Extended Application of Acetazolamide in Various Treatment Modalities is expected to Drive Market Growth during the Forecast Period

Researchers at the University of Chicago investigated acetazolamide, and published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, July 2018, stating that, altitude sickness drug, acetazolamide, helps to overcome resistance to chemotherapy drug temozolomide (TMZ). TMZ is frequently used in the treatment of gliomas, but some patients do not respond to the treatment. With the addition of acetazolamide, researchers identified an improvement in survival rates, in pre-clinical models of glioma. According to this study, acetazolamide when taken with TMZ, resulted in 30 to 40 percent increase in survival in animal models. Application of acetazolamide could be used as an alternative treatment solution for reducing resistance to chemotherapy in the treatment of gliomas, which offer lucrative growth opportunities for the drug in the market in the near future.
