Tagrisso granted Priority Review in the US for patients with unresectable, Stage III EGFR-mutated lung cancer
Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “Priority Review of Tagrisso in this early-stage curative setting is important for patients who currently have no targeted treatments available. We look forward to close collaboration with the FDA on an accelerated path to bring Tagrisso to patients as a potential new standard of care as quickly as possible. Tagrisso continues to serve patients as a backbone therapy in EGFR-mutated lung cancer, extending progression-free survival in the LAURA trial by more than three years and reinforcing the importance of testing for EGFR mutations at the time of diagnosis.”
