The FLT3 inhibitors market is currently established. With their respective therapeutic portfolios developed and created specifically for the treatment of FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukaemia, a large number of new and established companies are entering the market, which is causing the industry's massive growth in the treatment of blood cancers with FLT3 positive mutations (AML). Through imaging, genomic, and biomarker research, scientists are discovering more about the biology of AML. This information will probably assist in resolving many current problems with FLT3 mutant AML diagnosis and classification.

The global FLT3 inhibitors market is expected to reach $2,061.3 million in 2032 from $400.9 million in 2021 at a CAGR of 14.88% during the forecast period 2022-2032. The global FLT3 inhibitors market growth is expected to be driven by the introduction of novel products, the increasing incidence of acute myeloid leukemia, and the rising research and development investments, among others.

Impact

The growing interest of the pharmaceutical industry in the therapeutic potential for treating blood cancers with FLT3 positive mutations has been a catalyst for the progress of the global FLT3 inhibitors market. Recently approved products such as Xospata and Rydapt for treating FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML)  The recent increase in the number of drug approvals received for treating acute myeloid leukemia with FLT3 positive mutations is considered to have added value to the emerging potential drug development. There are three FLT3 inhibitors approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration during 2015-2021. Also, many FLT3 inhibitors are in preclinical or clinical trials, indicating progress toward making an impact in the pharmaceutical industry.

Drug development is more prominent in countries such as the U.S., Germany, the U.K., and Japan. Moreover, the presence of major market players such as Astellas Pharma Inc., Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited., Novartis AG, Allarity Therapeutics, Inc., and AROG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has a positive impact on the market growth.

Recent Developments in the Global FLT3 Inhibitors Market

•    In March 2021, Astellas Pharma's Xospata (Gilteritinib) met the overall survival endpoint in the COMMODORE trial of subjects having FLT3 mutated relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
•    In December 2021, Allarity Therapeutics submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. FDA for Dovitinib as a third-line treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
•    In June 2021, Cullinan Oncology received Investigational New Drug (IND) Clearance from the FDA for CLN-049 to treat relapsed/refractory AML.
•    In June 2019, Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the U.S. FDA for the New Drug Application (NDA) of Vanflyta (Quizartinib) to treat adult patients with relapsed/ refractory FLT3-ITD acute myeloid leukemia.

Analyst's Thoughts

According to Vaishali Chauhan, Research Analyst, BIS Research, "The global FLT3 inhibitors market is a small segment of the entire tyrosine kinase inhibitors market and is growing. Moreover, along with it, the rising interest of the pharmaceutical industry in developing and marketing novel drugs for treating blood cancers with FLT3 positive mutations is making headway in the growth of the global FLT3 inhibitors market. Until recently, patients suffering from FLT3 mutated AML were mainly treated with chemotherapy, which was not very efficient at improving survival rates. A new group of drugs known as FLT3 inhibitors is enhancing the outlook for people with the FLT3 positive mutation."
