AstraZeneca PLC said Friday that its Tagrisso drug has been approved in the European Union to treat early stages of lung cancer.

The pharmaceutical company said the results from the Adaura Phase 3 trial showed that Tagrisso reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death by 80%.

Tagrisso has now been approved in more than 50 countries, including the U.S. and China, AstraZeneca said.
