Glioblastoma Multiforme: Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2030

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is now defined by the WHO 2021 as a diffuse astrocytic glioma with no mutations in IDH genes or histone H3 genes. It is the most common primary brain tumor in humans. Like other astrocytomas, GBM originates from astrocytes, a type of glial cells that are non-neuronal and function to provide structural and biochemical support to the brain’s neuronal network. GBM continues to be a disease with some of the highest unmet needs in oncology, with patients having a median overall survival (OS) of between one and two years. The lack of therapies is primarily due to the inability of drugs to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
The market of GBM relies predominantly on temozolomide and bevacizumab, which accounted for 46% and 51%, respectively, of the total $549.1M sales in 2020. For this market to witness true growth, the currently marketed products would need to be almost entirely replaced by new pipeline products, owing to the significant presence of generic temozolomide and the introduction of bevacizumab biosimilars. However, a high failure rate has been historically observed for late-stage GBM trials and may impact the pipeline forecast and impede the market growth. Nevertheless, eight pipeline agents are expected to enter the 8MM and drive the GBM growth to $868.5M by 2030 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.7%.

KEY QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Eight Phase II-III pipeline agents are expected to enter the Glioblastoma market from 2024 onwards. What impact will these agents have on the market? Which of these drugs will have the highest peak sales, and why?
What are the current unmet needs in GBM, which pipeline agents are positioned to counter these unmet needs? What are the opportunities for R&D?
What are the current research and development (R&D) strategies being explored and how can developers incorporate these methods into their business strategy?
What is the expected future uptake of protein kinase inhibitors across the 8MM?

Scope

Overview of Glioblastoma Multiforme including epidemiology, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment guidelines.

Topline Glioblastoma Multiforme market revenue, annual cost of therapy, and major pipeline product sales in the forecast period.

Key topics covered include current treatment and pipeline therapies, unmet needs and opportunities, and the drivers and barriers affecting Glioblastoma Multiforme therapeutics sales in the 8MM.

Pipeline analysis: Comprehensive data split across different phases, emerging novel trends under development, and detailed analysis of late-stage pipeline drugs (Phase II – III).

Analysis of the current and future market competition in the global Glioblastoma Multiforme therapeutics market. Insightful review of the key industry drivers and challenges. Each trend is independently researched to provide qualitative analysis of its implications.

Key Highlights

The main drivers of growth include the anticipated approval and launch of eight pipeline agents during the forecast period, of which cancer vaccines and protein kinase inhibitors are the dominating classes.

The primary barrier to growth in the forecast period will be the high failure rates historically observed for Phase III GBM trials, impacting the pipeline forecast. The high genericization of temozolomide and recent patent expiration of Avastin, leading to biosimilar entry, also reduces the Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) market potential.

DCVax-L, regorafenib, and paxalisib are the three pipeline agents expected to generate the highest sales for GBM from 2020-2030.

Aside from improving OS, other key unmet needs in the GBM market include; Predictive biomarkers to guide personalized therapy and the need to find more efficacious treatment in O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) unmethylated patients who typically have a poor response to temozolomide.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
