ZURICH - Novartis has released data showing sharply improved overall survival rates for its breast cancer drug Kisqali, which the Swiss drugmaker hopes will help it chip away at the dominance of Pfizer’s blockbuster Ibrance.
That compares with 46 percent who received only endocrine therapy, which at the time of the study was the standard of care. According to a Refinitiv poll, analysts expect Kisqali - priced at about $130,000 per year - to reap about $1.2 billion annually by 2024.The Swiss company is hoping its new survival analysis, released at the 2019 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting in Chicago, will convince more doctors to consider Kisqali.
