iPS細胞市場的市場動態

自從大約20年前發現誘導多能幹細胞(iPS細胞)以來,該領域以前所未有的速度發展。 2013年,僅花了七年時間,首個源自iPS細胞的細胞產品就被移植到人體患者體內。此後,iPS細胞衍生的細胞在全球範圍內被擴大應用於臨床前試驗、醫生主導的研究和臨床試驗中,凸顯了其變革性的巨大潛力。

誘導多能幹細胞(iPS細胞)的發現徹底革新了多個科學領域,包括藥物研發、毒性測試和體外疾病建模,並對細胞和基因治療產生了重大影響。由於iPS細胞能夠在體外無限增殖並分化成特定細胞類型,因此它們是用途廣泛且理想的臨床細胞替代療法和高級疾病建模細胞來源。

首個利用誘導多能幹細胞(iPS細胞)的細胞療法於2013年在日本神戶理研中心啟動。這項由高橋正代博士主導的臨床試驗檢驗了iPS細胞衍生的視網膜細胞片在老齡化黃斑部病變患者的安全性。 2016年,Cynata Therapeutics公司獲得了CYP-001的臨床試驗批准,成為全球首例獲準用於治療類固醇抗藥性急性移植物抗宿主疾病(GvHD)的iPS細胞衍生的同種異體細胞製劑。此iPS細胞衍生的間質幹細胞(MSC)製劑在安全性和有效性方面均表現出良好的效果,並成功達到了其臨床終點。

目前,誘導多能幹細胞(iPS細胞)是至少228項正在進行的臨床試驗的核心,這些試驗針對多種疾病。 iPS細胞衍生的間質幹細胞(MSCs)正被用於治療類固醇抗藥性急性移植物抗宿主疾病(GvHD),而iPS細胞衍生的多巴胺前驅細胞則正在被評估用於治療帕金森氏症。在腫瘤學領域,iPS細胞衍生的自然殺手(iNK)細胞正被研究作為轉移性固體癌的癌症免疫療法。其他應用包括利用視網膜色素上皮細胞治療老齡化黃斑部病變(AMD),以及利用iPS細胞衍生的胰島素分泌BETA細胞治療第一型糖尿病。這些多樣化的治療項目凸顯了iPS細胞在治療多種疾病方面的巨大潛力。

在總合228項臨床試驗中,有66項專門評估iPS細胞衍生細胞作為治療藥物的療效,其餘試驗則不以治療為目的,例如用於疾病建模或研究。這些試驗主要集中於再生醫學領域,用於治療帕金森氏症、視網膜疾病、心臟衰竭和免疫系統疾病等,其中許多試驗處於I/II期臨床試驗階段。

近年來,iPS細胞領域併購活動持續活躍。其中包括Axol Biosciences收購Newcells Biotech和Phenocell,以及Century Therapeutics以3,500萬美元收購Clade 創業投資。此外,還出現了一系列旨在擴大符合GMP標準的生產能力並推廣現成異體細胞療法的策略聯盟和許可合作。創投依然強勁,預計在2023年至2026年4月期間將達到約10.4億美元。雖然這較2021年21.5億美元的尖峰時段有所下降,但投資人越來越青睞那些擁有自有全端生產平台、能夠從研發階段過渡到臨床治療階段的公司。

誘導多能幹細胞(iPS細胞)的商業性潛力也在顯著擴展。各公司正將iPS細胞衍生產品應用於藥物研發、疾病建模和毒性測試等領域。富士膠片細胞動力學國際公司(FCDI)是該領域的領導者之一。細胞動力學國際公司(CDI)由威斯康辛大學麥迪遜分校的詹姆斯湯姆森博士於2004年創立,並於2007年成為首批成功建立人類iPS細胞株的公司之一。 2015年,FUJIFILM以3.07億美元收購了CDI,成立了FCDI。如今,該公司已成為全球最大的用於科學研究和再生醫學的iPS細胞衍生人類細胞生產商。

ReproCELL成立於2009年,是東京大學和京都大學的衍生公司,也是第一個將誘導多能幹細胞(iPS細胞)產品商業化的公司。其iPS細胞衍生的心肌細胞系列產品「ReproCardio」為該產業的發展鋪平了道路。在歐洲,Evotec和Ncardia是領先的公司之一。總部位於德國漢堡的Evotec專注於利用iPS細胞進行藥物篩檢的產業化,並已建成全球最先進的iPS細胞平台之一。 Ncardia由Axiogenesis和Pluriomics於2017年合併而成,專注於將iPS細胞應用於心臟和神經系統。其前身Axiogenesis是首家於2010年獲得iPS細胞技術許可的歐洲公司。

大型科研用品公司在iPS細胞衍生產品的商業化過程中也扮演著至關重要的角色。這些公司包括Lonza、BD Biosciences、Thermo Fisher Scientific、Merck和Takara Bio等眾多企業。目前,共有90多家公司活躍於iPS細胞市場,為科學研究和治療應用提供廣泛的產品、服務和技術。

Since the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology in 2006, significant progress has been made in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. New pathological mechanisms have been identified and explained, new drugs identified by iPSC screens are in the pipeline, and clinical trials employing human iPSC-derived cell types have been undertaken. iPSCs can be used to explore the causes of disease onset and progression, create and test new drugs and therapies, and treat previously incurable diseases.

Today, methods of commercializing induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) include:

  • Cellular Therapy: iPSCs are being investigated for use in a wide range of cell therapy applications aimed at reversing injuries or curing diseases by replacing damaged or lost cells.
  • Disease Modeling: iPSCs derived from patients with specific disorders can be differentiated into disease-specific cell types, enabling the creation of accurate, functional disease models "in a dish" for research and therapeutic development.
  • Drug Development and Discovery: iPSCs provide physiologically relevant cells for drug discovery processes, including compound identification, target validation, compound screening, and tool development, significantly improving the efficiency and relevance of these efforts.
  • Personalized Medicine: By combining iPSCs with genome-editing technologies like CRISPR, scientists can introduce precise genetic modifications, such as knock-outs, knock-ins, or single base changes, paving the way for customized treatments tailored to individual genetic profiles.
  • Toxicology Testing: iPSCs or their derivatives (tissue-specific cells) are used for toxicology screening to assess the safety and efficacy of compounds or drugs in living cells, reducing reliance on animal testing.
  • Tissue Engineering: iPSCs can be cultured on biocompatible scaffolds that mimic the structure and properties of target tissues, providing a supportive environment for cell growth and differentiation and aiding the development of engineered tissues for transplantation.
  • Organoid Production: iPSCs can self-organize into 3D structures called organoids, which closely resemble the structure and function of human organs. Organoids are valuable for studying organ development, modeling diseases, and testing drug candidates.
  • Gene Editing: iPSCs can be modified using techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 to correct disease-causing mutations or introduce specific genetic alterations. These edited iPSCs can then be differentiated into functional cells for transplantation or advanced disease studies.
  • Research Tools: iPSCs and their derivatives are extensively used in both basic and applied research to study cellular processes, understand diseases, and test experimental therapies.
  • Stem Cell Banking: iPSC repositories store and provide access to diverse iPSC-derived cell types, offering researchers valuable resources to investigate conditions using cells from both healthy and affected donors.
  • Cultured Meat Production: iPSCs are utilized in lab-grown meat production, serving as a cellular foundation for creating clean, sustainable meat products without the need for traditional animal farming.
  • 3D Bioprinting: iPSCs can be differentiated into specific cell types, such as skin, heart, or liver cells, and incorporated into bioinks for use in 3D bioprinting applications, enabling the creation of complex tissue structures.

iPSC Market Dynamics

Since the discovery of iPSCs approximately 20 years ago, the field has advanced at an unprecedented pace. It took just seven years for the first iPSC-derived cell product to be transplanted into a human patient in 2013. Since then, iPSC-derived cells have been increasingly used in preclinical studies, physician-led research, and clinical trials worldwide, underscoring their transformative potential.

The discovery of iPSCs has revolutionized several scientific fields, including drug discovery, toxicity testing, and in-a-dish disease modeling, while also having a profound impact on cell and gene therapy. Their ability to multiply indefinitely in vitro and differentiate into specialized cells has made them a highly versatile and ideal source for clinical cell replacement therapies and advanced disease modeling.

The first cellular therapy involving iPSCs began in 2013 at the RIKEN Center in Kobe, Japan. Led by Dr. Masayo Takahashi, this trial investigated the safety of iPSC-derived retinal cell sheets in patients with macular degeneration. In 2016, Cynata Therapeutics achieved a world first by gaining approval for a clinical trial of an allogeneic iPSC-derived cell product, CYP-001, for treating steroid-resistant acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). This iPSC-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) product demonstrated positive safety and efficacy results, successfully meeting its clinical endpoints.

Today, iPSCs are at the center of at least 228 ongoing clinical trials targeting a range of conditions. iPSC-derived MSCs are being tested for steroid-resistant acute GvHD, while dopaminergic progenitors derived from iPSCs are being evaluated for Parkinson’s disease. In oncology, iPSC-derived natural killer (iNK) cells are being studied as cancer immunotherapies for metastatic solid tumors. Other applications include the use of retinal pigment epithelial cells for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and insulin-secreting beta cells derived from iPSCs for Type 1 diabetes. These diverse therapeutic programs highlight the vast potential of iPSCs in treating a variety of diseases.

Of the 228 total trials, 66 are specifically evaluating iPSC-derived cells as therapeutics - the rest are non-therapeutic, such as disease modeling a research use - with a focus on regenerative medicine applications like Parkinson's disease, retinal diseases, heart failure, and immune disorders, mostly in Phase I/II.

The iPS cell sector has seen steady M&A activity in recent years, including Axol Biosciences' acquisitions of Newcells Biotech and Phenocell, and Century Therapeutics' $35 million acquisition of Clade Therapeutics, alongside a wave of strategic partnerships and licensing deals aimed at scaling GMP-compliant manufacturing and advancing off-the-shelf allogeneic cell therapies. Venture capital investment has remained strong, totaling roughly $1.04 billion between 2023 and April 2026, down from a 2021 peak of $2.15 billion, as investors increasingly favor companies with proprietary, full-stack manufacturing platforms poised to move from research into clinical-stage therapeutics.

The commercial potential of iPSCs has also expanded significantly. Companies are leveraging iPSC-derived products in drug development, disease modeling, and toxicology testing. FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics International (FCDI) stands out as one of the largest players in the field. Cellular Dynamics International (CDI), founded in 2004 by Dr. James Thomson at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, became one of the first companies to derive human iPSC lines in 2007. In 2015, FUJIFILM acquired CDI for $307 million, creating FCDI, which is now the world’s largest producer of human cells derived from iPSCs for research and regenerative medicine.

ReproCELL, founded in 2009 as a venture from the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University, was the first company to commercialize iPSC products. Its ReproCardio line of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes paved the way for the industry. In Europe, leading competitors include Evotec and Ncardia. Evotec, based in Hamburg, Germany, has built one of the most advanced iPSC platforms in the world, focusing on industrializing iPSC-based drug screening. Ncardia, formed through the merger of Axiogenesis and Pluriomics in 2017, specializes in cardiac and neural applications of iPSCs. Axiogenesis, one of its predecessors, was the first European company to license iPSC technology in 2010.

Large research supply companies are also playing a major role in the commercialization of iPSC-derived products. These include Lonza, BD Biosciences, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Merck, Takara Bio, and numerous others. Collectively, more than 90 companies are active in the iPSC market, offering a broad range of products, services, and technologies that cater to both research and therapeutic applications.

The global iPSC market continues to grow rapidly. A comprehensive report on the field provides an overview of key players, strategic partnerships, and innovations driving the sector.
