FDA advisory panel votes overwhelmingly recommending approval of Provenge now.

A panel member voting in the minority, publicly criticizes the positive panel position through a letter leaked to The Cancer Letter publication.

A second panel member voting in the minority, publicly criticizes the positive panel position through a letter leaked to The Cancer Letter publication.

The FDA renders its decision not to approve Provenge now, requesting more clinical data.

It could be years before Provenge is approved and available to patients. There is a risk that it could be lost forever.

Provenge Now is a patient advocate initiative created to gain immediate FDA approval for the first-ever Active Cellular Immunotherapy treatment for prostate cancer. Survivors hope to extend their lives with a better quality with this new type of landmark treatment. Provenge is a symbol for a new era in prostate cancer treatment.

Patient advocates do not dispute FDA's request for more clinical data. Our position is that this confirmatory data should be a requirement post approval and that Provenge should be approved now by the FDA for patient use.

The Provenge Now advocate organizations support immediate approval of new prostate cancer treatments to expand the options available to patients, including Active Cellular Immunotherapies.

Join the effort to gain immediate approval of Provenge®.
