Prostate Cancer | Current Treatment: Physician Insights | US | 2019
Hormonal therapies have dominated the treatment of prostate cancer for the past decade. Zytiga (Janssen, generics) and Xtandi (Medivation / Astellas Pharma), initially approved for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), account for a sizeable market share in this setting. However, following their label expansions, these agents are also quickly becoming standards of care for newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Xofigo (Bayer HealthCare) and Jevtana (Sanofi) are nonhormonal treatments for mCRPC, particularly in later lines. The penetration of Zytiga (abiraterone), Xtandi, Erleada, and nonhormonal agents (e.g., docetaxel) into other patient populations (e.g., newly diagnosed mHSPC, nonmetastatic CRPC [nmCRPC]) will be key market drivers. This report examines surveyed medical oncologists’ and urologists’ current prescribing practices for prostate cancer in the United States and analyzes the key drivers influencing their treatment decisions.
