Relay disclosed six and nine-month PFS of 64.1% and 60.1%, respectively..Truqap currently takes on Novartis' Piqray for the market. The fee of level 3 hyperglycemia is a variable that notifies selections between the drugs. 7 of the 355 receivers of Truqap in a stage 3 test had quality 3 hyperglycemia, causing a regularity of 2%.
