Provenge
Provenge
PROVENGE® (sipuleucel-T) is a prescription medicine used to treat certain men with advanced prostate cancer. PROVENGE is an established cellular immunotherapy and is customized to each individual by using his own immune cells.
PROVENGE is made from your own immune cells, which are collected during a process called leukapheresis. The cells are processed, returned, and then infused back into the patient through an IV (intravenous) infusion about 3 days later.
- Once inside your body, PROVENGE interacts with your immune system, particularly with types of white blood cells called T cells and B cells.
- PROVENGE stimulates your T cells to recognize and attack prostate cancer cells.
Administration Information
This process is completed in 3 cycles, about 2 weeks apart. Each infusion takes approximately 1 hour and requires 30 minutes of post-infusion monitoring.
Potential Side Effects
The most common side effects of PROVENGE were generally mild to moderate and were well-tolerated. Most infusion-related side effects were resolved within 1 or 2 days. Most common were chills, fever, headache, fatigue, nausea, joint pain, and back pain.
