AstraZeneca PLC (AZN.LN) and Merck & Co. Inc. (MRK) said Wednesday that the European Commission has approved Lynparza as a monotherapy for the treatment of germline BRCA-mutated metastatic breast cancer.

AstraZeneca's executive vice president of oncology, Dave Fredrickson, said the approval enables Lynparza to provide patients throughout the EU with a targeted and oral chemotherapy-free treatment option for a difficult-to-treat cancer.

Advanced/metastatic breast cancer refers to Stage III and IV breast cancer, while BRCA are human genes that produce proteins responsible for repairing damaged DNA.
