Adding a white-blood cell boosting treatment from Sanofi (SAN) to Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY)s (BMY) melanoma drug Yervoy helped patients with advanced skin cancer live longer and lessened side effects, a study found. In the trial of 245 patients led by researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, 68.9 percent of patients who got Yervoy, designed to spur the immune system to attack cancer cells, and the Sanofi (SAN) drug, GM-CSF, were alive one year later, compared to 52.9 percent of those who got Yervoy alone. The results, presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting, show that two immune-stimulating drugs may be better than one in treating melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. While the finding needs to be confirmed in a larger study before the combination is routinely practiced, it offers a first, hopeful glimpse into a potential new approach for battling the disease that kills 9,500 people each year. It is very interesting and promising new data, said Jedd Wolchok, an oncologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, who was not involved in the study. I do think the effect is real. The finding is also the latest in a series … Continue reading
