Paediatric gliomas represent the most common brain tumors in children, making up roughly 50% of all pediatric CNS tumors. They are typically classified as:
• Low-grade gliomas (LGG) - generally curable with surgery or radiotherapy
• High-grade gliomas (HGG) - aggressive and often fatal despite interventions
Treatment regimens currently include:
• Chemotherapy (temozolomide, carboplatin)
• Targeted therapy (BRAF/MEK inhibitors)
• Radiotherapy
• Emerging immunotherapy and gene therapy agents
However, the heterogeneity of tumors and treatment resistance remain major challenges.

Key Market Drivers
a) Rising Incidence of Pediatric Brain Tumors
Childhood brain tumors are rising in incidence globally due to better diagnostics, increased awareness, and expanded access to MRI and molecular profiling.
b) Precision Oncology Advancements
The rise of tumor sequencing, mutation profiling, and biomarker-based targeting is pushing forward more personalized glioma therapies in pediatric patients.
c) Clinical Trials and Orphan Drug Incentives
Paediatric gliomas fall under orphan disease categories, enabling companies to receive regulatory incentives, grants, and faster review pathways.
d) Growing Global Collaborations
Organizations such as the International DIPG Registry and Children's Brain Tumor Network are boosting clinical research momentum and therapy development.

Key Restraints and Challenges
a) Lack of Approved Drugs for High-Grade Gliomas
For high-grade gliomas, especially DIPG, there are no FDA-approved targeted therapies, and clinical trial options are limited.
b) Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) Complications
The BBB significantly restricts drug delivery to brain tissues, complicating systemic treatment efficacy in children.
c) Ethical and Enrollment Hurdles in Pediatric Trials
Enrolling pediatric patients in early-stage oncology trials is ethically complex, and sample sizes are often limited.
d) Post-Treatment Cognitive Effects
Long-term survivors often experience neurodevelopmental issues from radiation or surgery, complicating long-term therapy planning.

Opportunities & Trends
a) BRAF/MEK Inhibitor Expansion
For BRAF-mutant low-grade gliomas, drugs like dabrafenib and trametinib are showing excellent tolerability and efficacy, with increasing first-line use.
b) Immunotherapy Trials
Checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies are being tested in H3K27M-mutant high-grade gliomas.
c) Liquid Biopsies for Monitoring
Emerging interest in CSF and plasma-based biomarkers to monitor glioma recurrence and treatment response with minimal invasiveness.
d) AI-Driven Drug Repurposing
AI is being used to identify non-oncology drugs that could be repositioned to target key glioma pathways in pediatric patients.

Market Segmentation
By Tumor Grade:
• Low-Grade Gliomas (LGG)
• High-Grade Gliomas (HGG)
Low-grade gliomas are the most common and generally treatable. HGG, particularly DIPG, are associated with the highest mortality.

By Drug Class:
• Chemotherapy Agents (Temozolomide, Carboplatin)
• Targeted Therapy (BRAF/MEK inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors)
• Immunotherapy (Checkpoint Inhibitors)
• Adjunctive Treatments (Steroids, Anticonvulsants)

By Route of Administration:
• Oral
• Intravenous (IV)
• Intrathecal
IV remains dominant, but oral therapies like BRAF/MEK inhibitors are expanding due to better tolerance.

By End-User:
• Children's Hospitals
• Pediatric Oncology Centers
• Academic & Research Institutions
• Homecare (for maintenance dosing)
