Novartis said the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency has adopted a positive opinion recommending approval of Kisqali (ribociclib) in combination with an aromatase inhibitor for treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer as initial endocrine-based therapy.
On Aug. 26, FDA approved the RAS inhibitor, daraxonrasib, sponsored by Revolution Medicines Inc. and also known as Rasonque, for patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have received at least one prior systemic therapy or are not candidates for multiagent systemic therapy.
