Takeda announces voluntary withdrawal of lung cancer therapy
Oct 2 (Reuters) - Japan's Takeda Pharmaceutical said on Monday it will voluntarily withdraw its lung cancer therapy from the United States, where it had received an accelerated approval in 2021, after it failed to meet the main goal in a late-stage study.
U.S.-listed shares of the company fell about 6% to $14.39 in extended trading as the failed study meant the therapy did not fulfill the confirmatory data requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's accelerated approval nor the conditional marketing approvals granted in other countries.
In July, Takeda had said the study had been halted due to futility as it was unlikely to meet its goal. It also withdrew its application for marketing authorization in the European Union in 2022.
