Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Treatment Market: Understanding and Treatment Algorithm:
Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) is an advanced form of prostate cancer that continues to grow despite low testosterone levels achieved through hormone therapy. It is characterized by disease progression despite androgen deprivation, often leading to metastasis. CRPC is challenging to treat and requires targeted therapies to manage symptoms and slow cancer growth.
Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Diagnosis:
Diagnosis involves monitoring prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, imaging tests like bone scans, CT, or MRI to detect metastasis, and assessing symptoms despite ongoing androgen deprivation therapy. Rising PSA levels or new lesions indicate progression, confirming resistance to castration and guiding further treatment decisions.
Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Treatment
Treatment for Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) includes androgen receptor inhibitors like enzalutamide and apalutamide, chemotherapy agents such as docetaxel, immunotherapy (e.g., sipuleucel-T), targeted therapies like PARP inhibitors, and radiopharmaceuticals such as radium-223. Treatment choice depends on disease progression, metastasis, patient health, and prior therapies to manage symptoms and prolong survival.

Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Recent Developments:
- In June 2023, Pfizer announced that the U.S. FDA approved TALZENNA (talazoparib) in combination with XTANDI (enzalutamide) for the treatment of adult patients with homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This approval was based on the Phase 3 TALAPRO-2 trial, which demonstrated a 55% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death in patients treated with the combination compared to those receiving XTANDI alone.
Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Marketed Drugs:
Xtandi (enzalutamide) is an androgen receptor inhibitor that blocks the effects of androgens, promoting prostate cancer growth. It is FDA-approved for non-metastatic and metastatic CRPC, improving survival and delaying disease progression.
- Zytiga: Janssen Pharmaceuticals
Zytiga (abiraterone acetate) inhibits androgen biosynthesis, reducing testosterone production. It is used in metastatic CRPC patients, often combined with prednisone, to extend survival.
Jevtana (cabazitaxel) is a chemotherapy agent used in metastatic CRPC patients previously treated with docetaxel, targeting microtubules to inhibit cancer cell division.
