FDA to Reevaluate Six Accelerated Approvals of Cancer Treatments

The FDA’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee will hold a public meeting from April 27 to 29, 2020, to reevaluate six treatments that were previously granted accelerated approval and have since reported results that failed to verify clinical benefit. The six indications to be discussed include atezolizumab (two indications), pembrolizumab (three indications), and nivolumab (one indication).
