Key Factors Driving the Growth of the Mismatch Repair Deficiency Market
Rising Prevalence of dMMR-Associated Cancers
Mismatch repair deficiency is a hallmark of various cancers, including colorectal, endometrial, and gastric cancers. The increasing incidence of these cancers has heightened the demand for targeted therapies.
Advancements in Immunotherapy and Biomarker Testing
The approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as Bristol Myers Squibb's OPDIVO, for treating dMMR cancers has revolutionized treatment approaches. These therapies exploit the high mutational burden in dMMR tumors to enhance immune system targeting. The pan-tumor indication for immunotherapy in dMMR/MSI-H cancers has broadened treatment options and emphasized the importance of biomarker testing.
Expanding dMMR Clinical Trial Activities
The treatment pipeline for dMMR is strong, with new therapies in development, such as Zimberelimab combined with Domvanalimab (Arcus Biosciences/Gilead Sciences), HRO761 (Novartis), MDNA11 (Medicenna Therapeutics), RO7589831 (Roche), and others, aimed at delivering safe and effective therapeutic options.
Mismatch Repair Deficiency Market Analysis
dMMR/MSI-H cancers continue to represent a high-value segment in immuno-oncology, driven by widespread testing and durable responses to PD-1 inhibitors. On the commercial front, KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab, Merck) anchors the space with its tumor-agnostic US approval now fully implemented, allowing treatment across unresectable or metastatic MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors. OPDIVO (nivolumab, BMS), including the nivolumab + ipilimumab combination, has expanded in dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer, reinforcing PD-1 leadership. Approvals of dostarlimab (GSK) and durvalumab (AstraZeneca) in dMMR endometrial cancer are moving checkpoint therapy earlier in treatment lines and into combination regimens, broadening the patient population.
Looking forward, competition is intensifying with next-generation combinations such as zimberelimab (anti-PD-1) + domvanalimab (anti-TIGIT) and novel mechanisms like HRO761 (Novartis), a first-in-class WRN helicase inhibitor matched to MSI-H/dMMR tumors. As MSI testing penetration grows and multiple first-line and peri-operative studies report outcomes, revenue is expected to remain robust despite PD-1 class crowding. Key differentiators will be earlier-line use, combination efficacy, and biomarker-guided patient selection. Challenges include pricing pressure, biosimilar competition, and intellectual property considerations around formulation lifecycle strategies. Overall, the dMMR/MSI-H franchise is positioned for continued growth and label expansion across multiple tumor types.

Mismatch Repair Deficiency Competitive Landscape
The pipeline for treating dMMR is robust, with emerging therapies such as Zimberelimab + Domvanalimab (Arcus Biosciences/Gilead Sciences), HRO761 (Novartis), MDNA11 (Medicenna Therapeutics), RO7589831 (Roche), and others currently in development to provide safe and effective treatment options.
Arcus Biosciences/Gilead Sciences' Zimberelimab, a PD-1 inhibitor, and domvanalimab, a TIGIT inhibitor, are being developed by Arcus Biosciences in partnership with Gilead and are under investigation as a combined dual checkpoint blockade therapy. Zimberelimab works by reactivating T-cells through PD-1 inhibition, while domvanalimab targets the TIGIT pathway. This dual immunotherapy approach is also being evaluated in biomarker-selected cancers, including those with dMMR or MSI-H.
Novartis' HRO761, is a first-in-class WRN helicase inhibitor aimed at treating cancers with dMMR and MSI-H. Tumors with these features accumulate DNA errors and rely heavily on WRN helicase for survival, creating a synthetic lethality opportunity. By selectively inhibiting WRN, HRO761 is intended to eliminate dMMR/MSI-H tumor cells while minimizing effects on normal tissue, providing a targeted therapy option beyond conventional immunotherapy.
The anticipated launch of these emerging therapies are poised to transform the mismatch repair deficiency market landscape in the coming years. As these cutting-edge therapies continue to mature and gain regulatory approval, they are expected to reshape the mismatch repair deficiency market landscape, offering new standards of care and unlocking opportunities for medical innovation and economic growth.

What is Mismatch Repair Deficiency?
dMMR describes a malfunction in the cellular system that corrects errors occurring during DNA replication. Normally, the mismatch repair (MMR) mechanism detects and fixes mismatched base pairs or small insertions/deletions that arise during DNA synthesis or recombination. When this system loses functionality, DNA mutations accumulate, leading to genomic instability and a higher risk of cancer.
Diagnosis of dMMR involves examining tumor tissue for the absence of key MMR proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2) through immunohistochemistry or assessing microsatellite instability (MSI) via molecular tests. If dMMR is found, additional analyses, such as MLH1 promoter methylation or BRAF mutation testing, help differentiate between hereditary and sporadic cases. Germline genetic testing can confirm inherited syndromes like Lynch syndrome. This stepwise diagnostic process enables accurate identification of dMMR, informs cancer treatment decisions, and provides important information about familial risk.
