Survival results for Perjeta in CLEOPATRA study for metastatic Breast Cancer - Genentech/Roche
Genentech announced final survival results from the Phase III CLEOPATRA study, which showed that adding Perjeta (pertuzumab) to Herceptin (trastuzumab) and docetaxel chemotherapy extended the lives (overall survival; OS) of people with previously untreated HER2-positive metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) by 15.7 months compared to Herceptin and chemotherapy (median OS: 56.5 vs. 40.8 months). No new safety signals were observed in the study. These data will be presented today in the Presidential Symposium at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2014 congress in Madrid, Spain (Abstract #350O_PR; Sunday, September 28, 4:00-5:30 p.m. CEST)
