Fibriant B.V., Has Expanded The Existing Recombinant Fibrinogen License Agreement With Bioceros B.V. For Fibrinogen Concentrates Market
The increasing availability of fibrinogen products and rise in a number of bleeding disorders are major factors serving as a driver for the fibrinogen concentrates market. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the United States, Hemophilia A affects 1 in 5,000 male births. About 400 babies are born with hemophilia A each year. Fibrinogen products are widely used to treat health problems associated with fibrinogen deficiencies. Fibrinogen is a glycoprotein that helps in the formation of blood clots. Thus increasing demand for fibrinogen concentrates for treating bleeding disorders in patients is significantly contributing to the growth of the fibrinogen concentrates market.
North
America is expected to lead the global fibrinogen concentrates market owing to
the growing focus on the adoption of fibrinogen products in the region. For instance, in November 2019, Octapharma
USA sponsored a scientific symposium, "Fibrinogen Supplementation in Surgical
Patients - New Perspectives in Acquired Fibrinogen Deficiency. Also, the high
prevalence of bleeding-related disorders in the region is again fostering
regional market growth.
1. In November 2018, Swissmedic has
granted marketing authorization for Octapharma’s new fibrinogen concentrate
product fibryga for the treatment of congenital and acquired fibrinogen
deficiencies. The key features of the product are the purity, the unaltered
functionality of fibrinogen, and a high level of pathogen safety
2. In June 2019, Grifols the
providers of plasma-derived medicines to treat life-threatening diseases with
Ethicon Inc. announced that the launch of VISTASEAL™ fibrin sealant as part of a broad global relationship to
provide plasma-protein-based solutions to manage surgical bleeding
3. In December 2019, Fibriant B.V.,
a developer of innovative recombinant fibrin (ogen) technology and products
announced that it has expanded the existing recombinant fibrinogen license
agreement with Bioceros B.V. for the use of their CHOBC® expression technology
and also include development and manufacturing of recombinant human (pro) thrombin.
Fibrinogen
is a protein used in the circulatory system and also in bone tissue. It is also
used in wound healing, as it is an excellent source of collagen, a tough,
fibrous protein that makes up about twenty percent of the connective tissue in
the body and is particularly effective in helping to repair wounds. Fibrinogen
is produced by the body and the fibrin protein is found in collagen fibers, in
blood vessels, and in the placenta. It is synthesized by the body when it is
exposed to an injury or trauma. The fibrinogen in an injury is highly effective
in treating the wound, but it is difficult to extract because of its highly
complex molecular structure.
