Most cancer drugs approved in Europe from 2009-2013 weren’t backed by sufficient scientific evidence that they work, according to a new study. At the time of approval, around a third of European approvals were backed up by robust evidence from clinical trials showing improved survival, and 1 in 10 approvals followed evidence that the treatment improved quality of life. After further evidence was gathered around half of approvals had evidence of improving survival or quality of life.
