GlobalData has released its new PharmaPoint Drug Evaluation report, "Firmagon (Prostate Cancer) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022". The recent approvals of second-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) therapies like J&J's Zytiga (abiraterone acetate) and Medivation/Astellas' Xtandi (enzalutamide) will drive strong market growth over the next decade. These safe and orally administered treatments will provide safety and convenience benefits over the current standard of care, chemotherapy with docetaxel, while prolonging the overall survival of patients with mCRPC. The December 12, 2012 FDA approval of Zytiga for the added indication of chemotherapy-naive mCRPC marks the onset of a new treatment paradigm for the disease, in which chemotherapy is relegated to second-line therapy and beyond. For patients with earlier-stage prostate cancer, androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH agonists and first-generation antiandrogens remains the standard of care for suppressing testosterone levels and temporarily controlling the disease.

Ferring's Firmagon is a synthetic peptide that targets the LHRH receptor. It is differentiated from its competitors in that it acts as an LHRH receptor antagonist rather than as an agonist (that is, an LHRH analog). Firmagon is prescribed for patients with advanced prostate cancer and is administered monthly as a subcutaneous injection. The binding of Firmagon to the LHRH receptor rapidly results in decreased testosterone production without the testosterone flare that is characteristic of treatment with LHRH receptor agonists.
