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

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/h6rjm7/xtandi_prostate) has announced the addition of the "Xtandi (Prostate Cancer) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022" report to their offering.

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.

Medivation's and Astellas' Xtandi is approved by the FDA as a second-line therapy for patients with mCRPC. Xtandi is a FIC (News - Alert), triple-action androgen signaling inhibitor that was initially developed by Medivation, which entered into a collaboration agreement with Astellas. Medivation and Astellas will co-market Xtandi in the US, while Astellas retains the marketing rights for the rest of the world. The companies have priced Xtandi aggressively compared with its primary competitor, Zytiga, in the US. Such aggressive pricing may be a barrier to Xtandi's reimbursement and uptake, especially in the 5EU, where there is a clear focus on cutting costs.
