, neurology, hematology, ophthalmology, metabolic or muscular disorders and are accepted on the global market. The pharmaceutical industry has a bright future for several developments based on viral-based medicines.
Market Dynamics
The ongoing clinical trials on the viral vectors and plasmid DNA for various treatment is expected to fuel growth of the market in the forecast period. For instance, in October, 2022, ICON plc, a clinical research organization, in collaboration with researchers from Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, based in Saudi Arabia, announced the initiation of Phase-I clinical trial Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of 2 or 3 dose regimen of investigational Prophylactic pDNA Vaccine Candidate Against COVID-19 in Healthy Adults. The pDNA vaccine candidate is administered intramuscularly (IM) by immunizing healthy adults (18-55 years).
Similarly, in January 2022, GeneOne Life Science, Inc., a biotechnology company, in collaboration with Inovio Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology company, announced initiation of clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of GLS-5700. GLS-5700 is a synthetic DNA plasmid vaccine against the Zika virus, which is currently in Phase -1.
