Prior to an upcoming advisory panel meeting to discuss whether GlaxoSmithKline’s Avodart (dutasteride) should receive an expanded indication as a chemopreventive for prostate cancer, the FDA has released briefing documents noting that the 5-alpha reductase inhibitor increases the risk of high-risk prostate cancer.
