Adult Malignant Glioma Therapeutics Global Market Report 2024

The adult malignant glioma therapeutics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.03 billion in 2023 to $2.25 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The historical growth in the field of adult malignant glioma therapeutics can be attributed to factors such as an increase in incidence rates, the influence of patient advocacy initiatives, and the adoption of personalized medicine approaches. These factors have contributed to advancements in understanding the disease and tailoring treatment strategies to individual patients, thereby influencing the positive trajectory in this therapeutic domain.

The adult malignant glioma therapeutics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.23 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period for adult malignant glioma therapeutics can be attributed to advancements in immunotherapy, targeted therapies, biomarker discoveries, the application of liquid biopsy techniques, and the expansion of access programs. These trends reflect a shift towards patient-centric drug development, accelerated regulatory pathways such as fast-track and breakthrough designations, innovations in drug delivery systems, collaborative research initiatives, and the integration of artificial intelligence in enhancing treatment approaches.

The upward trajectory in brain tumor cases is anticipated to be a significant driver in propelling the growth of the adult malignant glioma therapeutics market. Brain tumors represent anomalous masses of tissue characterized by the abnormal proliferation and unchecked growth of cells, circumventing the usual regulatory mechanisms. Adult malignant glioma, a specific type of brain tumor, comprises cells exhibiting abnormal and uncontrolled growth patterns. Treatment for adult malignant glioma typically involves a combination of surgical procedures, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Illustrating this trend, as per the American Cancer Society's January 2023 report, the number of cases related to brain and nervous system cancers escalated to 24,810 in 2023, demonstrating a notable 3.85% increase from 23,890 recorded in 2020. Thus, the mounting instances of brain tumors serve as a driving force behind the expansion of the adult malignant glioma therapeutics market.

The infusion of government funding dedicated to brain cancer research is poised to significantly propel the growth trajectory of the adult malignant glioma therapeutics market moving forward. Government funding entails financial support disbursed by governmental bodies at various levels - federal, state, or local - towards initiatives, programs, projects, organizations, or individuals. The allocation of government funds for brain cancer research holds substantial promise for advancing adult malignant glioma therapeutics. This funding can significantly aid in the development of innovative treatments, tailored drug design, focusing on pyrimidine synthesis, and expediting orphan drug approvals. For example, in June 2023, the Australian Department of Health and Aged Care initiated the Australian Brain Cancer Mission, committing a fund of $136.66 million specifically aimed at supporting brain cancer research endeavors. The primary objective of this initiative is to double survival rates and enhance the overall quality of life for brain cancer patients, including those with anaplastic astrocytoma. Consequently, government funding geared towards brain cancer research stands as a pivotal driver propelling the adult malignant glioma therapeutics market.

The high expenses associated with chemotherapy stand as a significant constraint impacting the global adult malignant glioma therapeutics market. Chemotherapy involves the utilization of potent medications, particularly anti-cancer drugs, aimed at destroying rapidly dividing cells within the body. The fluctuating costs of chemotherapy, influenced by specific drugs and cancer types, often act as a deterrent for patients seeking access to treatment, potentially affecting their overall health and financial well-being. For instance, as reported by the National Cancer Institute in July 2022, the average expenses for medical care and medications during the first year following a cancer diagnosis exceeded $42,000, with certain procedures reaching costs surpassing $1 million. Consequently, the steep cost of chemotherapy is poised to negatively impact the adult malignant glioma therapeutics market.

Leading companies within the adult malignant glioma therapeutics market are actively engaged in the development of innovative products, notably small molecule targeted degraders, aimed at providing enhanced and dependable customer service. Small-molecule targeted degraders represent a class of drugs employing small molecules to induce the degradation of specific proteins by targeting both the protein of interest (POI) and an E3 ubiquitin ligase. For instance, in February 2023, Beactica Therapeutics AB, a precision oncology company based in Sweden, attained orphan drug designation approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for BEA-17 designed to treat glioblastoma (GBM). BEA-17 functions as a small-molecule targeted degrader targeting the epigenetic enzyme LSD1 and its co-factor CoREST, implicated in the pathogenesis of various cancers, including GBM. The drug works by degrading LSD1 and CoREST, leading to the reactivation of tumor suppressor genes and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. This innovative approach holds promise in advancing treatment options within the adult malignant glioma therapeutics market.

In May 2021, Novocure Ltd., a Swiss-based pioneer in developing and producing innovative oncology therapies, formed a collaboration with GT Medical Technologies Inc. This partnership seeks to merge Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) with GT Medical Technologies' GammaTile Surgically Targeted Radiation Therapy (STaRT) in the management of recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Novocure and GT Medical Technologies aim to commence a phase 2 pilot study specifically designed to assess the safety and efficacy of neo-adjuvant TTFields, followed by resection, GammaTile Therapy, and adjuvant TTFields for treating recurrent GBM. GT Medical Technologies Inc., headquartered in the United States, specializes in providing surgically targeted radiation therapy catering to various malignant brain tumors in adult patients.
