Global trial landscape
- The number of CAR-T & TCR trials initiated continued to grow over the past four years with a 17% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
- Despite the growth rate slowing in the last year due to the COVID pandemic, 2020 was another record-breaking year with over 260 trials initiated.
- Further analysis shows that China has the highest number of CAR-T trials, closely followed by the US.
