CHMP Backs Clearance Of AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso

By AstraZeneca | April 30, 2018

The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency has adopted a positive opinion, recommending a change to the terms of the Marketing Authorisation for Tagrisso (osimertinib) to include the 1st-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.

The recommendation is based on results from the Phase III FLAURA trial, which were presented at the European Society of Medical Oncology 2017 Congress and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Sean Bohen, Executive Vice President, Global Medicines Development and Chief Medical Officer at AstraZeneca, said: “This positive recommendation acknowledges Tagrisso’s potential as a new 1st-line standard of care for patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC in Europe.

It reflects the strength of the FLAURA data that show Tagrisso delivered a statistically-significant and clinically-meaningful improvement in progression-free survival over the EGFR-TKI comparator arm across all pre-specified patient subgroups, including those with or without central nervous system metastases.”
