(IN BRIEF) AstraZeneca will present significant cancer research at the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress. Highlights include new data on the effectiveness of Imfinzi in bladder cancer, a novel biomarker for advanced lung cancer, and the potential of antibody drug conjugates to replace traditional chemotherapy. AstraZeneca’s presentations will underscore its commitment to advancing cancer care through innovative therapies and technologies.

(PRESS RELEASE) CAMBRIDGE, 3-Sep-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — AstraZeneca is set to showcase significant advancements in cancer care at the upcoming World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024. The company will present over 130 abstracts, including five Presidential Symposia, featuring breakthrough research from its diverse oncology portfolio.

Key highlights include the presentation of data from the NIAGARA Phase III trial, demonstrating the impact of a perioperative Imfinzi-based regimen in bladder cancer, and the introduction of a novel computational pathology biomarker for TROP2, which enhances patient selection in advanced lung cancer. AstraZeneca will also reveal promising results from the TROPION-Lung01 trial, showing the potential of datopotamab deruxtecan to replace traditional chemotherapy in certain lung cancer settings.

Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President of Oncology R&D at AstraZeneca, emphasized the company’s commitment to revolutionizing cancer treatment by integrating advanced technologies and therapies to improve patient outcomes. Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President of the Oncology Business Unit, highlighted the potential of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) and immunotherapy to transform cancer care.
