  • The P-III KATHERINE study met 1EP endpoints i.e. iDFS the time period to invasive breast cancer recurrence or death. No new safety signals were observed & included DFS & OS as 2EP
  • Kadcyla is an Ab-drug conjugate (ADC) for inducing CT into HER2-positive cancer cells- approved drug in 104 countries including the US and EU. Roche is licensing a technology for Kadcyla from ImmunoGen
