Stan Rogers Folk Festival 2024: 27 years of music and community | SaltWire #festival #music #ns - Swiss drugmaker Novartis said patients with a type of leukemia who took its Scemblix had a significantly better response and a lower dropout rate than those who received current standard-of-care drugs in a late-stage study with details presented on Friday.Related stories
The study tested Scemblix in newly diagnosed patients with the blood cancer chronic myeloid leukemia against a class of drugs called tyrosine-kinase inhibitors , such as Novartis' own Glivec, that turned the disease from a death sentence into a treatable condition in which many patients had good, long-lasting responses.
During the trial, just 5% of Scemblix patients discontinued treatment due to adverse side effects, compared to a dropout rate of 10% of those being treated with any of the TKIs, which can cause fatigue, depression, disrupted sleep, diarrhea, and other side effects.
