North America Glioblastoma Multiforme Treatment Market - Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Market Analysis and Insights

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a grade IV WHO malignant tumor with astrocytic differentiation. As one of the most common clinically diagnosed central nervous system (CNS) oncological entries, there have been a wide variety of historical reports of the description and evolution of ideas regarding these tumors. The first recorded reports of gliomas were given in British scientific reports, by Berns in 1800 and in 1804 by Abernety, with the first comprehensive histomorphological description being given in 1865 by Rudolf Virchow. In 1926 Percival Bailey and Harvey Cushing gave the base for the modern classification of gliomas. Between 1934 and 1941 the most prolific researcher in glioma research was Hans-Joachim Scherer, who postulated some of the clinico-morphological aspects of GBM. With the introduction of molecular and genetic tests the true multifomity of GBM has been established, with different genotypes bearing the same histomorphological and IHC picture, as well as some of the aspects of gliomagenesis. For a GBM to develop, a specific trigger mutation needs to occur in a GBM stem cell - primary GBM, or a slow aggregation of individual mutations, without a distinct trigger mutation - secondary GBM. Knowledge of GBM has been closely related to general medical knowledge of the CNS since these malignancies were first described more than 200 years ago. Several great leaps have been made in that time, in the footsteps of both CNS and advancements in general medical knowledge.  The demand for glioblastoma multiforme treatment is increasing, for which manufacturers are involved in the new product launches, increasing pipeline products and event participation in the market. These decisions are ultimately enhancing the growth of the market.

Market Definition

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor and accounts for 60% of brain tumors in adults. GBMs can arise in the brain de novo or evolve from lower-grade astrocytoma. In adults, GBM occurs most often in the cerebral hemispheres, especially in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Many genetic and environmental factors have been studied in glioblastoma multiforme, but no risk factor that accounts for a large proportion of GBM has been identified. So like many other cancers, GBM is sporadic, although some studies indicate a high prevalence (17%) of prior therapeutic irradiation among patients with GBM. The latency between irradiation and the development of GBM varies from a few years to several decades. There is no substantial evidence of GBM association with lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol consumption, drug use, or exposure to N- Nitroso compounds. Studies have shown that the use of mobile phones doesn't increase the risk of development of GBM; however, its association with long term use needs further confirmation. 

Glioblastoma Multiforme Treatment Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing prevalence of glioblastoma multiforme

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most commonly occurring malignant primary brain tumor, representing 77%-81% of all central nervous system (CNS) primary malignant tumors. The World Health Organization classified it as a grade IV diffuse astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumor. The mean age of primary GBM presentation is 62 years, and the median survival is approximately 14.6 months. The poor prognosis associated with GBM is well documented, while survival rates remain disappointingly low despite medical and surgical advances. As per the study, International studies reveal an approximate annual incidence rate of 0.59 to 5 per 100,000 persons; however, studies indicate a rise in incidence. Miranda-Filho et al. in 2017 described increasing rates of CNS and brain cancers in countries in South America, Eastern Europe, and Southern Europe, while decreasing rates were only reported in Japan. Dobes et al. in 2011 have also noted an increasing incidence of GBM tumors in two of their multicentered Australian studies, with a particular increase in frontal and temporal lobe GBM tumors. The increased incidence of glioblastoma multiforme raises the demand for early detection and diagnosis via utilizing the latest technology, propelling the global glioblastoma multiforme treatment market. The rising incidence of glioblastoma across the globe is expected to accelerate the demand for glioblastoma multiforme treatment. Thus, the increased incidence rates of glioblastoma multiforme are expected to boost the market's growth.

• Increasing research and development (r&d)

Increasing research and development (R&D) activities in molecular biotechnology and gene therapy for cancer and related diseases have facilitated the development of various biological drugs. These drugs assist in diminishing the side effects of the existing treatment methods, thus creating broader acceptance amongst patients. Tumor heterogeneity and variation in the patient-to-patient treatment approach are expected to increase the demand for a personalized treatment approach to manage glioblastoma  multiforme. The approval of new treatments is expected to increase the life expectancy of patients living with glioblastoma multiforme. Furthermore, a special designation granted to investigational drugs by the FDA is expected to expedite novel therapy's approval process and commercialization. An increase in collaborations between researchers and market players is expected to boost the development of novel and effective treatment options for glioblastoma multiforme. The increasing approval for novel therapy and combination therapy is expected to drive the glioblastoma multiforme treatment market. 

Opportunity

• Increasing drug approvals

The escalating demand for glioblastoma multiforme treatment should yield more regulatory approvals for associated drugs. Increasing regulatory endorsements for related drugs and recombinant products will constitute an increase in glioblastoma multiforme treatment market value in the coming years. In the framework of a Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) initiative to promote the recognition of Drug Regulatory Authorities, ANMAT´s evaluation process finished on December 11, 2009. The glioblastoma multiforme treatment industry has witnessed numerous drug approvals in recent years, driven by the increasing fatality rate of the disease. Increasing drug approvals will ramp up the glioblastoma multiforme treatment market demand.

Restraints/Challenges

High cost of glioblastoma multiforme treatment

The diagnostic tests for glioblastoma multiforme include highly technologically advanced products. Developing those products involves rigorous research and development by the developing player. Thus, the cost of the product remains high, which proportionally increases the cost of testing.

The diagnostic tools and techniques used for the diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme include

radiation therapy, chemotherapy, among others. Early stages of GBM typically present with minimal or no symptoms; therefore, GBM is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages, resulting in a poor prognosis. Thus, the high cost of treating the glioblastoma multiforme using the advanced modalities and technology products will act as a major restraining factor for the growth of the global glioblastoma multiforme treatment market.

Recent Developments

• In April 2022, Elekta and GE Healthcare announced that they had signed a global commercial collaboration agreement in the field of radiation oncology, enabling them to provide hospitals a comprehensive offering across imaging and treatment for cancer patients requiring radiation therapy. This partnership will allow the companies to jointly promote solutions for each cancer center’s needs
• In July 2019, Amgen and Allergan plc announced that MVASI (bevacizumab-awwb), a biosimilar to Avastin (bevacizumab) is available in the United States (U.S.). This launch will enhance the sales of the product in the region
