Review of key trends in the development of new benign prostatic hyperplasia drugs across the seven major markets. Includes analyses of clinical trial design, target product profile, innovative early-stage projects, and future treatment developments.

New therapies have entered the benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) drug market since Datamonitor reviewed the market in 2009, including Rapaflo (silodosin; Recordati) and Duodart/Jalyn (dutasteride and tamsulosin; GlaxoSmithKline). Meanwhile, the failure of AEterna Zentaris's cetrorelix to meet Phase III efficacy endpoints signals the end of gonadotropin-releasing hormones being approved for BPH.

Scope

- Understand key dynamics in the R&D pipeline for new BPH therapies.

- Support R&D decision-making by understanding the competitive dynamics of the pipeline.

- Benchmark pipeline candidates using the target product profile identified by Datamonitor.

- Access Datamonitor's prediction of how the treatment landscape may change in the next 20 years.

Highlights

- Datamonitor identified 18 drugs in clinical development for BPH, with orally delivered candidates accounting for 43% of the READ MORE >

CLINICAL PIPELINE OVERVIEW

- The benign prostatic hyperplasia pipeline remains lackluster
- Mechanism of action Despite failures, disease-modifying products continue to account for the largest single proportion of the pipeline
- Symptomatic relief agents
- Disease-modifying agents
- Late-stage development compounds recently discontinued

TARGET PRODUCT PROFILE Symptomatic relief - tamsulosin Flomax (tamsulosin; Astellas/Boehringer Ingelheim)

- Disease-modifying - Avodart (dutasteride; GlaxoSmithKline) Key clinical trials
- Target product profile versus current level of attainment

CLINICAL TRIAL DESIGN IN BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA

- Clinical trials Recruitment criteria
- Primary endpoints
- Secondary endpoints

INNOVATIVE EARLY-STAGE APPROACHES LS11 (talaporfin sodium)

- Mechanism of action - a light-activated drug to provide localized drug action
- Clinical studies have begun

THE FUTURE OF TREATMENT IN BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA

- Surgical management will increase
- Greater use of molecular profiling
