improve Overall survival in prostate cancer
February 19, 2008
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.
