NRG1 fusions are rare but actionable oncogenic drivers found in a variety of cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pancreatic adenocarcinoma, breast cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and others. These fusions activate HER3/HER2 signaling, leading to uncontrolled tumor growth-making HER3-targeted inhibition a major therapeutic frontier.

Key Market Highlights
• 2024 Market Size: USD 128 million
• 2034 Forecast: USD 346 million
• CAGR (2025-2034): 10.4%
• Largest Segment: HER3-targeted therapies
• Fastest-Growing Segment: NGS companion diagnostics & precision oncology platforms

Epidemiology & Clinical Insights
1. Prevalence
NRG1 fusions occur in approximately:
• 0.3% of solid tumors,
• 1-2% of KRAS-wild-type pancreatic cancers,
• 0.2-0.5% of NSCLC, particularly in never-smokers.
Despite being rare, they represent a high-value precision oncology segment because targeted therapies produce meaningful clinical responses.
2. Tumor Types Affected
NRG1 fusions appear across multiple cancers:
• Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
• Pancreatic adenocarcinoma
• Breast cancer
• Ovarian cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Cholangiocarcinoma
• Colorectal cancer
3. Molecular Characteristics
NRG1 fusions:
• Activate HER3 (ERBB3) receptors
• Form heterodimers with HER2 or EGFR
• Drive tumor proliferation and survival
Advanced genomic profiling (RNA sequencing, hybrid capture) is now essential for detection.

Market Growth Drivers
1. Rising Adoption of NGS & Comprehensive Genomic Profiling
More cancer centers integrate fusion testing as part of standard oncology workflows.
2. Strong Pipeline of HER3-Targeted Therapies
Companies are developing monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, and pan-ERBB inhibitors.
3. Increasing Recognition of NRG1 as an Actionable Driver
Growing awareness among oncologists improves diagnosis and therapeutic targeting.
4. Basket & Umbrella Clinical Trials
Tumor-agnostic trial designs accelerate development and approval pathways.
5. Expansion of Precision Oncology Reimbursement
Governments and insurers increasingly support NGS testing.

Market Restraints
• Extremely low prevalence limits large trials
• High cost of targeted therapies
• Inconsistent access to advanced sequencing in emerging regions
• Heterogeneity in fusion partners complicates diagnostic workflows

Market Opportunities
1. HER3 Inhibitors & Bispecific Antibodies
Novel agents designed specifically for NRG1-fusion-positive tumors.
2. Tumor-Agnostic Regulatory Approvals
NRG1 fusion therapies may receive approvals similar to NTRK and RET inhibitors.
3. AI-Driven Biomarker Detection
Machine-learning models enhance identification of rare fusions.
4. Liquid Biopsy Expansion
ctDNA-based testing supports early diagnosis and therapy monitoring.
5. Personalized Combination Therapy
HER3 inhibitors combined with:
• HER2 inhibitors
• MEK inhibitors
• Immune checkpoint inhibitors
