Roche: FDA approves new targeted breast cancer drug

(CercleFinance.com) - US regulators have approved a new subcutaneous drug for the treatment of breast cancer for Roche, giving patients a new treatment based on their individual needs and preferences.


The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Herceptin Hylecta for injection for the treatment of certain people with HER2-positive early breast cancer in combination with chemotherapy.

The FDA's decision also concerns HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer in combination with paclitaxel or alone in people who have one or more chemotherapy.

Herceptin Hylecta is a ready-to-use formulation that can be administered in two to five minutes, compared to 30 to 90 minutes for the intravenous cancer drug Herceptin.
