FDA Approves AstraZeneca's Breast Cancer Drug Etcamah for Specific Patients
AstraZeneca's breast cancer drug camizestrant, branded as Etcamah, received accelerated approval from the US FDA for treating metastatic breast cancer patients with a specific genetic mutation. Despite an earlier advisory panel vote against it, the FDA cited its potential to offer an additional treatment option. The hormone therapy works by blocking estrogen to slow cancer growth and has shown to delay disease progression by over six months. Analysts project sales around $2.3 billion by 2032, below AstraZeneca's $5 billion estimate.
