NEW YORK — Pfizer announced the results of its late-stage clinical trial of Xalkori (crizotinib).
The drug maker confirmed that its Profile 1007 study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating that the drug significantly improved progression-free survival in previously treated patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer, compared with those treated with pemetrexed or docetaxel. The study also marked the first randomized phase-3 study in ALK-positive advanced NSCLC patients, Pfizer said.
