Merck's Cancer Drug Zolinza Approved

The FDA has approved Zolinza, Merck's first new cancer drug in about 20 years. The drug has been approved to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

While the market as a treatment for the cancer, also called CTCL, is limited, Merck is studying the drug as a tumor-fighting treatment in many other cancers, including of the breast and lung. Additional approvals from the FDA could vastly expand the market for the drug, also known as vorinostat.
