Prostate Cancer - Germany Drug Forecasts and Treatment Analysis to 2020

GlobalData analysis finds that the prostate cancer therapeutics market in Germany is attractive and is primarily driven by the growth in the hormone-refractory prostate cancer therapeutics market. The growth in the number of total patients receiving treatment and increase in the annual cost of hormone-refractory prostate cancer therapy is expected to offset the impact of generic erosion in hormone-dependent prostate cancer therapy. The patient volume was driven by growth in treatment usage patterns such as diseased population, treatment seeking population, diagnosis population and prescription population. The annual cost of prostate cancer therapy between 2001 and 2009 was driven by increased uptake of chemotherapy using Taxotere. Expected launch of new therapies such as Provenge (sipuleucel-T) and Jevtana (cabazitaxel) will further drive the annual cost of therapy.

Hormone therapy using combination of hormone therapies such as LHRH agonists and androgen receptor antagonists is a prominent treatment regime. Taxotere is the current standard of care for patients that stop responding to hormone therapy. The introduction of new therapies for metastatic prostate cancer is expected to expand the market further.

In 2009, the Germany accounted for approximately 12% of the global prostate cancer therapeutics market.

In 2009, Taxotere was the leading drug with approximate sales worth $91m and a market share of 25% of the prostate cancer therapeutics market in Germany. Casodex (bicalutamide) and Zoladex (goserelin) were the most used hormone therapies and together accounted for approximately 44% of the total prostate cancer therapeutics market in Germany. The impact of generic competition for Casodex in 2008 and Taxotere in 2011 is expected to partially offset the growth in revenue due to new product launched in the forecast period 2009 to 2020.
