Dendreon Corporation (Nasdaq:DNDN) announced the expansion of its clinical trial program for Provenge(TM), its therapeutic cancer vaccine, with the initiation of a Phase III trial targeting men with earlier stage prostate cancer.

Provenge is already in Phase III trials for men with advanced hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

"It is fitting that we have chosen the commencement of National Men's Health Week to announce expansion of our Provenge clinical trial program to include patients with earlier stage prostate cancer," said Christopher S. Henney, PhD, DSc, Dendreon. "Dendreon is committed to the development of a safe and effective therapeutic product for the treatment of this prevalent disease."

Approximately 15 centers nationwide are involved in the new double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, which will enroll patients who have had their prostate surgically removed, but who have rising levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), indicating recurrence of disease. In this new Provenge trial, treatment will be given subsequent to three months of hormone therapy, a common therapy for recurrent prostate cancer.
