Pfizer Oncology will present data from across its portfolio, including results from long-term follow-up of Aromasin® (exemestane tablets) in a study of early breast cancer, updated study results from a Phase 3 study of Sutent® (sunitinib malate) in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NET), and early-stage research of investigational agents PF-02341066 and figitumumab (CP-751,871) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These data, and over a dozen additional abstracts covering Pfizer agents, will be presented at the ECCO 15/ESMO 34 bi-annual meeting in Berlin, Germany from September 20 to September 24.
“Pfizer is conducting research to identify clinical benefits for targeted patient populations with investigational compounds like cMET/ALK inhibitor, while continuing to study drugs like Aromasin through their entire life cycle to ensure we provide maximum support and information to patients and healthcare providers about our cancer products,” said Dr. Mace Rothenberg, senior vice president of clinical development and medical affairs for Pfizer’s Oncology Business Unit.
Featured Data Highlights
At the meeting, Pfizer will present new 91-month median follow-up data from the Intergroup Exemestane Study (IES) study (Abstract #5010; September 22) which is evaluating the clinical benefits of switching women to Aromasin after two to three years of tamoxifen versus continuing women on tamoxifen for a full five years of therapy. IES, a randomized, double-blind, multinational trial of postmenopausal women with hormone sensitive early breast cancer, enrolled 4,724 patients. IES is a landmark trial with the longest follow-up of endocrine treatment in the adjuvant switch setting.
