AstraZeneca said Thursday that its and MSD's Lynparza cancer
treatment had been approved in the U.S. for the treatment of
metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or mCRPC.
The Anglo-Swedish pharma giant said Lynparza, in combination
with abiraterone and prednisone, reduced the risk of disease
progression or death by 76% versus abiraterone alone.
The company said the approval was based on a subgroup analysis
of the phase 3 PROpel trial.
This Lynparza combination is approved in the EU and several
other countries for the treatment of adult patients with mCRPC
based on the PROpel trial, it said.
AstraZeneca said that following this approval in the U.S. it
will receive a regulatory milestone payment from MSD, anticipated
to be booked as collaboration revenue by the company and confirmed
in the second quarter 2023 results.
