The treatment of newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer has evolved in recent years with the approval of hormonal agents such as Zytiga (Janssen), Xtandi (Pfizer / Astellas), and the next-generation androgen receptor inhibitor Erleada (Janssen). In December 2020, Orgovyx (Myovant / Takeda) was FDA approved and has also entered the treatment paradigm. Although novel treatment modalities have improved patient outcomes, substantial unmet need remains for novel therapies with better efficacy and improved safety and tolerability. Therefore, the therapeutic management of newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer presents an enormous commercial opportunity for drug developers.
