Antibody therapeutics research and development by the biopharmaceutical industry has undergone remarkable expansion in the past ~ 5 years. Over 100 novel antibodies entered first clinical studies in 2015, and the overall clinical pipeline now includes ~480 antibodies. Importantly for patients, these molecules are progressing through the phases of clinical testing, and being approved for marketing. Over 50 antibody therapeutics for a variety of diseases are in Phase 3 studies. A record number (9 new products) were granted first marketing approvals in the United States or European Union in 2015, and the evidence suggests that a larger number may be approved in 2016. A new presentation now available to Society members shows the number of novel antibodies that entered clinical studies recently, how many are in the three clinical phases, and which antibodies might be approved in 2016.
