- Results from a Phase 3 clinical trial, FALCON, showed AstraZeneca's (NASDAQ:AZN -0.4%) FASLODEX (fulvestrant) was superior to Arimidex (anastrozole) in extending progression-free survival (PFS) in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer who had not had prior hormonal treatment. Full results will be presented at an upcoming medical conference (probably ASCO).
- FASLODEX is currently approved for the treatment of HR+ HER2- breast cancer, in combination with palbociclib in patients previously treated with endocrine therapy and in HR+ breast cancer in patients previously treated with antiestrogen therapy.
