Positive Topline Results from Ph 3 PANOVA-3 Clinical Trial of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer Announced
“There are approximately 134,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed annually in China, and this cancer is one of the most challenging to treat globally, with limited effective treatment options and poor survival outcomes,” said Dr. Rafael Amado, M.D., President, Head of Global Research and Development at Zai Lab. “Demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival for patients with unresectable, locally advanced pancreatic cancer is an important achievement. We are pleased to have been able to contribute to the PANOVA-3 study, and we look forward to working with Novocure to bring this therapy to patients as soon as possible.”
