Pfizer's new cancer treatment doubles survival time for aggressive colorectal cancer patients.
A new combination therapy from Pfizer has doubled the survival time for patients with an aggressive form of colorectal cancer, according to a late-stage trial.
The treatment, which includes Braftovi alongside cetuximab and standard chemotherapy, targets the BRAF V600E mutation, found in about 10% of colorectal cancer cases.
Patients who received this combination lived an average of 30 months compared to 15 months for those on standard chemotherapy alone.
The treatment showed a 51% lower risk of death and was well-tolerated, with common side effects like nausea and diarrhea.
The FDA has granted fast-track approval for this therapy.
