GlobalData analysis finds that the prostate cancer therapeutics market in Japan 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 Japan accounted for approximately 5% of the global prostate cancer therapeutics market.
In 2009, Taxotere was the leading drug for hormone refractory prostate cancer with approximate sales worth $14m and a market share of 10.2% of the prostate cancer therapeutics market in Japan. Casodex and Zoladex were the most used therapy for hormone dependent prostate cancer patients and accounted for 80% of the total prostate cancer therapeutics market in Japan. 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 products launched in the forecast period 2009 to 2020.
