Tagrisso significantly improves overall survival

Tagrisso significantly improves overall survival in the Phase III FLAURA trial for 1st-line EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer

Tagrisso is the only medicine demonstrating statistically-significant overall survival benefit in this setting. Also increased the time patients with central nervous
system metastases lived without disease progression

Farxiga met primary endpoint in landmark Phase III

AstraZeneca today announced positive results from the landmark Phase III DAPA-HF trial which showed that Farxiga (dapagliflozin) met the primary composite endpoint with a statistically-significant and clinically-meaningful reduction of cardiovascular death or the worsening of heart failure (defined as hospitalisation or an urgent heart failure visit), compared to placebo. The trial was conducted in patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) on standard of care treatment, including those with and without type-2 diabetes

Update on the Phase III NEPTUNE trial

AstraZeneca today announced final overall survival (OS) results from the Phase III NEPTUNE trial, a randomised, open-label, multi-centre, global trial of Imfinzi (durvalumab) in combination with tremelimumab, an anti-CTLA4 antibody, vs. standard-of-care (SoC) platinum-based chemotherapy in previously-untreated Stage IV (metastatic) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The trial was performed in an all-comers population, and the primary analysis population was patients with a high tumour mutational burden (TMB). TMB is a measurement of the number of mutations within the genome (DNA) of a tumour, and tumours with high levels of TMB may be more visible to the immune system.1,2

And the OS was not improved by the new treatment versus SoC. They say they will now look in detail at the data and see if there were any sub groups that showed improvements with the new treatment.

AZN powers on. A big slice of luck here, by all accounts:

Due to heart complications caused by diabetes drugs in the past, regulators forced the drugmaker to conduct a cardiovascular safety study to ensure that Farxiga--which forces the kidney to remove glucose from the blood to and expel it in urine--wasn't dangerous. The trial revealed that not only was Farxiga harmless, it actually improved heart function.

My first purchase of AZN shares was on 17 Nov 2009, buying at 2732p ps. My average purchase price since then, having topped up and top sliced periodically, but no more, is 4468p ps. I intend holding on to my shares going forward.

I may buy back in if I see an opportunity. They seem a bit pricey, given the dividend cover, etc.

A happy holder with a book cost of 1914p. AZN is 6.7% of my folio now.

I did trim in April, but the proceeds went into Mastercard.

Best wishes

Mark.

Divestment of omeprazole (proton pump inhibitor for GRD, ulcers and the like):
www.investegate.co.uk/article.aspx?id=2 ... 2876O&fe=1

Financial considerations
Cheplapharm will pay AstraZeneca approximately $243 million on completion of the agreement, plus sales-contingent milestones of up to $33 million in 2021 and 2022. Income arising from the upfront payment will be reported in the Company's financial statements in 2019 as Other Operating Income. In 2018, Losec sales in the countries covered by this agreement were $98 million, the majority of which were in Emerging Markets. The agreement does not change the Company's financial guidance for 2019. As there were no closing considerations to the transaction, the agreement became effective upon signing.



Update on PT010 in COPD:
www.investegate.co.uk/article.aspx?id=2 ... 2872O&fe=1

AstraZeneca today announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a complete response letter regarding the New Drug Application (NDA) for PT010 (budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate), an inhaled triple-combination therapy and potential new medicine for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).



Which I think means the FDA have turned down the new drug application for PT010 and given their reasons why and what AZN need to do now.

Fasenra approved in the US for self-administration

AstraZeneca today announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the self-administration of Fasenra (benralizumab) in a pre-filled, single-use auto-injector (the Fasenra Pen).

The approval is supported by data from the Phase III GRECO trial and the Phase I AMES trial. The safety and tolerability of Fasenra in these trials were consistent with the established profile of the medicine.
