`Therapy provides significant survival benefit in second­line metastatic hormone­refractory prostate cancer
`in combination with prednisone.
`
`LAVAL, QC, Oct. 4, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ ­ Sanofi is pleased to announce that the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan
`and Ontario have listed JEVTANA® (cabazitaxel) on their respective provincial formulary so that it is now eligible for
`reimbursement for patients with advanced prostate cancer. JEVTANA®(cabazitaxel) is indicated as a second line

`treatment of castration resistant (hormone refractory) metastatic prostate cancer (mHRPC) in combination with
`prednisone in patients who have received prior treatment with a docetaxel containing regimen.
`
`"JEVTANA fills a critical treatment gap, since it is the novel treatment approved for patients with this stage of
`metastatic hormone­refractory prostate cancer. The ability to access JEVTANA and to know that Alberta,
`Saskatchewan and Ontario are funding the treatment is a major gain for men dealing with the disease and their
`families," said Dr. Stan Glezer, Vice President of Evidence, Value and Access.  "Sanofi is strongly committed to
`bringing innovative therapies to the cancer community and to working in cooperation with the provincial health
`agencies to demonstrate the value of medicine for the patients and contribute to the sustainability of the healthcare
`system."
`
`The combination of JEVTANA® and prednisone is the first and only chemotherapy to have shown a significant
`survival benefit for men with mHRPC previously treated with a docetaxel­containing regimen.
`
`Reimbursement for prescription drugs is not mandated by the Canada Health Act or any other federal legislation.
`Provincial governments independently establish reimbursement plans.
`
`"We trust other provinces will follow the lead of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario and approve coverage of this
`treatment option," added Dr. Glezer. "JEVTANA is an important therapy addition for patients living with mHRPC and
`helps healthcare professionals in their efforts to treat those patients. Hopefully the availability of a drug like
`JEVTANA®(cabazitaxel) will signal the start of a new, more effective approach to help these patients access the

`treatment."
`
`"Access and availability in Alberta to new options such as JEVTANA®can provide patients with a better chance of

`survival when dealing with such a difficult illness," concluded Bob Shiell, Executive Director, Prostate
`Cancer Canada Network (PCCN) Calgary.

`[i]
`prednisone or prednisolone to treat people with mCRPC previously treated with a docetaxel­containing treatment

`cancer remains the second most common cause of cancer death among men after lung cancer. In Canada, one man
`in seven men will develop prostate cancer. It is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and its incidence has
`increased by 30 percent since 1988. While it is most commonly diagnosed after age 70, prostate cancer can also
`occur in men in their forties and fifties.
`For many patients with prostate cancer, their disease continues to progress
` [ii1] 
`despite prior treatment ­ including surgical and/or hormonal castration followed by chemotherapy. Metastatic prostate
`cancer indicates that the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body, particularly the bones.
`Castration resistant/hormone­refractory prostate cancer means that the cancer has continued to grow despite the
`suppression of male hormones that fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells. An estimated 10­20% of patients with
`prostate cancer are diagnosed when the cancer has already metastasized.
