AstraZeneca PLC (AZN.LN) said Friday that a supplemental
biologics license application and granted priority review for the
Imfinzi drug, which fights against untreated extensive-stage
small-cell lung cancer, has been accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.
The drug maker said a prescription-drug user fee act date--the
deadline for the FDA to review the application--is set for the
first quarter of 2020.
Small-cell lung cancer is an aggressive, fast-growing form of
lung cancer that recurs and progresses rapidly, the London-listed
company said.
