Roche Holding shares rose 2% Wednesday after the Swiss drugmaker reported positive results from a new study of an experimental breast cancer drug.
The pill, giredestrant, reduced the risk of death or invasive disease by 30% versus an older treatment in patients who had surgery at an early stage of a certain type of breast cancer. The Phase 3 study enrolled about 4,100 patients.
If regulators approve and the drug makes it to market, it could be a big sales generator because the drug promises the first significant advance in this type of endocrine-based therapy for breast cancer in many years.
