The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved an expanded use of Novartis' cancer drug Zykadia.
Zykadia may now be used as a first-line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors carry a specific enzyme identified through an FDA-approved test.
The drug first earned FDA approval in 2014 to treat metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients who did not respond to the cancer drug crizotinib.
