Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The race for CTSS therapeutics is intensifying, with major players shifting focus from traditional broad-spectrum protease inhibitors to highly selective small molecules and monoclonal antibodies. As first-generation therapies reach the clinic, the next wave of R&D is targeting autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), as well as modulating the tumor microenvironment in solid tumors.
