Late-Breaking Analysis Demonstrates Characteristics Associated with Long-Term Overall Survival ...

  • Novocure shared findings from the Phase 3 PANOVA-3 study conducted in Baar, Switzerland, demonstrating that Tumor Treating Fields therapy, combined with chemotherapy, significantly extended overall survival in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
  • The trial tested TTFields therapy combined with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel after pancreatic cancer treatment options remained limited for inoperable cases.
  • Patients receiving TTFields had a median overall survival of 16.2 months versus 14.2 months with chemotherapy alone, alongside longer pain-free survival and maintained quality of life.
  • The median overall survival improvement was 2.0 months with a hazard ratio of 0.82 and a statistically significant p-value of 0.039 as reported by lead investigator Vincent Picozzi.
  • Novocure plans to submit data to the FDA in late 2025 to support regulatory approval, suggesting TTFields could become a standard treatment for this challenging cancer.
