TALZENNA in prostate has the potential to deliver over $1.5B in peak revenues globally and contribute meaningfully to Pfizer’s ambition of “25 Breakthroughs by 2025”.

We are currently preparing for a TALAPRO-2 overall survival launch in 2025 and for a new indication launch in HRR-mutant metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) (TALAPRO-3) expected in 2026. Both the current mCRPC and future mCSPC indications are biomarker-driven, meaning HRR testing is required for patient identification.
