A new drug regimen for certain types of pancreatic cancer recently received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration — the first new medication in nearly a decade. Onivyde , an injectable medication made by Ipsen, has been approved for use along with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and leucovorin as a regimen for patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma .
Dr. Peter Hosein, M.D., associate director of clinical research at the University of Miami’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Pancreatic Cancer Research Institute, also commented on the new approval. 'Pancreatic cancer is a deadly disease where meaningful progress is sorely needed in prevention, early detection and treatment to improve outcomes,' he told Fox News Digital. Onivyde is a new formulation of an old drug that is 'almost identical,' Hosein said.
