Tagrisso plus chemo granted Priority Review in the US for patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC

Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “The FLAURA2 results reinforce Tagrisso as a backbone of standard of care in 1st-line EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer, providing patients with an additional nine months of median progression-free survival when combined with chemotherapy. This option is particularly important for patients with a poorer prognosis such as those with brain metastases. We look forward to working with the FDA on an accelerated timeline to bring this treatment regimen to patients as quickly as possible.”
