AstraZeneca’s supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) has been accepted by the FDA and given Priority Review for treating adult patients with unresectable, Stage III EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after chemoradiotherapy. This decision is based on the encouraging results of the Phase III LAURA trial, which showed that TAGRISSO extended median progression-free survival by more than three years compared to placebo. The trial data highlighted a significant 84% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death. In addition to Priority Review, TAGRISSO received Breakthrough Therapy Designation, a status that speeds up the review process for promising treatments aimed at addressing serious medical needs. The FDA is anticipated to make a decision in the fourth quarter of 2024, potentially making TAGRISSO a new standard of care for these patients.

Announcement
Positive results from the LAURA Phase III trial showed AstraZeneca's TAGRISSO® (osimertinib)demonstrated a statistically significant and highly clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) for patients with unresectable, Stage III epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have exon 19 deletions or exon 21 (L858R) mutations, after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) compared to placebo after CRT.
AI Summary
Positive results from the LAURA Phase III trial show that AstraZeneca’s TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) offers a significant benefit for patients with unresectable, Stage III EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the trial, patients whose tumors have exon 19 deletions or exon 21 (L858R) mutations experienced a remarkable improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) after chemoradiotherapy. Specifically, those treated with TAGRISSO had a median PFS of 39.1 months compared to only 5.6 months for patients receiving a placebo—an 84% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death. These results were statistically significant and consistent across all patient subgroups. The data from the LAURA trial suggest that TAGRISSO could become a new standard of care, extending the time patients live without disease progression in this challenging setting.

AstraZeneca and Amgen' announced positive results
AI Summary
AstraZeneca and Amgen have announced positive Phase III WAYPOINT trial results for TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab-ekko) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. The trial showed that TEZSPIRE significantly reduced nasal polyp size, eased nasal congestion, and lessened the need for surgery compared to placebo. Improvements were observed as early as week two and maintained through week 52, with dramatic decreases in systemic corticosteroid use.
Notably, TEZSPIRE nearly eliminated the need for subsequent nasal polyp surgery, reducing surgery rates by 98%, while corticosteroid use dropped by 88%. This partnership highlights TEZSPIRE’s promise as a less invasive treatment that can improve the quality of life for patients with CRSwNP by reducing chronic symptoms and surgical intervention needs.

AI Summary
AstraZeneca announced that Voydeya (danicopan tablets) has been approved in Canada as an add-on treatment for adult patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) who continue to experience residual hemolytic anemia due to extravascular hemolysis (EVH). This approval allows Voydeya to be used alongside ravulizumab or eculizumab, offering a new option for the 10-20% of PNH patients who do not fully respond to standard C5 inhibitors. The decision was supported by the results of the ALPHA Phase III trial, which showed that adding Voydeya improved hemoglobin levels, reduced anemia, and alleviated fatigue.
This new oral Factor D inhibitor provides hope for patients by enhancing disease control and quality of life, especially for those still facing the challenges of significant EVH despite ongoing treatment with ravulizumab or eculizumab.
