US FDA panel backs Genentech's breast cancer drug BETHESDA, Md., Sept 2 (Reuters) - A unique biotech drug to combat advanced breast cancer was recommended for approval Wednesday by federal advisers. The drug, Genentech (GNE - news) Inc's Herceptin, targets the process that causes breast cancer by blocking the action of the HER2/neu gene, thus helping to keep tumors from growing. A panel of advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the therapy provided clinical benefits for many of the 25-30 percent of women with breast cancer who have HER2 tumors. They said the drug could be approved for use alone or in combination with other chemotherapies, but only after women had failed to improve on at least one other chemotherapy drug. They said it should not be used with Anthracycline-type chemotherapy drugs because of the potential for dangerous cardiac side effects The FDA is not bound by its advisory panel's recommendations, but usually follows them.
