AstraZeneca Says Combination Liver Cancer Therapy Meets Primary Endpoint in Phase 3 Study

MT Newswires Live06-02 20:50

AstraZeneca (AZN) said Tuesday its phase 3 trial showed that Imfinzi combined with Imjudo, with or without lenvatinib and transarterial chemoembolisation, improved outcomes in patients with unresectable liver cancer eligible for embolisation.

The company said the study met its primary endpoint, showing a statistically significant reduction in risk of disease progression or death versus standard therapy alone.

The drugmaker said the combination therapy with lenvatinib reduced the risk by 30%, with median progression-free survival of 13 months compared with 9.8 months for standard therapy alone.

The therapy also showed improvement in progression-free and overall survival, though overall survival results were not formally significant at this interim analysis, the company added.
