A Look into Prostate Cancer Therapeutics Industry……Deep Analysis…..
The global prostate
cancer therapeutics market
is expected to reach USD 12.0 billion by
2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. According to
the American Cancer Society, approximately 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with
prostate cancer in their lifetime. As per Cancer Research, a government
institute, in the UK, 46,690 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed out of
which 11,287 patients died in 2014.
Multiple therapeutic regimens are being
followed across the globe in attempts to come up with a reliable treatment for
Covid-19. One line of treatment includes the use of hydroxychloroquine, while a
second treatment line focuses to use antiviral drugs used in the disease
management of HIV. Both these approaches have surged demand from advanced
antivirals and antimalarial drugs. This impacts the drug manufacturers as an
off label indication for these drug classes has to be worked upon. At the
moment, the WHO has not prescribed any of these approaches, neither they have
commented if one is better than the other. The report will account for Covid19
as a key market contributor.
Supportive initiatives undertaken by
key players in collaboration with various governments to create more awareness
of clinical symptoms about prostate cancer and availability of screening &
diagnostic tests such as Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) and Digital Rectal
Exam (DRE) resulting in early detection. Early detection helps in quick and on
time treatment and assists in deciding treatment regimens. In addition, major
players including Astella, Inc., Sanofi, Dendreon Corporation, AstraZeneca, and
Johnson & Johnson are focusing on development of effective and safe
therapeutic products to treat tumor. Moreover, these players have various
established brands such as Zytiga, Xtandi, Eligard, Taxotere, Provenge, and
Xofigo, which hold a strong position in the market. In addition, there are many
drugs in pipeline such as Tc-99m (Progenics), radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo,
Bayer), and ODM-201 (Orion and Bayer), which are in their phase 3 studies and
are expected to enter the market during the forecast period. In addition,
patents of many existing products are expiring during the forecast period. As a
result, generic products are anticipated to penetrate the market. All these
factors together are expected to propel growth.
In Canada, Prostate Cancer Foundation
of Canada supports research, cure, and prevention of prostate cancer through an
online portal. This portal provides detailed information regarding symptoms,
diagnosis, and commercially available treatment options. Such portals offer
free access to people all around the world, which is resulting in growth.

Further key findings from the study suggest:
·
The growing incidence of
prostate cancer across the globe is expected to drive growth
·
The market is segmented into
hormonal therapy including Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone (LHRH)
agonist, LHRH antagonist & antiandrogen; chemotherapy; immunotherapy, and
targeted therapy
·
Zytiga (Johnson & Johnson)
is considered as a gold standard product for the treatment of prostate cancer
and holds a strong position. However, Xtandi (Astella, Inc.) and Zytiga are
competing with each other. The degree of competition is projected to elevate
during the forecast period. Thus, hormonal therapy holds the largest share.
·
Provenge (Dendreon Corporation)
is the only immunotherapy drug mainly used in the treatment of advanced or
metastasis of such cancerous cells
·
In addition, there are many
promising immunotherapy drugs in the pipeline such as INO-5150 SynCon and
PROSTVAC (Bavarian Nordic), which are expected to enter the market in the near
future. Thus, this drug class is projected to be the fastest growing segment.
·
North America dominated the
global market. Rising prevalence and mortality rate associated with such tumors
in the U.S. is the primary reason for the dominance of the region.
·
Asia Pacific is anticipated to
be the fastest growing region over the forecast period. Rising awareness
regarding prostate cancer in Asian countries including China, Japan, & India,
would be the major factor driving the growth.
·
Some of the major players
include, but are not limited to, Johnson & Johnson; Astella, Inc.; Sanofi;
Ipsen; Bayer AG; AstraZeneca; Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America LLC
(Dendreon Corporation). These major players dominate the market owing to their
strong brand identity and extensive geographic reach.
The
global prostate cancer therapeutics market size was valued at USD 7.9 billion
in 2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period. As
per data published by the World Cancer Research Fund International, more than
1.1 million cases of prostate cancer were reported in 2012, which accounts for
around 8 percent of the total tumor cases. Although the exact cause of prostate
cancer is not known, factors associated with it include overweight, obesity,
and history of any other tumorous growth. Even patients with cardiovascular
diseases are prone to metastasis of cancer. Thus, rising incidence rate of the
above-mentioned conditions is driving market growth.
Adoption
of innovative technologies in screening & diagnostic tests is projected to
drive growth. The incorporation of multiparametric MRI (mp-MRI) can
significantly improve the detection of tumor and also provide confirmation
whether there is a need for tissue biopsy. In addition, market players are
investing in research for the development of therapeutic products for the
treatment of such tumors. For instance, there is a strong pipeline of products
such as Tc-99m (Progenics), radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo, Bayer), ODM-201
(Orion and Bayer), which are in their phase 3 studies and are projected to
enter the market in the near future. In addition, many generic products are
likely to enter the market owing to the expiry of patents of the major existing
products during the forecast period. Thus, these factors are expected to drive
growth.

Along with screening & diagnostic tests, awareness about
availability of medicines amongst public is also of prime importance to break
the social stigma associated with tumor treatment and encourage patients to
avail treatment in time. The governments of developed countries are taking
efforts to conduct & implement programs for creating awareness of screening
tests, such as Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood tests and Digital Rectal
Exam (DRE) for male patients above 50 years. Prostate Cancer Canada has been
established to support research, cure, and prevention of prostate cancer. Such
awareness programs are also being undertaken in developing countries like
China, India, & Brazil.
However, high cost associated with tissue biopsy, especially
during advanced stage of tumor and consultation fees of the physician is
expected to slow down growth. In addition, factors such as poor reimbursement
of treatment cost may affect the adoption rate of treatment procedures
negatively.
