Success Halts Tests of Novartis Breast Cancer Drug

femara.jpgReuters via Yahoo! News:

One of a new class of breast cancer drugs was so successful in a major international trial that scientists stopped the test half way through to allow all the patients to take advantage of the stunning success rate, the lead author of a new medical report said on Thursday.

The five-year study of about 5,200 women with the most common form of breast cancer was halted midway because Femara, made by Swiss drugmaker Novartis, cut by 43 percent the risk of the disease's recurrence, compared with the risk for patients taking a placebo, scientists said.

"This is a sea change in the treatment of the disease," Dr. Paul Goss of Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, who led the research, told a news conference.

A welcome advance in the fight against breast cancer.
