Novartis lung cancer drug fails phase III trial

  Novartis on Monday said its canakinumab drug had failed in its targets to improve overall survival rates for lung cancer patients and also prevent the progression-free survival of people with the condition.

The Swiss company said its Canopy-1 Phase III study did not meet its primary endpoints when treating patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

The trial data showed potentially clinically meaningful improvements in some subgroups of patients with inflammatory biomarkers. This data would support a further evaluation of canakunimab in lung cancer, the Novartis said.
