Novartis said the drug showed positive topline results from an interim analysis of NATALEE in a broad population of patients with early breast cancer.
In a company statement, Novartis said the drug exhibited positive topline results from an interim analysis of NATALEE, a Phase III trial evaluating Kisqali, in a broad population of patients with early breast cancer.
According to the statement, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee recommended stopping the trial early because the primary endpoint of invasive disease-free survival had been met. Signage is displayed on the exterior of the Novartis AG Institutes for BioMedical Research building in Cambridge, Mass.
Dr. Dennis Slamon, Director of Clinical and Translational Research at the University of California, and NATALEE trial lead investigator, said "While most patients are diagnosed and treated early with the aim to cure breast cancer, the risk of cancer returning, often as metastatic disease, peaks within three years after diagnosis, but never goes away completely.
