Gilead Sciences said a Phase 3 trial testing Trodelvy in certain
lung cancer patients failed to improve overall survival, results
that sent shares sharply lower.
Gilead agreed in 2022 to buy Trodelvy-maker Immunomedics for $21
billion.
In the Phase 3 trial, Gilead is evaluating Trodelvy versus
docetaxel in patients with metastatic or advanced non-small cell
lung cancer that had progressed on or after chemotherapy and
checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
Gilead said it did observe a numerical improvement in overall
survival favoring Trodelvy, but that the results didn't meet the
threshold of the primary endpoint.
Gilead said it plans to discuss the trial results with
regulators, and present the data at an upcoming medical
meeting.
