Glioblastoma Multiforme Market: Algorithm and Disease Understanding

Glioblastoma Multiforme Overview

Glioblastoma is the most frequently occurring type of primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) mostly in adults, and its poor prognosis has not been significantly improved despite the fact that the innovative diagnostic strategies and new therapies have been developed. Glioblastoma is often located in a region of the forebrain known as the cerebrum, which controls some of the most advanced process such as speech and emotions. The exact underlying cause of Glioblastoma is unknown. Some cases may develop from existing, low-grade astrocytomas (malignant transformation) or they may occur without any evidence of a previous tumor (de novo).

Glioblastoma Diagnosis

The diagnosis of Glioblastoma includes neurological exams (this exam tests vision, hearing, speech, strength, sensation, balance, coordination, reflexes and the ability to think and remember), angiograms, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT), surgical biopsy and others.

Glioblastoma Treatment

Treatment for Glioblastoma usually includes a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, stereotactic radiosurgery and Tumor treatment fields (TTF). Chemotherapy includes Carmustine (BCNU), Lomustine (CCNU), or Gleostine (Generic), Gliadel wafer (biodegradable discs infused with BCNU), Temozolomide (Temodar) Cisplatin, Carboplatin, Etoposide and Irinotecan. They may be given as a single agent or in combination i.e. PCV (Procarbazine, CCNU, and Vincristine), Carboplatin/ Etoposide. The drugs most commonly used to treat brain tumors are temozolomide (Temodar) and bevacizumab (Avastin).

Glioblastoma Marketed Drugs

Avastin: Genentech

Avastin (Bevacizumab) is a recombinant humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody, which acts as angiogenesis inhibitor by blocking its target, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Bevacizumab binds to the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with its receptor VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2, which are present on the surface of endothelial cells. In December 2017, the US FDA granted full approval of bevacizumab (Avastin) for the treatment of adults with recurrent Glioblastoma that has progressed following prior therapy.

Temodar/Temodal: Merck

The active pharmaceutical ingredient in Temodar/Temodal, is an imidazotetrazine derivative of the alkylating agent dacarbazine. Temozolomide is used for the treatment of several brain cancer forms, e.g., as a second-line treatment for astrocytoma and as a first-line treatment for Glioblastoma. The therapeutic benefit of temozolomide is due to its ability to alkylate/methylate DNA. In July 2006, the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) approved Temodal (R) (temozolomide) Capsules for the treatment of malignant glioma.

Glioblastoma Emerging Drugs

Ofranergene obadenovec (VB-111): VBL Therapeutics

Ofranergene obadenovec (VB-111) is a first-in-class, targeted anticancer gene-therapy agent that is being developed by VBL Therapeutics to treat a wide range of solid tumors such as Glioblastoma. It is a non-replicating adenovirus 5 (Ad-5, El-deleted) carrying a proapoptotic human Fas-chimera transgene that targets angiogenic blood vessels and leads to vascular disruption. The drug has been rewarded Orphan Drug Designation from both US FDA and EMA for the treatment of patients with Glioblastoma. In addition, it has also been granted Fast Track Designation by the US FDA for prolongation of survival in patients with rGlioblastoma. Currently, the drug has completed phase III stage of Glioblastoma clinical trials development for the patients with rGlioblastoma. In November 2017, VBL Therapeutics signed an exclusive license agreement with NanoCarrier for the development, commercialization, and supply of ofranergene obadenovec (VB-111) in Japan.

Trans Sodium Crocetinate: Diffusion Pharmaceuticals

Trans Sodium Crocetinate (TSC), being investigated by Diffusion Pharmaceuticals, is a first-in-class small molecule that, by its novel proprietary mechanism, safely reoxygenates oxygen-deprived tissue. It can act alone or with other treatments and presents opportunities in Glioblastoma unmet needs across several markets. It can be used to enhance the cancer-killing power of radiation and chemotherapy for treating patients with Glioblastoma.

Selinexor (KPT-330): Karyopharm Therapeutics

Selinexor (KPT-330) is a first-in-class, oral Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export/SINE compound in development by Karyopharm Therapeutics. It functions by binding with and inhibiting the nuclear export protein XPO1 (also called CRM1), leading to the accumulation of tumor suppressor proteins in the cell nucleus, which subsequently reinitiates and amplifies their tumor suppressor function; this is supposed to lead to the selective induction of apoptosis in cancer cells, while largely sparing normal cells. The drug has been approved with a brand name Xpovio for patients in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have received at least four prior therapies and whose disease is refractory to at least two proteasome inhibitors, at least two immunomodulatory agents, and an anti‐CD38 monoclonal antibody. The phase II (KING) study was terminated due to sponsor decision.

VBI-1901: VBI Vaccines

VBI-1901 is a cancer vaccine that VBI Vaccines has designed to treat Glioblastoma and medulloblastoma, which are two types of brain tumors. It is designed to kill Glioblastoma and medulloblastoma tumor cells infected with cytomegalovirus or CMV. While the immune system already targets cells infected by viruses, VBI-1901’s goal is to boost their immune response such viruses. CMV inside tumor cells generate proteins called viral antigens that travel to the cells’ surface. Currently, the vaccine is in phase I/II stage of clinical development for the patients with recurrent Glioblastoma and the company expects to initiate a randomized, controlled clinical study with registration potential in the fourth quarter of 2021. Recently, in June 2021, the company was granted Fast track designation by the FDA for VBI-1901 for the treatment of recurrent Glioblastoma.

ITI-1000 (pp65 DC Vaccine): Immunomic Therapeutics

Immunomic Therapeutics (ITI) is developing ITI-1000 (pp65 DC vaccine), which is a cancer cell vaccine consisting of autologous dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with mRNA encoding the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) matrix protein pp65 as a fusion protein with the short lysosome-associated membrane protein (shLAMP), with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. ITI-1000 is currently being investigated in a phase II ATTAC-II trial for Glioblastoma Multiforme, Glioblastoma, Malignant Glioma, Astrocytoma, Grade IV, and Glioblastoma and is funded by the National Cancer Institute.

Note: Detailed emerging therapies assessment will be provided in the final report.

Glioblastoma Market Outlook

Glioblastoma treatment 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 glioblastoma 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.

The first step in treating glioblastoma is a surgical procedure to make a diagnosis, to relieve pressure on the brain, and to remove as much tumor as possible safely. Glioblastoma surgery is performed to achieve a “maximum safe resection,” or removing as much of the tumor as possible without causing lasting neurological damage.

It is interesting to note that the emerging market of Glioblastoma includes budding gene therapy, i.e., Ofranergene obadenovec (VB-111) by VBL Therapeutics, followed by four vaccine/immunotherapy candidates such as VBI-1901, AV-Glioblastoma-1 and ITI-1000 (pp65 DC Vaccine), Tasadenoturev (DNX-2401) by VBI Vaccines, Aivita Biomedical, Immunomic Therapeutics, and DNAtrix, respectively.

The Glioblastoma pipeline possessed multiple potential drugs in late- and mid-stage developments to be launched shortly. Glioblastoma companies involved in robust research and development include Paxalisib (GDC-0084): Kazia Therapeutics, LAM561: Laminar Pharmaceuticals, Tasa-denoturev (DNX-2401): DNAtrix and, others are some of the major players that are going to alter the market dynamics in the coming years.
