NEW YORK, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Biotechnology company Dendreon Corp. (NasdaqNM:DNDN - News) on Thursday said U.S. regulators would speed their review of the company's prostate cancer drug Provenge, currently in late-stage testing.
Shares of the company jumped to $7.70 in pre-market trading on Instinet from a closing price of $6.23 on Wednesday.
The U.S. Food and Drug Adminstration's "fast-track" designation means the agency will review data from clinical trials before all the company's data has been submitted. The fast-track status often leads to a "priority," or six-month, review of a drug, compared to the normal 12-month review.
Dendreon in June won another concession from the FDA when the agency ruled the company could exclude prostate cancer patients with the most aggressive tumors from its pivotal Phase III trial.
Previous clinical trials suggested the drug delays progression of the disease and reduces pain from the cancer. Dendreon has previously said it hopes to have Provenge on the market in 2005.
The treatment consists of immune-system cells called "dendrites" that are taken from the body and exposed to a genetically engineered protein, or antigen, found only on prostate cancer cells. They are then re-infused in the body with the task of triggering its immune system to fight foreign invaders such as cancer cells.
