FDA Approves Femara as First-Line Therapy for Advanced Cancer.(breast cancer)
2001 FEB 1 - (NewsRx.com) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an indication for Femara (letrozole) as a first-line treatment for postmenopausal women with hormore receptor positive or hormone receptor unknown, advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Femara, an aromatase inhibitor, was approved for treatment of advanced breast cancer in 1997 in women whose cancer had not responded to antiestrogen drugs. Femara was shown to be more effective than tamoxifen in a randomized, double-blinded, multinational trial of more than 900 postmenopausal women, with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer not amenable to treatment with surgery or radiation.
