After a hiatus of more than nine months, the U.S. FDA’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) will meet April 30 to discuss two Astrazeneca plc applications – an NDA for camizestrant used in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor to treat HR+HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer and an sNDA for Truqap (capivasertib) to treat metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that’s phosphatase and tensin homolog deficient.
Along with Enhertu, Astrazeneca plc now has another breast cancer treatment in its portfolio and it may also become a blockbuster. Truqap (capivasertib), combined with the company’s Faslodex (fulvestrant), is now U.S. FDA-approved for treating hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
