Novartis AG said late Wednesday that the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration has given its prostate-cancer treatment, Pluvicto,
the green light, and it is now expected to become available within
weeks.
The Swiss pharma company said that Pluvicto works against a
certain type of advanced prostate cancer.
The FDA approval is based on the result of a Phase 3 trial which
showed that patients treated with the drug, plus the standard
available treatment, had a 38% reduction in the risk of death,
Novartis said.
