In the US, prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy diagnosed in men, and is the second-leading cause of cancer mortality in men behind lung cancer.

Key Points: 
  • In the US, prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy diagnosed in men, and is the second-leading cause of cancer mortality in men behind lung cancer.
  • Prostate cancer drugs, on average, take 9.0 years from Phase I to approval, compared to 9.6 years in the overall oncology space.
  • Pfizer's next-generation androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor Xtandi is the market leader in prostate cancer due to its established efficacy across prostate cancer segmentations and a lack of near-term generic competition.
  • Future expansion opportunities include potential use in combination with PARP inhibitors Talzenna or Rubraca in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients.

Friday, June 25, 2021

The Phase 3 VERACITY clinical trial is an open label, randomized (2:1), multicenter registration study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sabizabulin 32mg oral daily dosing versus an alternative androgen receptor targeting agent for the treatment of chemotherapy nave men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer who have progressed on at least one androgen receptor targeting agent.

Key Points: 
  • The Phase 3 VERACITY clinical trial is an open label, randomized (2:1), multicenter registration study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sabizabulin 32mg oral daily dosing versus an alternative androgen receptor targeting agent for the treatment of chemotherapy nave men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer who have progressed on at least one androgen receptor targeting agent.
  • Unfortunately, advanced prostate cancer patients receiving androgen receptor targeting agents in combination with standard ADT will eventually have tumor progression.
  • Verus prostate cancer pipeline includes: sabizabulin, an oral, first-in-class, new chemical entity that targets the cytoskeleton disruptor which in prostate cancer also disrupts the transport of the androgen receptor.
  • A Phase 3 VERACITY clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of sabizabulin in approximately 245 men for the treatment of metastatic castration and androgen receptor targeting agent resistant prostate cancer is enrolling.
