The FDA rejected the application to license Krebiozen as a cancer treatment, citing that sponsors failed to prove the drug is a hormone eligible for marketing under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The action does not decide the drug’s effectiveness. Dr. Steven Durovic of Chicago led the filing, first submitted in 1954 and resubmitted in 1961, with plans to pursue appeals and further scientific review.
