Roche Awaits FDA Review of Giredestrant, a New Breast Cancer Treatment Pill
Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche is awaiting US FDA decisions on giredestrant, a daily pill for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Clinical trials involving thousands of patients showed the drug reduces cancer recurrence risk and is better tolerated than existing therapies.

Roche projects potential sales up to $15 billion, marking a significant development in breast cancer treatment pending regulatory approval.
