Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, President & CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) announced today that new clinical study results on the company’s novel anticancer agent Halaven® (generic name: eribulin mesylate) will be presented during the 2012 CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS). The symposium will be held December 4-8, 2012, in San Antonio, Texas in the United States.
The studies highlight Eisai’s current and ongoing research efforts to establish the clinical benefits of Halaven and maximize the drug’s value. This year’s SABCS will also include an oral presentation on December 7 highlighting the results of a head-to-head study of Halaven versus capecitabine (Study 301) that was conducted in 1,102 patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who were previously treated with anthracyclines and taxanes with the aim of expanding Halaven’s contribution to patients at an earlier stage in the treatment of their disease. All studies to be presented highlight the company’s current oncology product portfolio strategy and research accomplishments in this field.
Eisai positions oncology as a key franchise area. The company will continue to create innovation in the development of new drugs based on cutting-edge cancer research, and in doing so seeks to make further contributions to address the diversified needs of, and increase the benefits provided to, patients and their families as well as healthcare providers.
