Market Outlook

Brain tumors are solid tumors arising from transformed cells of the brain. These tumors can be of low grade (Grade I and II) or high grade (Grade III and IV). Of these, high grade tumours tend to grow rapidly and spread faster than tumors of a lower grade.

Though there are several subtypes of these tumours, the publisher has only considered the most common ones for which certain pipeline therapies are being investigated.

Brain tumors, specifically HGGs, are very difficult tumors to treat due to the problems in completely removing the tumor and their resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. As there is no ideal treatment, it is quite challenging as some cells may respond well to certain therapies, while others may not be affected at all. Because of this, the treatment plan for the indication may combine several approaches.

The treatment often comprises a combination of several therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or stereotactic radiosurgery followed by the additional/adjuvant treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, after surgery. Treatment is palliative and may include surgery, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. The best treatment options for each person depends on many factors like the size and location of the tumor, the extent to which the tumor has grown into the surrounding normal brain tissues, and the affected person's age and overall health.

Other than these current therapies, the brain tumor pipeline is robust and possesses multiple potential drugs in late and mid-stage developments, which have yet to be launched. The pipeline involves drugs with a varied mechanism of action along with different routes of administration, ranging from oral, intravenous, intratumoral, subcutaneous, etc. It is interesting to note that the emerging market of brain tumor includes budding gene therapies, i.e., Ofranergene obadenovec (VBL Therapeutics) and Ad-RTS-hIL-12 in combination with Veledimex (Ziopharm) along with four vaccine/immunotherapy candidates such as VBI-1901, AV-GBM-1 and ITI-1000 (pp65 DC Vaccine), Tasadenoturev (DNX-2401) by VBI Vaccines, Aivita Biomedical, Immunomic Therapeutics, and DNAtrix, respectively.

The potential candidates with promising results in late- or phase III stage of clinical development include Ofranergene obadenovec (VB-111; VBL Therapeutics), Trans Sodium Crocetinate (Diffusion Pharmaceuticals), Eflornithine (Orbus Therapeutics) and Regorafenib (Bayer). Out of these, Orbus therapeutics' Eflornithine is the only therapy being investigated solely for recurrent anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) while a majority of therapies in the pipeline are being investigated for GBM.

Followed by the late-stage products, a wide array of mid-stage or phase II promising interventions are expected to be launched in the near future in the market which include Durvalumab (MEDI4736; MedImmune), Tasadenoturev (DNX-2401; DNAtrix), ONC201 (Oncoceutics), Selinexor (KPT-330; Karyopharm Therapeutics), VBI-1901 (VBI Vaccines), Paxalisib (GDC-0084; Kazia Therapeutics), AV-GBM-1 (Aivita Biomedical), MDNA55 (Medicenna Therapeutics), VAL-083 (Dianhydrogalactitol; DelMar Pharmaceuticals), ITI-1000 (pp65 DC Vaccine; Immunomic Therapeutics), Everolimus (Novartis), Ad-RTS-hIL-12 in combination with Veledimex (Ziopharm) and INO-5401 + INO-9012 + Cemiplimab (REGN2810; Inovio Pharmaceuticals).

Analyst's Comments

• The marketed drugs for HGG include Avastin (Genentech) and Temodar/Temodal (Merck). However, due to patent expiry, the market holds the generic version of both the drugs. This creates a huge competition among the generic version of these drugs and the emerging therapies due to the fact that generics are more cost-effective for the patients than a novel therapy. Additionally, due to limited knowledge about the overall survival benefit of bevacizumab, it is not indicated in unselected patients with newly diagnosed GBM.
• There have been substantial advances in understanding of the molecular aberrations found in malignant gliomas. These key discoveries include the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation, codeletion of the short arm of chromosome 1 and long arm of chromosome 19 (1p19q), O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene promoter methylation and histone H3-K27M mutation.
• Currently, both Grade III and Grade IV HGGs follow similar treatment regimens due to lack of research and developmental activities about Grade III tumours. Therefore, moving further, there is a need for development of therapies specific for anaplastic form of tumors.
