Pediatric Brain Tumors Disease Treatment Market: Algorithm

The DelveInsight’s Pediatric Brain Tumors market report gives a thorough understanding of Pediatric Brain Tumors by including details such as disease definition, symptoms, causes, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the second most common childhood malignancy and the most common solid tumor in children. Little is known regarding the pathogenesis of most brain tumors in children. There are genetic syndromes that can predispose patients to getting brain tumors, such as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), tuberous sclerosis, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and other less common inherited conditions, such as Gorlin syndrome or Turcot syndrome. 

Symptoms of Pediatric Brain Tumors vary depending on size and location of tumor and can occur a bit differently in each child. Growing tumors may cause increased pressure on the brain in the limited space in the skull. This is called increased intracranial pressure or ICP. This is not usually the case in babies, since their skull bones have not fully grown together. The most common symptoms include, headache, nausea, and seizures.

Pediatric Brain Tumors Diagnosis

The first and foremost step in evaluating Pediatric Brain Tumors is obtaining a comprehensive medical history and physical examination of the child. Examination procedures for a brain tumor may include neurological exam, CT, PET or MRI scan, X-ray, angiogram, myelogram and lumbar puncture.

Pediatric Brain Tumors Treatment

Combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are mainly used for the treatment of Pediatric Brain Tumors. Treatments that are fairly well-tolerated by the adult brain (such as radiation therapy) may prevent normal development of a child’s brain, especially in children younger than age five.

Pediatric Brain Tumors Marketed Drugs

• AFINITOR (everolimus): Abbott

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved everolimus tablets for oral suspension (AFINITOR DISPERZ) as a new pediatric dosage form of everolimus (AFINITOR). It is used to treat patients with sub ependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA), a rare brain tumor that cannot be treated with surgery. However, it is currently in development for other recurrent, progressive low-grade gliomas like pilocytic astrocytoma and pediatric progressive low-grade gliomas in children.

Pediatric Brain Tumors Emerging Drugs

• Everolimus (RAD001) is an orally administered drug, being developed by Novartis, that works by interrupting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR cell-signaling pathway that is overactive in certain tumors. The drug inhibits explicitly mTOR, a protein that may help many tumors grow, thereby stopping the hyperactivation. It binds to an intracellular protein, FKBP-12, resulting in an inhibitory complex formation with mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and thus inhibition of mTOR kinase activity. The drug has already been approved as an anti-cancer agent for other tumor types and is currently being investigated to treat low-grade gliomas.
• Ad-RTS-hIL-12 + veledimex is a gene therapy, being developed by Ziopharm, for recurrent GBM (rGBM). Ad-RTS-hIL-12 is an adenoviral vector administered via a single injection into the tumor and engineered to express hIL-12, a powerful cytokine that has demonstrated the potential to stimulate a targeted, anti-tumor immune response. The expression of hIL-12 is controlled and modulated with the RheoSwitch Therapeutic System (RTS) by the small molecule veledimex, an activator ligand which has been shown to cross the blood brain barrier.
• Laminar Pharmaceuticals’ LP561A1 is the first-in-class anticancer drug acting through cell membrane lipid modification. LP561A1 is an orally bioavailable synthetic derivative of oleic acid that crosses the Blood Brain Barrier and activates SMS1 expression with Ras signalling modulator effects, a key enzyme that regulates phospholipid, particularly sphingolipid, concentrations at the plasma membrane.
• ONC201 is a highly selective antagonist of dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) and ClpP agonist that is able to penetrate the blood-brain-barrier effectively. ONC201 engages proven anti-cancer pathways that lead to apoptosis in cancer cells.
• CLR-131 being developed by Cellectar Biosciences is a small-molecule, cancer-targeting radiotherapeutic PDC designed to deliver cytotoxic radiation directly and selectively to cancer cells and cancer stem cells.
• Moleculin Biotech is developing WP1066 (AflacST1901), an immune/transcription modulator capable of inhibiting p-STAT3 and other oncogenic transcription factors while also stimulating a natural immune response, targeting brain tumors, pancreatic cancer and hematologic malignancies. WP1066 is designed to target the STAT3 pathway in cancer cells, which makes these cells divide, increases new blood vessels to the tumor, causes the cancer cells to move throughout the body and brain, and avoids them being detected by the immune system. Targeting this pathway may cause the immune system to kill the cancer cells.

Pediatric Brain Tumors Market Outlook

Low-grade gliomas comprise several subgroups, including pilocytic, pilomyxoid, subependymal giant cell, and diffuse astrocytomas. Two cancer-predisposition syndromes, Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and tuberous sclerosis complex, are associated with an increased frequency of pilocytic astrocytomas and subependymal giant cell astrocytomas, respectively. Extensive resection is the treatment goal for superficial lesions within the cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres. After complete resection, RT or chemotherapy is rarely warranted.

Unfortunately, complete resection is not usually feasible for deep-seated, infiltrative tumors, such as those involving the hypothalamus and optic pathways, which have a worse prognosis than superficial lesions. The management of such tumors is made even more challenging by their often large size and frequent occurrence in young children, increasing the risks of adverse late effects from RT. Accordingly, conventional chemotherapy has been used during the last 2 decades to delay or avoid RT in young children.

Medulloblastomas are the most common malignant brain tumors in children. Overall, the outcome of children older than 3 years with medulloblastoma has improved significantly in the past 40 years with the use of craniospinal RT and multi-agent chemotherapy following an extensive resection. Unfortunately, surviving children experience a myriad of long-term debilitating sequelae associated with therapy. Although a subset of patients younger than 3 years at diagnosis, specifically those with nodular/desmoplastic tumors, have a good prognosis when treated with multi-agent chemotherapy combined with intrathecal methotrexate but no RT, the remaining patients, including those with the classic or large cell/anaplastic variants and/or metastatic disease, continue to experience poor outcomes despite the use of intensive therapies.

Malignant (high-grade) gliomas, such as anaplastic astrocytomas (WHO grade III) and glioblastomas (WHO grade IV), have a poor prognosis in children, as they do in adults. Unfortunately, progress in the management of these tumors has been frustratingly slow. Although the addition of nitrosourea-based chemotherapy to postoperative RT was shown more than 20 years ago to increase survival rates for patients with HGG compared to rates following treatment with RT alone, subsequent studies with different regimens have failed to further improve outcome. Two clinical factors most consistently associated with prognosis are extent of resection and tumor histology, with grade IV lesions having worse outcomes than grade III tumors and with lesions not amenable to extensive resection having a dismal prognosis. Levels of expression of methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase, which confers resistance to alkylating chemotherapy, have also been adversely associated with outcome in some studies.

The Pediatric Brain Tumors Market Dynamics is anticipated to change in the coming years owing to the improvement in the rise in number of healthcare spending across the world. Currently, there are several potential players with their promising therapies in the early and mid-stages of Pediatric Brain Tumors clinical trials development. There is an unmet clinical need for a therapeutic treatment that addresses the root cause of Pediatric Brain Tumors. Key players, such as Laminar Pharmaceuticals, Cellectar Biosciences, Oncoceutics, Novartis, Ziopharm, Moleculin Biotech, Candel Therapeutics, Celgene, Kazia Therapeutics, and others, are involved in developing drugs for the Pediatric Brain Tumors.
