Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) Market Size, Share, Trend, Outlook, Future Growth Analysis And Synthesis 2018 - 2026 Androgens are male sex hormones responsible for masculine characteristics such ad muscular build, deeper voice, and facial hair. Most of the androgens are produced in testes and their two most common types are dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and testosterone. Along with normal functions, androgens also contribute to prostate cancer cell growth, especially during early stages of the cancer. Androgen deprivation therapy, also called androgen suppression therapy, is used either to reduce the production of androgens in the patient’s body or to modulate the way androgens work, thus ultimately inhibiting growth of prostate cancer cells.

Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) Market Drivers Key players in the market are focusing on research to develop new drugs and broaden the indication label of current drugs for treatment of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which is expected to boost the global androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) market growth over the forecast period.
For instance, in February 2018, Janssen Pharmaceutica, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson received approval for its drug ERLEADA (apalutamide) in treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). ERLEADA is a next-generation androgen receptor inhibitor, which belongs to the class of drugs anti-androgens and blocks the effect of testosterone to slow down the process of tumor growth and metastasis. It is the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug for the treatment of patients with non-metastatic CRPC.
Similarly, in July 2018, Pfizer Inc. and Astellas Pharma Inc. received approval from the U.S. FDA for XTANDI (enzalutamide) that is indicated for the treatment of non-metastatic CRPC along with its existing indication for CRPC. XTANDI is an androgen receptor inhibitor and works by inhibiting the effects of testosterone, thereby slowing tumor growth and metastasis. These factors are expected to have a positive impact on the global androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) market growth over the forecast period.
