Eli Lilly's Olomorasib Receives FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Pancreatic Cancer
Eli Lilly (LLY) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted breakthrough therapy designation to olomorasib as a monotherapy for treating adult patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who have undergone at least one prior systemic treatment and possess a KRAS mutation. This regulatory milestone is based on preliminary clinical data showing promising efficacy in this patient population, which could expedite the drug's development and review process.
