Research and Markets: Provenge (Prostate Cancer) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4dj7pz/provenge) has announced the addition of GlobalData's new report "Provenge (Prostate Cancer) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022" to their offering.

“Provenge (Prostate Cancer) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022”

The recent approvals of second-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) therapies like J&J's Zytiga (abiraterone acetate) and Medivation/Astellas' Xtandi (enzalutamide) will drive strong market growth over the next decade. These safe and orally administered treatments will provide safety and convenience benefits over the current standard of care, chemotherapy with docetaxel, while prolonging the overall survival of patients with mCRPC. The December 12, 2012 FDA approval of Zytiga for the added indication of chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC marks the onset of a new treatment paradigm for the disease, in which chemotherapy is relegated to second-line therapy and beyond. For patients with earlier-stage prostate cancer, androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH agonists and first-generation antiandrogens remains the standard of care for suppressing testosterone levels and temporarily controlling the disease.

Dendreon's Provenge is the first FDA-approved therapeutic cancer vaccine, and is a treatment for mCRPC. It consists of the patient's own immune cells, which have been activated against Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (PAP), a protein found in prostate cancer cells (Provenge Prescribing Information, 2011). These activated immune cells are then infused back into the patient and induce an immune response against the prostate cancer cells.
