Roche reports that divarasib reduced the risk of death by 44 percent versus available therapies from Amgen and Bristol Myers Squibb in a late‑stage clinical trial and that fewer patients discontinued treatment due to side effects. Divarasib targets the KRAS G12C mutation and is intended as an oral therapy to become a standard treatment for a specific form of lung cancer. Roche is conducting additional late‑stage studies, evaluating use in earlier disease stages and combinations with Keytruda, and has raised expected peak sales to 2–3 billion CHF. » Mais em finanzen.net
