Roche Holding said data from a late-stage clinical trial
evaluating a lung-cancer treatment has been inadvertently
disclosed, and that the study will continue until a final analysis
for overall survival has been completed.
The Swiss pharmaceutical giant said Wednesday that there was an
inadvertent disclosure of the second interim analysis of the phase
3 trial when interim results for the overall survival rate--a
primary goal of the trial--weren't mature.
The study is continuing and remains blinded to patients and
investigators, the company said.
The trial evaluates immunotherapy tiragolumab in combination
with antibody Tecentriq against Tecentriq alone as an initial
treatment for people with a particular case of advanced or
metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, Roche said.
The interim results showed an estimated median overall survival
of 22.9 months for patients who received the combination, against
16.7 months for those who were in the monotherapy arm, the company
said. The combination of tiragolumab plus Tecentriq was well
tolerated, it said.
