AbbVie’s Rova-T: Can Label Expansion Make It a Blockbuster Drug?
The company will be launching its Phase 3 TAHOE study to compare Rova-T with topotecan, the only therapy in second line SCLC approved by the FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration). AbbVie also aims to establish the importance of targeting tumor-initiating cells in treating solid tumors. Beyond 2020, the company plans to launch the MERU study, which will enable Rova-T to expand its label in the first line SCLC maintenance indication.
