주요 7개국 저등급 신경교종(LGG)의 시장 규모 및 전망
수치는 보고서 갱신이나 임상 정보 갱신 등에 따라 변경될 수 있습니다.
저등급 신경교종(LGG) 시장 보고서는 표준 치료, 임상 실무, 진화하는 치료 알고리즘 등 현재 시장 상황에 대한 종합적인 분석을 제공합니다. 본 보고서에서는 LGG 환자의 부담 추이, 수익 및 시장 점유율 추이, 피크 시기의 환자 점유율 및 치료 도입 현황에 대한 분석을 평가함과 동시에, 전 세계 각 지역의 시장 규모에 대한 상세한 평가 및 성장률 예측(과거 데이터 및 2022-2036년 예측)을 제공합니다. 본 보고서는 저등급 신경교종(LGG) 분야에서 주요 미충족 의료 수요를 부각시키고, 경쟁 구도와 임상 환경을 분석함으로써 고부가가치 기회를 도출하며, 향후 시장 성장 가능성에 대한 명확한 전망을 제시하고 있습니다.
LGG 발병률의 증가
저등급 신경교종(LGG)의 전체 발생률은 특히 젊은 층과 소아에서 서서히 증가하고 있으며, 이것이 LGG 시장의 확장을 이끄는 주요 요인이 되고 있습니다. 미국에서는 2025년에 약 9,400건의 LGG 신규 사례가 보고될 것으로 예상되며, 2036년까지 그 수가 더욱 증가할 것으로 전망됩니다.
LGG에서의 기회 확대
LGG 치료 분야의 새로운 기회는 새로운 작용 기전(MoA), 특히 IDH 억제제, BRAF/MEK 억제제, 그리고 특정 유전자 변이를 표적으로 하는 분자 표적 치료에 의해 주도되고 있습니다. 또한, 면역요법, 후성유전학적 조절제 및 병용요법에 대한 연구의 진전으로 인해, 기존의 접근법을 뛰어넘는 치료 선택지가 점차 확대되고 있습니다.
저등급 신경교종(LGG)의 개요 및 진단
LGG는 WHO 2등급으로 분류되는 성장 속도가 느린 원발성 뇌종양 그룹으로, 일반적으로 젊은 층, 특히 인생의 전성기를 맞이한 사람들에게 발병합니다. 이러한 종양은 고악성도 신경교종에 비해 비교적 양호한 예후를 기대할 수 있으며, 특히 IDH1/IDH2 돌연변이와 경우에 따라 BRAF 돌연변이와 같은 주요 분자적 돌연변이를 특징으로 합니다. 서서히 진행되는 경향을 보임에도 불구하고, LGG는 이질성이 높아 시간이 지남에 따라 진행되거나 재발할 가능성이 있으며, 그 결과 임상적 예후에 차이가 나타납니다.
저등급 신경교종(LGG)의 진단
LGG 진단에는 영상 검사, 조직병리학적 검사 및 분자 검사를 종합적으로 실시합니다. MRI가 권장되는 검사 방법이며, LGG는 일반적으로 T1 강조 영상에서 저신호를, T2 강조 영상 및 FLAIR 강조 영상에서 고신호를 보이며, 조영제에 의한 신호 증강은 극히 미미하거나 반점 형태로 나타납니다. CT 촬영에서는 특히 올리고덴드로글리오마의 경우, 저밀도 병변이나 때때로 석회화가 관찰될 수 있습니다. MRS나 PET와 같은 첨단 영상 진단 기술도 평가에 도움이 되지만, 진단 및 병기 분류에 있어서는 여전히 조직병리학적 검사가 표준으로 간주됩니다. IDH 돌연변이 및 1p/19q 공동 결실과 같은 분자 표지자는 정확한 분류에 필수적입니다.
저등급 신경교종(LGG)의 치료
LGG 치료에는 종양의 특성과 환자의 상황에 맞춘 다각적인 접근법이 사용됩니다. 종양 부하를 줄이고 진단용 조직을 채취하기 위한 일차 치료법은, 안전 범위 내에서 가능한 한 최대한의 외과적 절제술입니다. 특정 증례, 특히 무증상 환자의 경우, 적극적인 경과 관찰(워치 앤 웨이트)을 고려할 수 있습니다. 진행성 사례나 고위험 사례에서는 종양의 증식을 억제하기 위해 방사선 치료가 시행됩니다. 고위험군 환자의 경우, 테모졸로미드나 PCV 요법 등의 항암요법이 병용되는 경우가 많습니다. 또한, 분자 변이를 바탕으로 표적 치료제(IDH 억제제나 BRAF 억제제 등)가 치료 계획에 포함되는 사례도 늘어나고 있습니다.
저등급 신경교종(LGG)의 역학 분석 및 예후에 관한 주요 연구 결과
LGG 시장은 세계보건기구(WHO)의 분류 체계 발전과 치료 방침 결정에 기여하는 분자 프로파일링(예 : 1p/19q 공동 결실)에 대한 중요성이 커짐에 따라 변화하고 있습니다. 표준 치료에는 수술, 방사선 치료, 화학요법이 포함되며, 생존 기간 연장을 위해 테모졸로미드나 PCV 요법이 널리 사용되고 있지만, 이러한 치료법은 근치적이지 않을 뿐만 아니라 장기적인 독성을 동반합니다.
치료의 흐름은 특정 유전자 변이를 표적으로 하는 분자 표적 치료로 전환되고 있습니다. 사프시데닙(IDH1 억제제), 밀다메티닙(MEK 억제제), 토보라페닙(OJEMDA) 등의 신약은 질병을 더 효과적으로 제어하고 진행을 늦추는 동시에, 방사선 치료에 대한 의존도를 낮출 가능성이 기대되고 있습니다.
LGG 시장은 진단 기술의 발전, 맞춤형 의료의 확산, 그리고 탄탄한 파이프라인에 힘입어 꾸준한 성장이 예상됩니다. 그러나 악성 전환 지연, 치료 순서의 최적화, 인지 기능 장애 및 장기적인 치료 관련 부작용의 최소화 등 여전히 해결되지 않은 중요한 요구 사항들이 남아 있습니다.
전반적으로, 동종 최초의 치료법 등장, 진단 기법의 발전, 그리고 질병에 대한 인식 제고에 힘입어 2022년부터 2036년까지 주요 7개국 규모의 LGG 시장은 꾸준한 성장을 이룰 것으로 예상되며, 이는 시판 제품과 신약 파이프라인 모두에 큰 상업적 영향을 미칠 것으로 전망됩니다.

Key Factors Driving the Low Grade Glioma (LGG) Market
Rising LGG Incidence
The overall incidence of low-grade glioma (LGG) is gradually increasing, particularly among younger populations and children, acting as a key driver of the LGG market expansion. In the United States, there were approximately 9,400 incident cases of LGG in 2025, which are projected to increase further by 2036.
Rising Opportunities in LGG
Emerging opportunities in LGG treatment are driven by novel mechanisms of action (MoA), particularly IDH inhibitors, BRAF/MEK inhibitors, and targeted molecular therapies addressing specific genetic alterations. Additionally, growing research into immunotherapy, epigenetic modulators, and combination strategies is expanding the therapeutic landscape beyond conventional approaches.
Emerging LGG Competitive Landscape
Safusidenib, mirdametinib, and other emerging targeted therapies are shaping the evolving competitive landscape in LGG.
Low Grade Glioma (LGG) Overview and Diagnosis
LGG is a group of slow-growing primary brain tumors classified as WHO Grade II that typically affect younger individuals, often in the prime of life. These tumors are associated with a relatively favorable prognosis compared to high-grade gliomas and are characterized by key molecular alterations, particularly IDH1/IDH2 mutations and sometimes BRAF mutations. Despite their indolent nature, LGGs are heterogeneous and can progress or recur over time, leading to variable clinical outcomes.
Low Grade Glioma (LGG) Diagnosis
Diagnosis of LGG involves a combination of imaging, histopathology, and molecular testing. MRI is the preferred modality, where LGGs typically appear T1 hypointense and T2/FLAIR hyperintense, with minimal or patchy contrast enhancement. CT scans may show low-density lesions with occasional calcifications, especially in oligodendrogliomas. While advanced imaging techniques like MRS and PET can support evaluation, histopathological examination remains the gold standard for diagnosis and grading. Molecular markers such as IDH mutation and 1p/19q codeletion are essential for accurate classification.
Low Grade Glioma (LGG) Treatment
Treatment of LGG involves a multimodal approach tailored to tumor characteristics and patient factors. Maximal safe surgical resection is the primary treatment to reduce tumor burden and obtain tissue for diagnosis. In selected cases, especially asymptomatic patients, active surveillance (watch-and-wait) may be considered. Radiotherapy is used for progressive or high-risk disease to control tumor growth. Chemotherapy, such as temozolomide or PCV regimen, is often added in higher-risk patients. Increasingly, targeted therapies (e.g., IDH and BRAF inhibitors) are being incorporated based on molecular alterations.

The section "unmet needs of Low Grade Glioma (LGG)" outlines the critical gaps between the current state of patient care, diagnosis, and the ideal & effective management of the disease. It highlights the obstacles experienced by patients, clinicians, and researchers and identifies potential solutions for future progress.

OJEMDA can shrink tumors. It is a clinically proven oral targeted therapy for children as young as 6 months living with pLGG that's returned or is unresponsive to current treatment caused by an abnormal BRAF gene. Once-a-week OJEMDA is available in both tablet and liquid form. It can be taken conveniently at home, or where your family is most comfortable.
Vorasidenib (VORANIGO): Servier Pharmaceutical
VORANIGO (40 mg tablets) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older with certain types of brain tumors called astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) or isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation, following surgery. Your healthcare provider will perform a test to make sure that VORANIGO is right for you. It is not known if VORANIGO is safe and effective in children under 12 years of age.
Low Grade Glioma (LGG) Pipeline Analysis
Safusidenib: Nuvation Bio
Safusidenib is a novel, oral, potent, brain-penetrant, selective inhibitor of mutant IDH1. In Phase I and Phase II clinical studies, safusidenib delayed disease progression and provided durable responses across grades and risk groups with a favorable risk-benefit profile. The drug is currently being evaluated in the ongoing Phase III (SIGMA) study for the maintenance treatment of patients with IDH1-mutant astrocytoma who have high-risk features following standard-of-care.
SIGMA is a pivotal Phase III study that will evaluate safusidenib compared to placebo as a maintenance therapy after standard-of-care in IDH1-mutant astrocytoma with high-risk features. The pivotal portion of the study will enroll approximately 300 patients. The data is anticipated to be available in 2029.
Mirdametinib: Springworks Therapeutics
Mirdametinib was designed to inhibit MEK1 and MEK2, which occupy pivotal positions in the MAPK pathway. The MAPK pathway is a key signaling network that regulates cell growth and survival and plays a central role in multiple cancers and rare diseases when dysregulated. Mirdametinib is an investigational agent whose safety and efficacy have not been demonstrated. In the middle of 2021, the company initiated a Phase I/II clinical trial, which St. Jude Children's Research Hospital sponsored, to evaluate mirdametinib in patients with LGG.
