Key Factors Driving the Growth of the Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma Market
- Rising PCPG Incidence: The increasing incidence of PCPG, particularly among older adults, is primarily driven by increased use of genetic screening and greater clinical awareness, leading to earlier diagnosis of previously unrecognized cases. In the US, in 2025, there were ~2,400 incident cases of PCPG, which will further increase by 2036.
- Rising Opportunities in Radioligand Therapies: Emerging evidence supporting the superior efficacy and safety of Lutetium (177Lu) oxodotreotide (Lutathera), particularly following the discontinuation of the approved radioligand Iobenguane I-131 (Azedra), underscores a growing opportunity for drug developers to advance innovation in radioligand therapies.
- Emerging PCPG Drugs: Some of the PCPG drugs in clinical trials include VMT-α-NET (Perspective Therapeutics), Lutetium (177Lu) oxodotreotide/LUTATHERA (Novartis), ONC206/JZP3507 (Jazz Pharmaceuticals), HTL0039732 (Nxera Pharma), and others.
- Emergence of Novel Drug Classes: Potential novel targeted therapies, including HIF-2α inhibitors, SSTR2 analogs, dopamine receptor D2 agonists, Targeting Tumor-associated Antigens (TAAs) or Tumor-specific Antigens (TSAs), and others, are under investigation and hold promise for future personalized treatment approaches in PCPG.
Aparna Thakur, Assistant Project Manager, Forecasting at DelveInsight, said that companies have a significant opportunity to enter the PCPG market due to the smaller number of approved targeted therapies.
Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma Market Analysis
- Approximately 75% of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PCPG) cases are benign and primarily managed with surgery as the standard of care (SOC).
- The remaining 25% present as metastatic disease, where treatment typically involves a combination of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, radioligand therapy, and targeted agents such as sunitinib, lenvatinib, pazopanib, everolimus, and sorafenib.
- DEMSER (metyrosine) was first approved in the United States in 1979 for the treatment of pheochromocytoma. Later, in January 2019, Ono Pharmaceutical secured approval in Japan for DEMSER capsules to control excessive catecholamine secretion in these patients. In 2020, Amneal Pharmaceuticals introduced the first US-approved generic version of DEMSER.
- The anticipated introduction of WELIREG into the PCPG treatment landscape in 2025 marks a notable advancement in an area with limited systemic therapies. By targeting the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway, a critical driver in many PCPG tumors, it offers a mechanism-based approach that aligns with tumor biology.
- Key companies actively developing therapies for PCPG include Perspective Therapeutics (VMT-α-NET), Novartis (LUTATHERA/Lutetium [177Lu]), Jazz Pharmaceuticals (ONC206/JZP3507), and Nxera Pharma (HTL0039732).

Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma Competitive Landscape
Some of the PCPG drugs under development include Lutetium [177Lu] oxodotreotide/dotatate (LUTATHERA) (Novartis), JZP3507 (ONC206) (Jazz Pharmaceuticals), [212Pb] VMT-α-Net (Perspective Therapeutics), HTL0039732 (Nxera Pharma), and others.
Novartis’ Lutetium (177Lu) oxodotreotide is a peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) developed and commercialized by Novartis. It consists of the somatostatin analog dotatate labeled with the beta-emitting radioisotope lutetium-177, allowing precise delivery of ionizing radiation to tumor cells that express somatostatin receptors, particularly subtype 2. The therapy binds strongly to these receptor-positive cells and, once internalized, releases localized radiation that causes DNA damage and ultimately leads to tumor cell death.
As of January 2026, LUTATHERA’s orphan drug exclusivity in the United States has expired. However, its formulation patents, extending through 2039, including pediatric exclusivity, remain active and are currently under challenge by companies that have filed FDA applications referencing LUTATHERA. In the European Union, the primary patent protection is anticipated to expire in 2029.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ JZP3507 (previously known as ONC206) is an investigational oncology agent with a dual mechanism of action, functioning as a ClpP agonist and a dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) antagonist. It is being assessed in early-phase clinical trials across multiple tumor types, including both central nervous system and non-CNS cancers such as pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PCPG), to address significant unmet needs in hard-to-treat malignancies.
Perspective Therapeutics’ VMT-α-NET is a clinical-stage targeted alpha therapy (TAT) radiopharmaceutical designed for the treatment and imaging of neuroendocrine tumors expressing somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2), a rare and challenging cancer type. Perspective Therapeutics is also working with leading experts to further define the clinical potential of [212Pb] VMT-α-NET through investigator-initiated studies conducted both in the United States and internationally.
In October 2025, Perspective Therapeutics reported updated interim findings from its ongoing Phase I/II trial of [212Pb] VMT-α-NET in patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-positive neuroendocrine tumors. The data, with a cutoff date of September 12, 2025, were presented at major scientific meetings, including the ESMO Congress 2025, the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (NANETS) Multidisciplinary NET Medical Symposium, and the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics.
The anticipated launch of these emerging pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma therapies are poised to transform the pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma market landscape in the coming years. As these cutting-edge Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas therapies continue to mature and gain regulatory approval, they are expected to reshape the Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas market landscape, offering new standards of care and unlocking opportunities for medical innovation and economic growth.

Recent Developments in the Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas Market
- In January 2026, Perspective Therapeutics presented updated interim results from its ongoing Phase I/II trial evaluating [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-expressing NETs as a poster presentation at the 2026 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GI).
- In June 2025, Perspective Therapeutics aligned with the US FDA to open Cohort 3 in its Phase I/IIa trial of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET for patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-positive NETs who have not previously received radiopharmaceutical therapy.
- In May 2025, the FDA approved WELIREG, developed by Merck & Co., for treating adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and above with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (PPGL).
What are Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise from chromaffin cells of the body’s autonomic nervous system. Pheochromocytomas originate specifically in the adrenal medulla, whereas paragangliomas develop outside the adrenal glands along sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve chains, commonly in the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, or pelvis. These tumors can produce excess catecholamines, such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, leading to symptoms like hypertension, headaches, sweating, and palpitations, although some may be non-functional. While most PPGLs are benign, a subset can be malignant and metastasize. They are also notable for their strong genetic association, with a significant proportion linked to inherited syndromes involving mutations in genes such as SDHx, RET, and VHL.
Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma Epidemiology Segmentation
The pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma epidemiology section provides insights into the historical and current pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma patient pool and forecasted trends for the leading markets. PCPG’s actual diagnosed numbers are underestimated, as the disease is inactive and remains silent/asymptomatic for a long time. Considering that almost 50% of the cases are diagnosed after autopsy, the real patient burden is expected to be much higher.
