This is of utmost importance amid the current situation where the number of patients outweigh the available limited resources.The management also confirmed that the FDA’s approval for an expanded indication was pursued based on the medical fraternity’s demand for a longer dwell time.Industry ProspectsPer a report by Transparency Market Research, the global IO devices market was valued at more than $361 million in 2017 and is projected to reach $586.9 million by 2026, at a CAGR of approximately 5.5%.
