Bayer said it received approval from the Food and Drug Administration for its drug Nubeqa, which treats patients with a certain type of prostate cancer.
The German life-sciences company said Tuesday the approval is based on positive results from a phase 3 trial. The trial results showed a 46% reduction in the risk of radiographic progression or death among patients taking Nubeqa in combination with another form of therapy.
There were 669 patients in the randomized, placebo-controlled trial, Bayer said.
Nubeqa is indicated in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with metastatic and non-metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
