New York Oncology Hematology has played a significant role in the US Food and Drug Administration’s recent approval of a new breast cancer treatment.
Talzenna (talazoparib), a new PARP inhibitor for the treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated (gBRCAm) HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, was approved by the FDA earlier this month.
At NYOH, Dr. Karen Tedesco led the study, also known as the EMBRACA Trial, as Principal Investigator. Our multi-site research team enrolled four patients, who participated in the national clinical research trial.
Congratulations to Dr. Tedesco and to our patients for helping develop the next generation of breast cancer treatments.
