`FDA approves highly anticipated treatment for latestage breast cancer
`February 22, 2013 | By Eric Palmer
`
`At an earnings call last month, Roche ($RHHBY) CEO Severin Schwan crowed a
`bit about the Swiss company's future, pointing to drugs in the pipeline like its highly
`anticipated breast cancer treatment and potential blockbuster TDM1. Today, the
`FDA gave approval to the drug, which will be marketed as Kadcyla, for patients
`with HER2positive, latestage (metastatic) breast cancer. The drug will have an
`estimated monthly cost of $9,800, or about $94,000 for a full course of treatments,
`Forbes reports. As FierceBiotech points out, forecasts have put peak sales of the
`breakthrough antibody drug conjugate at between $2 billion and $5 billion. Roche
`has reported that in a Phase III study, the drug reduced the risk of death among
`patients by 32% compared to the standardofcare arm. Story | More
