Key Risk Factors Fueling the Surge in HNSCC Cases: Driving the Recurrent Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Market.
The increase in occurrences of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) can be linked to various significant risk factors. Both smoking and excessive alcohol consumption continue to be significant factors, as their combination greatly enhances the risk of developing HNSCC. Another rising worry is the distribution of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which is currently associated with a growing number of cases, particularly among younger people. Moreover, environmental aspects like contact with toxins, insufficient nutrition, and lack of proper oral care play a role in the disease’s progression. The increasing elderly population also contributes, as seniors are more vulnerable to different forms of cancer such as HNSCC. These elements are increasing the necessity for efficient therapies, enhancing the demand for treatments focused on recurrent HNSCC. New treatments such as immunotherapy and targeted therapies are transforming the treatment landscape, resulting in increased market opportunities. Initiatives aimed at enhancing early detection, customizing treatments, and increasing clinical trials are also fostering the expansion of this industry.

Marketed Therapies in Recurrent Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Market
Keytruda (Pembrolizumab): Merck & Co
Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is an FDA-approved immunotherapy used to treat recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in patients whose cancer has advanced after platinum-based chemotherapy. It works by blocking the PD-1 receptor, which helps activate the body’s immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. In clinical trials, Keytruda has shown improved survival rates and is specifically approved for patients with tumors expressing PD-L1.
Opdivo (Nivolumab): Bristol-Myers Squibb/Ono Pharmaceuticals
Opdivo (nivolumab) is an FDA-approved immunotherapy used to treat recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in patients whose cancer has worsened after platinum-based chemotherapy. By blocking the PD-1 receptor, it helps the immune system identify and target cancer cells. Clinical studies have shown that Opdivo improves overall survival and is approved for patients with tumors expressing PD-L1.
Emerging Therapies in Recurrent Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Market
ASP-1929: Rakuten Medical
ASP-1929 is a photoimmunotherapy developed by Rakuten Medical for the treatment of recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). It consists of cetuximab conjugated to a light-activated dye (IR700), which selectively binds to EGFR-expressing cancer cells. Upon activation with near-infrared light, ASP-1929 induces rapid and targeted cancer cell destruction. It is being evaluated as a novel tumor-selective therapy in clinical trials.
BNT113: BioNTech SE
BNT113 is an investigational mRNA-based cancer vaccine developed by BioNTech SE for the treatment of recurrent and metastatic HPV16-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). It is designed to stimulate an immune response against HPV16 E6 and E7 oncoproteins, enhancing T-cell activity to target and eliminate cancer cells.
Drug Name | Company Name | MOA | ROA |
ASP-1929 | Rakuten Medical | Cell death stimulants; Photosensitisers | Intravenous Infusion |
BNT113 | BioNTech SE | Immunostimulants | Intravenous Infusion |
