Dec 26 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
on Tuesday declined to grant traditional approval to Amgen's
AMGN.O Lumakras for treating lung cancer patients with a
specific gene mutation, but did not withdraw the drug's existing
accelerated approval status.
Lumakras was approved by the FDA in 2021 under an
accelerated pathway, with confirmatory data a condition for
gaining traditional approval.
