Cancer drug to get quick review

Sonus Pharmaceuticals Inc. said U.S. regulators would accelerate their review of the company’s experimental cancer drug, a more convenient version of the widely used treatment Taxol.

Sonus Pharmaceuticals Inc. said on Wednesday U.S. regulators would accelerate their review of the company’s experimental cancer drug, a more convenient version of the widely used treatment Taxol.

SONUS IS testing its version of the drug for a range of cancers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted the “fast-track” review for a category of cancers that includes bladder cancer.

Fast-track review allows the agency to start reviewing data from clinical trials of a drug before the entire marketing application is complete.
