Anaplastic Astrocytoma Treatment Market: Regional Analysis

North America is expected to account for major share in global anaplastic astrocytoma treatment market, owing to higher awareness about rare diseases such as anaplastic astrocytoma, and also, presence of leading clinical-stage companies in the region. For instance, a study sponsored by Burzynski Research Institute, headquartered at Texas, U.S., is testing antineoplaston therapy (atengenal + astugenal) in clinical trials. The study is currently in phase 2 clinical trials. Furthermore, a clinical trial sponsored by Northwell Health in collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (subsidiary of Roche AG) is testing safety and efficacy of Erlotinib for anaplastic astrocytoma. The study is currently in Phase 1/2. Approval of these pipeline products over the forecast period would boost growth of North America anaplastic astrocytoma treatment market.

Moreover, the approval of generics for temozolomide will play a vital role in increasing adoption of drug, especially in emerging economies in regions such as Asia Pacific and Latin America. In 2016, FDA approved the Amerigen Pharmaceuticals Limited’s generic version of Temodar. The company’s main facility is in Jiangsu Province, China. Leading global generic players such as Mylan N.V. has also received approval for generic version of Temodar in July 2016. The entry of generic drugs is expected to support growth of the anaplastic astrocytoma treatment market.
