Pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody used in cancer immunotherapy that treats melanoma, lung cancer, head & neck cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, and stomach cancer. It is an IgG4 isotype antibody that blocks the protection mechanism for cancer cells and thereby, allows the immune system to destroy them. Pembrolizumab targets the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) receptor of lymphocytes. It works by targeting protein cells in the body's immune cells and some cancer cells, referred to as PD-1/PD-L1. In patients who can't receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy and have a high level of PD-L1, it is used as a first-line treatment for metastatic bladder cancer. Moreover, it is also used for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with refractory classic Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL), and recurrent locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cells. Common side effects include musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, nausea, decreased appetite, itchy skin, diarrhea, rash, fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. Pembrolizumab is sold under the brand name Keytruda.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated in Hubei province of the Wuhan city in China in late December. The highly contagious disease, caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from human to human. Since the outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 213 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency on March 11, 2020.

Pharmaceutical and biotech companies together with governments around the globe are working to address the COVID-19 outbreak, from supporting the development of vaccines to planning for medicine supply chain challenges. Currently, around 115 vaccine candidates and 155 molecules are in the R&D pipeline. Moreover, commonly used drugs such as hydroxychloroquine have witnessed a dramatic surge in demand for the management of COVID-19. Such high demand for these drugs has presented huge opportunities for manufacturers of COVID-19 management drugs, as many developed countries are facing shortage of these drugs. Thus, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are expected witness a significant growth in the future owing to the demand for vaccine and treatment drugs for COVID-19. This in turn is expected to have a significant impact on the pembrolizumab market.
