Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook
The race for CTSZ therapeutics is intensifying, with major players shifting focus from traditional broad-spectrum protease inhibitors to highly selective monoclonal antibodies and small molecules. As first-generation therapies reach the clinic, the next wave of R&D is targeting CTSZ's unique role in the tumor microenvironment (specifically tumor-associated macrophages) and neuroinflammatory pathways.
