Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) Overview, Country-Specific Treatment Guidelines, and Diagnosis

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare cancer that most commonly arises in the glandular tissues of the head and neck, particularly the salivary glands, but it can also develop in other areas such as the skin, breast, and respiratory tract. ACC tends to grow slowly but is unpredictable, with a potential to recur many years after initial treatment and to spread (metastasize), most often to the lungs, liver, or bones. It is more frequently diagnosed in people aged 40 to 60 and is slightly more common in females. The exact cause of ACC is unknown, but it is believed to result from genetic changes acquired during a person's lifetime rather than inherited mutations.

Diagnosis of ACC begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination, focusing on the location and characteristics of any lumps or symptoms. Imaging studies such as CT, MRI, PET, and ultrasound scans are used to determine the size, location, and extent of the tumor, as well as to check for spread to other parts of the body. A definitive diagnosis is made by biopsy, where a tissue sample is examined under a microscope to identify the characteristic features of ACC. Biopsies can be performed with fine needle aspiration, core needle, or surgical methods, depending on the tumor's location and accessibility. Overactivation of the MYB oncogene has been described as a hallmark of ACC and is noted in over 90% of ACC cases.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) Treatment

The primary treatment for ACC is surgical removal of the tumor, often followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence. Surgery aims to excise the tumor with clear margins, but due to the tumor's tendency to invade nerves and surrounding tissues, complete removal can be challenging. Radiation therapy may be used as an adjunct or, in cases where surgery is not feasible, as the main treatment. Chemotherapy is generally less effective for ACC, as these tumors are often resistant to standard chemotherapeutic agents. However, targeted therapies and participation in clinical trials may be considered for advanced or recurrent cases, and management typically involves a multidisciplinary team approach tailored to the individual patient.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) Epidemiology

The ACC epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted data in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2025 to 2034. The ACC epidemiology is segmented with detailed insights into Incident Cases, Age-specific Cases, Gender-specific Cases, Site-specific Cases, Treated Cases of ACC.

• As per the Adenoid cystic carcinoma Research Foundation, It is estimated that approximately 11,000 people are living with ACC in the US.
• Although ACC can occur at any age, it most frequently presents in middle-aged to older adults, with an average age at diagnosis around 52 years.
• Approximately 80% of ACC patients are diagnosed with a primary tumor in the head or neck area. ACC of the salivary glands, the most common form of the disease, is thought to account for ~25% of all salivary gland malignancies.
• Survival rates are relatively high at five years (~80%), but decline significantly over longer periods due to late recurrences and metastases.

Emerging Therapies

Gotistobart (ONC-392): OncoC4

ONC-392 is the first acid pH-sensitive anti-CTLA-4 antibody, designed to bind CTLA-4 at physiological and tumor pH but release it in acidic environments (pH <6.0). This preserves CTLA-4's normal recycling in healthy tissues, reducing toxicity, while enabling effective depletion of tumor-infiltrating Tregs. Its unique mechanism enhances safety and efficacy, offering a superior therapeutic index over traditional CTLA-4 therapies.

ONC-392 is currently being evaluated in a Phase II cohort of the PRESERVE-001 trial (NCT04140526) specifically for adenoid cystic carcinoma, aiming to assess its safety and efficacy as a novel, next-generation anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapy in this hard-to-treat cancer.

Alrizomadlin (APG-115): Ascentage Pharma

Alrizomadlin (APG-115) is an oral, selective small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, designed to disrupt the MDM2-p53 interaction. By inhibiting MDM2, alrizomadlin stabilizes and activates the tumor suppressor protein p53, promoting apoptosis in cancer cells.

At ASCO 2025, Ascentage Pharma presented new Phase II clinical data of alrizomadlin in patients with ACC that demonstrated an objective response rate (ORR) of 16.7% and a disease control rate (DCR) of 100%. These results suggest that the targeted inhibition of the MDM2-p53 pathway has antitumor activity in ACC; therefore, it can potentially offer a new treatment strategy to patients with ACC.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) Market Outlook

The ACC market is expected to grow steadily through the next decade, propelled by innovation in diagnostics and therapeutics, increased clinical trial activity, and a greater focus on personalized medicine. However, challenges such as high treatment costs and the rarity of the disease will continue to shape the market landscape.

• Significant unmet needs remain in advanced or metastatic disease, highlighting the need for innovation, as no FDA, EMA, or PMDA approved treatments exist.
• Surgery remains the primary treatment, especially for salivary gland ACC, often followed by radiation therapy if there is a risk of recurrence or incomplete removal.
• During the forecast period, pipeline candidates such as Alrizomadlin, Gotistobart, REM-422, RGT-61159, and others are expected to drive the rise in ACC market size.

In a nutshell, many potential therapies are being investigated to manage ACC. Even though it is too soon to comment on the above-mentioned promising candidate to enter the market during the forecast period (2025-2034), it is safe to assume that the future of this market is bright. Eventually, these drugs will create a significant difference in the landscape of ACC in the coming years. The treatment space is expected to experience a significant positive shift in the coming years owing to the improvement in healthcare spending worldwide.
