•  A sustained immune response to PROVENGE was seen out to 26 weeks in the pivotal study (the last time point measured)
PROVENGE provides a safety profile you and your patients can manage
Only 1.5% of patients treated with PROVENGE in the pivotal trial discontinued treatment due to adverse events²
The most common adverse events reported in the PROVENGE group were chills, fatigue, fever, back pain, nausea, joint ache, and headache²
INDICATION
PROVENGE® (sipuleucel-T) is approved by the FDA as an autologous cellular immunotherapy for the treatment of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castrate resistant (hormone refractory) prostate cancer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

PROVENGE is intended solely for autologous use and is not routinely tested for transmissible infectious diseases.

In controlled clinical trials, serious adverse events reported in the PROVENGE group included acute infusion reactions (occurring within 1 day of infusion) and cerebrovascular events. Severe (Grade 3) acute infusion reactions were reported in 3.5% of patients in the PROVENGE group. Reactions included chills, fever, fatigue, asthenia, dyspnea, hypoxia, bronchospasm, dizziness, headache, hypertension, muscle ache, nausea, and vomiting. No Grade 4 or 5 acute infusion reactions were reported in patients in the PROVENGE group.
