Analysis by: Taral Patel, Oncologist,Dendreon Presents Data Correlating the Cumulative Potency of PROVENGE(R) to Overall Survival | www.pipelinereview.com
esults showed that PROVENGE patients experienced improved survival if they received more cells across the three doses of PROVENGE (higher cumulative TNC count (p=0.019)) or higher cumulative CD54 upregulation values (p=0.009). The effect on survival for TNCs appeared to reflect in part the patients' baseline prognostic factors. However, the CD54 upregulation ratio appeared to be an independent predictor of survival in patients who received PROVENGE, as the correlation remained strong even after adjusting for baseline prognostic factors (p=0.022). Data is very impressive. This may lead FDA approval in prostate cancer in next 3-6 months.

In the study that was the basis of Genentech’s application, Avastin appeared to slow the progress of the disease. advanced breast cancer who had already tried other drugs. He said he’s never used Avastin to treat breast cancer, but he knows other doctors do, despite the lack of FDA’s blessing. “Physicians always want to do something for the patient,” he said. But he believes the panel’s vote “will make them think twice” before they try Avastin for breast cancer. “This drug is a good drug,” Buzdar added. “It does work in a number of other cancers where it not only prolongs control of the disease but it keeps more patients alive. In breast cancer, it has not panned out.”
