In August 2024, the US FDA approved a new drug for slowing the growth of low-grade diffuse gliomas. This approval represents the thirst for molecularly targeted therapy designed for the disease and the first new option for treating low-grade diffuse glioma in over twenty years. The clinical trials demonstrating the drug's potential were published first in 2023 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Similarly, in April 2024, the FDA approved Tovorafenib for treating the most common childhood brain tumor. The FDA has approved the drug in an accelerated manner for patients who are six months or older with refractory or relapsed pediatric low-grade glioma (pLGG) harboring a BRAF V600 mutation or BRAF fusion or rearrangement. The goal of the treatment is to shrink or stabilize the tumor without disrupting the life of the family or the patient. Such approvals provide treatment options for types of brain cancer that previously did not have any aiding healthcare professionals in combating the disease.

Immunotherapy to Hold Significant Market Share

Immunotherapy approaches take advantage of the patient's immune system and aid in eliminating the cancer cells by activating and stimulating the immune system in a targeted manner to kill tumor cells. The increasing success of different immunotherapies over the past few years in patients with various types of cancer is bolstering the interest in the therapy for treating malignant gliomas. The increasing provision of grants and rewards for immunotherapy research in brain cancer provides lucrative growth opportunities to the market. In October 2023, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) awarded approximately USD 12 million to a researcher for a phase 1 clinical trial for assessing the safety of CAR-T cell immunotherapy for the most common type of malignant primary brain tumor in adults, glioblastoma multiforme. Such supportive initiatives have allowed the inclusion of additional trial participants for consideration in the research study. The standard approaches can provide symptomatic relief. However, they have a limited impact on improving the overall survival rate. Due to the rising provision of rewards, researchers can develop novel therapeutic solutions to improve survival rates and identify potential treatment alternatives for previously untreatable types of brain tumors.

North America to Hold Major Market Share

The rapid expansion of the market in the region is supported by the prominent presence of significant market players and increasing cases of brain cancer. According to the estimates of the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR), approximately 25,400 malignant tumors of the spinal cord and brain were diagnosed in 2024 in the United States. Additionally, the presence of a well-established healthcare system in countries such as the United States and Canada is also supporting the treatment, management, and diagnosis of complex conditions such as brain cancer. The presence of globally recognized clinics, hospitals, and treatment centers also ensures that patients have access to advanced diagnostic solutions and advanced diagnostic tools. Moreover, countries in North America are also allocating a significant portion of their healthcare budgets to the development and availability of advanced therapeutics to improve patient care. This increased spending allows for extensive research and development activities, propelling the availability of treatment options to enhance treatment outcomes for patients with brain cancer. Furthermore, the increasing efforts of government and private organizations to push awareness about brain cancer and treatment options available for the condition also provide lucrative growth opportunities to the market.

Future Market Scenario (2024 - 2031F)

The global brain cancer therapeutics market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to the rising cases of brain cancer and increasing investment by various governments towards the development of the healthcare industry. As per the predictions of the World Health Organization (WHO), in the European region, approximately 85,000 new cases and 70,000 deaths from central nervous system and brain cancer are expected to occur in 2030. Additionally, increasing research activities by researchers across the globe are likely to support the expansion of the global brain cancer therapeutics market. For instance, City of Hope Medical Center, United States, is conducting an interventional study to assess if standard dose dexamethasone and low dose dexamethasone work in the same manner for reducing brain swelling after patients with brain cancer or primary brain tumors have undergone brain surgery. The study is expected to conclude in September 2025. Furthermore, developing a supportive regulatory environment is expected to encourage pharma companies to expedite the development of novel therapeutic solutions for brain cancer.
