ABSTRACT
Peptides have gained popularity in the global market during recent years and have been placed between small molecule drugs and biologics. However, little is known about the comprehensive landscape of peptide drugs in obstetrics and gynaecology. Herein, we analysed new peptide drug-related clinical trials in obstetrics and gynaecology registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. The number and percentage were used for statistical analysis, and a time trend analysis was conducted by calculating the annual growth rate. We aimed to provide the first overview of the changing landscape and status of global peptide drugs in this prospective field, including exploring drug targets, the cutting-edge oncotherapy of peptide vaccines and peptide-drug conjugates, and unsolved challenges with oral administration.
