…MAB fails again



Experimental Chemo Combo for Colon Cancer Disappoints. Again a targeted (this time) antibody-based drug (mab) fails!

Adding the drug cetuximab (brand name Erbitux) to standard chemotherapy after surgery for stage 3 colon cancer did not improve disease-free survival in patients, a new study concludes.

Surprised? No. It was expected. Which product fails next?
