The US Food and Drug Administration has granted a priority review status to Roche’s immunotherapy to treat advanced bladder cancer, the Swiss pharmaceutical maker said on Tuesday.
The drug, atezolizumab, was granted the status based on results of a study, which showed the drug shrank tumors and that a majority of patients continued to respond to the treatment after nearly a year of follow up, Roche Chief Medical Officer Sandra Horning said.
