The global leiomyosarcoma drug market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). Leiomyosarcoma is rare cancer that starts in the smooth muscle tissue of the body. Smooth muscle tissue can be found throughout the body, including the digestive system, urinary system, blood arteries, and uterus. The most common site of leiomyosarcoma is the abdomen or uterus. It begins as a proliferation of aberrant cells that quickly spreads to infect and destroy normal body tissue. Leiomyosarcoma signs and symptoms vary depending on where cancer begins. Pain, weight loss, and a developing lump or swelling that may be felt through the skin are all possible symptoms. Soft tissue sarcoma is a large category of tumors that arise in the tissues that link, support, and surround other body structures. A leiomyosarcoma is a form of soft tissue sarcoma. The chemotherapeutic drugs Adriamycin (Doxorubicin) and ifosfamide are presently used to treat leiomyosarcoma. Some people benefit from them, however, not everyone.

The increasing clinical trials associated with the leiomyosarcoma drugs is contributing to the growth of the market. As per the study conducted by Eli Lilly and MSK in 2016, Olaratumab is a targeted antibody medication that binds to and inhibits the PDGF-alpha receptor, which is present on the surface of cancer cells and in the tumor microenvironment (the area surrounding the tumor). Leiomyosarcoma was the most prevalent subtype seen in the study. In this ailment, the drug appeared to function exceptionally well. It was also remarkable that effectively it worked in people who had already tried other treatments. However, Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of olaratumab (Lartruvo), announced the drug's withdrawal from the market on April 25, 2019. This decision was made after the medicine failed to enhance survival in persons with soft tissue sarcoma in a phase III clinical trial. The business announced that it was launching a programme to ensure that patients who have benefited from the medicine can continue to use it.

The market players are contributing significantly to the growth of the market by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, geographical expansion, partnerships and collaborations, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, the first new anticancer treatments approved by the FDA in 2020 are for the treatment of two kinds of soft tissue sarcoma. The FDA authorized avapritinib (Ayvakit) for the treatment of certain patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) on January 9, 2020, and tazemetostat (Tazverik) for the treatment of certain patients with epithelioid sarcoma on January 23, 2020.
