Zytiga Outsells Jevtana

Zyitga sales are exceeding all rival drugs for prostate cancer including Jevtana.

The expanded indication prechemotherapy would give Zytiga an advantage as it competes with the likes of Sanofi's Jevtana (cabazitaxel), which had sales of around $50m in the first quarter of 2012 and is currently indicated for second- and third-line use in mCRPC. Zytiga sales for the same quarter were 4 fold higher at $ 200M reflecting the oncologists preferred use of Zytiga.
Zytiga is also being tested in a phase III trial as a first-line treatment for prostate cancer.
