The Problem - Prostate Cancer
High Incidence
• Prostate Cancer is
the most common
type of cancer in
men in the USA
• Annual
expenditures
exceed $15 billion
Limited efficacy for
metastatic disease
• Radiation,
hormonal and
chemotherapy
remain palliative
High Toxicity
• Severe bone
marrow toxicity
and poor
tolerance
Effective drug based therapy and immunotherapy
is an unmet clinical need in prostate cancer
