Ewing Sarcoma Market Summary
In 2023, the US held the largest share (53%) of the Ewing sarcoma treatment market across the 7MM. Ewing sarcoma primarily affects individuals under 20, making molecular-targeted therapies with fewer long-term toxicities highly desirable. Current treatment largely relies on chemotherapy and local therapy (surgery or radiation), with the VDC/IE regimen improving survival. However, metastatic cases still face poor outcomes, driving the need for novel therapeutics. The 5-year survival rate is 70–80% for localized disease but only 30–40% for metastatic cases. The updated NCCN guidelines (v2.2023) added lurbinectedin as a second-line option for relapsed or metastatic disease, though no approved therapies exist, leaving room for significant market opportunities. Development efforts are led by companies like Salarius, Jazz, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and others, with focus on second-line and beyond. However, challenges such as off-label therapy use and clinical trial setbacks, including Salarius halting seclidemstat trials in 2023, remain.

Ewing Sarcoma Overview
Ewing sarcoma is a rare and aggressive cancer that primarily affects the bones or the soft tissues surrounding bones. It most commonly occurs in children, adolescents, and young adults, with peak incidence between ages 10 and 20. The most frequent sites of occurrence include long bones like the femur, pelvis, ribs, and scapula.
The exact cause of Ewing sarcoma is unknown, but it is associated with specific genetic changes, most commonly a translocation between the EWSR1 gene on chromosome 22 and the FLI1 gene on chromosome 11. This fusion gene leads to uncontrolled cell growth.
Ewing sarcoma Symptoms include localized pain and swelling, often worse at night, and can be accompanied by fever, fatigue, and unintentional weight loss. In advanced stages, the cancer may spread to other parts of the body, such as the lungs, bone marrow, or other bones. Ewing sarcoma Diagnosis involves imaging studies (X-ray, MRI, or CT scans), biopsy for histological examination, and genetic testing to confirm the diagnosis.
Ewing sarcoma Treatment typically combines chemotherapy, surgery, and/or radiation therapy. Multimodal therapy aims to eradicate the primary tumor and any metastases. While advancements in treatment have improved survival rates, early diagnosis and comprehensive care are critical to achieving favorable outcomes in Ewing sarcoma.

Recent Developmental Activities in the Ewing Sarcoma Treatment Landscape
- Vigil: Gradalis
Gradalis is developing and testing Vigil, a fully personalized, patient-specific cancer immunotherapy that can be applied to virtually any cancer. Vigil utilizes the patient’s own cancer cells to create a fully personalized cancer immunotherapy with the goal to activate the patient’s own T-cells against their cancer cells. When those cells are reintroduced back into the patient, the two modifications are designed to help activate the immune system to detect and kill any cancer cells that may remain locally and in circulation. All together, the goal is to stimulate the existing components of the immune system with the intent to improve their anti-tumor responses. Vigil enhances specific functions that assist in cancer antigen recognition and dampen other functions that cancer cells often employ to evade the immune system. A Phase III clinical trial of Vigil in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide for the treatment of patients with Ewing’s sarcoma (EWS) is currently ongoing.
- ONCT216: Oncternal Therapeutics
ONCT-216 (formerly called TK216) is a first-in-class small molecule inhibiting the biological activity of ETS-family (E26 Transformation Specific) transcription factor oncoproteins in a variety of tumor types. It is currently being evaluated in the Phase II portion of a study in patients with relapsed or refractory Ewing sarcoma, a serious pediatric bone cancer. ONCT-216 was developed based on the discoveries of Jeff Toretsky, MD, at Georgetown University, who identified a small molecule that was shown to kill Ewing sarcoma cells and inhibit growth of tumors in preclinical studies. Oncternal scientists developed and tested a large series of derivatives of the research molecule and after extensive evaluation, ONCT-216 was selected as a lead product candidate. ONCT-216 has been extensively evaluated in preclinical studies, where it has been confirmed to kill Ewing sarcoma cells and inhibit Ewing sarcoma tumors in animal models. The company continues to collaborate with Dr. Toretsky and his colleagues in order to advance the research underlying the molecular pathways of ONCT-216 and optimize its development across multiple tumor types.
- SP-2577: Salarius Pharmaceuticals
SP-2577 is being studied in an ongoing Phase I/II trial treating three different patient groups with sarcomas, including Ewing Sarcoma, Myxoid Liposarcoma and additional FET-rearranged soft tissue sarcomas. These are cancers with high-unmet need and represent Salarius’ “speed-to-market strategy” given the potential for accelerated approval. Salarius’ LSD1 technology was licensed from the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute where it was developed in the laboratory of Dr. Sunil Sharma.
Ewing Sarcoma Epidemiology
In 2023, there were approximately 1,200 incident cases of Ewing sarcoma across the 7MM, with numbers expected to rise during the forecast period. The United States contributed the largest share (~41%), while within the EU4, Germany recorded the highest incidence (~15%) and Italy the lowest. In the US, children aged 10–14 years accounted for the largest proportion of cases (30%), followed by adolescents aged 15–19 years (26%). Ewing sarcoma was found to be more common in males, with around 300 new male cases reported in the US in 2023.

Ewing Sarcoma Market Insights
In 2023, the Ewing Sarcoma treatment market in the 7MM was valued at USD 30 million, with growth expected through 2034. Germany leads the EU4 market (~25%), while Seclidemstat + TC is projected to dominate the 2L+ setting by 2034. The arrival of targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and combination regimens is set to expand the treatment landscape and improve patient outcomes.
Advancements in chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation have improved survival in Ewing Sarcoma, but outcomes remain limited, especially for high-risk patients. Challenges include the rarity of the disease, incomplete understanding of high-risk biology, and difficulty conducting large-scale trials. Currently, there is no standardized second-line treatment, though salvage regimens with agents like topotecan, cyclophosphamide, irinotecan, and temozolomide, as well as high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation, have shown promise. Emerging strategies include RNA interference, protein degraders, and immunotherapy targeting novel epitopes. Despite available modalities, the lack of effective treatments highlights the urgent need for innovation. The dynamics of Ewing Sarcoma market is expected to change due to the improvement in the diagnosis, incremental healthcare expenditure across the world and expected launch of emerging therapies during the forecast period of 2022─2034. Companies all over the globe are persistently working towards the development of new treatment therapies and some of the key players at the global level are Tyme, Gradalis, Oncurious, Eisai, and others.
Ewing Sarcoma Market Landscape
The future Ewing Sarcoma treatment landscape is expected to broaden with novel classes such as DR5 agonist antibodies, CDK inhibitors, LSD1 inhibitors, and AXL inhibitors. These therapies are designed to overcome limitations of earlier drugs by leveraging tumor-specific apoptosis through DR5 activation, a key pro-apoptotic receptor for TRAIL.
