This decisive shift in priorities is driven by the compelling initial data from the Phase 2 monotherapy trial evaluating stenoparib in advanced, recurrent ovarian cancer patients, as announced on December 5, 2023.

Key Points: 
  • This decisive shift in priorities is driven by the compelling initial data from the Phase 2 monotherapy trial evaluating stenoparib in advanced, recurrent ovarian cancer patients, as announced on December 5, 2023.
  • In addition, stenoparib is unique in its mechanism of action, inhibiting PARP as well as the novel cancer target, tankyrase.
  • Tankyrase inhibition would restrain the WNT pathway, which is commonly upregulated not only in ovarian cancers but in many other solid cancers.
  • Given the unique, dual mechanism of action for stenoparib—coupled with its favorable safety profile—stenoparib may represent the next-generation alternative in the evolving market for advanced ovarian cancer patients.

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Market Insights report includes a comprehensive understanding of current treatment practices, mCRPC emerging drugs, market share of individual therapies, and current and forecasted market size from 2019 to 2032, segmented into 7MM [the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan].

Key Points: 
  • As per DelveInsight analysis, the total metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer market size in the 7MM was estimated to be nearly USD 6.4 billion in 2022, which is expected to show positive growth by 2032.
  • As per DelveInsight estimates, in 2022, total diagnosed prevalent cases of mCRPC were around 127K in the 7MM.
  • However, mCRPC remains a lethal diagnosis and more effective therapeutic approaches against mCRPC are necessary to improve clinical outcomes further.
  • The estimated five-year survival rate for men with metastatic prostate cancer is approximately 30%, in stark contrast to the 100% survival rate for those with localized prostate cancer.
