Progenics. To Live Better
Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., of Tarrytown, NY, is a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development and commercialization of innovative therapeutic products to treat the unmet medical needs of patients with debilitating conditions and life-threatening diseases. Principal programs are directed toward supportive care, virology-including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections-and oncology. Progenics, in collaboration with Wyeth, is developing RELISTOR® (methylnaltrexone bromide) for the treatment of opioid-induced side effects. Wyeth has worldwide rights to develop and commercialize all forms of RELISTOR, except in Japan where Progenics has granted Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. an exclusive license to the subcutaneous form of RELISTOR for development and commercialization in that country. RELISTOR is currently approved in over 30 countries, including the U.S., Canada, Australia and all European Union member states. In the U.S., RELISTOR (methylnaltrexone bromide) subcutaneous injection is indicated for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in patients with advanced illness who are receiving palliative care, when response to laxative therapy has not been sufficient. Marketing applications are pending for RELISTOR in other countries. In the area of virology, Progenics is developing the HIV entry inhibitor PRO 140, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the entry co-receptor CCR5, which is currently in phase 2 clinical testing. The Company is also developing a novel HCV entry inhibitor, PRO 206. For the treatment of prostate cancer, Progenics is conducting a phase 1 clinical trial of a human monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) designed to selectively target prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a protein found on the surface of prostate cancer cells as well as in blood vessels supplying non-prostatic solid tumors. Progenics is also conducting phase 1 clinical trials with vaccines designed to treat prostate cancer by stimulating an immune response to PSMA.
