Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The race for P16-INK4A/CDKN2A therapeutics is intensifying, with major players shifting focus from traditional downstream CDK4/6 inhibitors to direct pathway restoration, senolytic targeting, and cancer immunotherapy. As first-generation CDK4/6 therapies face resistance challenges, the next wave of R&D is targeting CDKN2A-deficient microenvironments and exploiting cellular senescence pathways.
