China dominates CAR-T therapies

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is an innovative approach within cancer treatment. By genetically modifying a patient’s own immune cells to kill cancer cells, CAR-T therapies have shown promising results, especially for certain types of blood cancers. The efficacy of CAR-T therapies can vary depending on the type of cancer being treated and other factors such as patient characteristics and disease stage. According to GlobalData’s Clinical Trials Database, 48.1% of CAR-T trials are currently ongoing and recruiting, 20.7% are completed and 9.6% are planned. Currently, China is in the lead with the highest percentage of CAR-T trials at 55.3%, followed by the US at 26.9%, Germany at 3.1%, Spain at 3.0%, and France at 2.9%.
