As part of the ongoing randomised, controlled clinical trials of the AstraZeneca Oxford coronavirus vaccine, AZD1222, a standard review process has been triggered, leading to the voluntary pause of vaccination across all trials to allow an independent committee to review the safety data of a single event of an unexplained illness that occurred in the UK Phase III trial.
Nine CEOs sign historic pledge to continue to make the safety and well-being of vaccinated individuals the top priority in development of the first COVID-19 vaccines
AstraZeneca will present new developments in pursuit of its ambition to eliminate cancer as a cause of death at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Virtual Congress 2020, 19 to 21 September.
A post-hoc analysis of the Phase III ETHOS trial showed a consistent benefit of Breztri Aerosphere (budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate) in reducing the rate of moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations across all seasons compared with Bevespi Aerosphere (glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate) in patients with moderate to very severe disease.
AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi (durvalumab) has been approved in the European Union for the 1st-line treatment of adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) in combination with a choice of chemotherapies, etoposide plus either carboplatin or cisplatin.
Trial enrolling up to 30,000 adults aged 18 years or over to assess safety, efficacy and immunogenicity of AZD1222 for the prevention of COVID-19 AZD1222 supported by safety and immunogenicity across all adult age groups
AstraZeneca is implementing a clinical development program that will enrol in excess of 50,000 volunteers, including 30,000 in the US, in Latin America, Asia, Europe, Russia and Africa that will provide data for ethnically diverse populations.
Detailed results from the ground-breaking Phase III DAPA-CKD trial showed that AstraZeneca’s Farxiga (dapagliflozin) on top of standard of care reduced the composite measure of worsening of renal function or risk of cardiovascular (CV) or renal death by 39% compared to placebo (p<0.0001) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stages 2-4 and elevated urinary albumin excretion.
AstraZeneca will present the highly anticipated detailed results from the ground-breaking Phase III DAPA-CKD trial of Farxiga in chronic kidney disease (CKD) at ESC Congress 2020 – The Digital Experience.
