AstraZeneca PLC said Wednesday that trials on high-risk patients showed that the Evusheld drug provides significant protection against Covid-19.

The pharmaceutical company said that a single dose of Evusheld reduced the risk of progressing to severe Covid-19 or death by 50% in non-hospitalized patients with mild-to-moderate Covid-19. In those who received treatment within three days of symptom onset, the medicine reduced the risk by 88%.

The Tackle Phase 3 trial involved 903 adults across the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Japan.

"We are discussing the Tackle data with regulatory authorities and continue to progress submissions in both treatment and prophylaxis indications to help combat Covid-19 on all fronts," Executive Vice President Mene Pangalos said.

AstraZeneca PLC said Monday that its Covid-19 vaccine has been granted approval in the European Union as a third dose booster for adults.

The pharmaceutical company said that its Vaxzevria vaccine can now be used as a third dose booster in patients previously given a vaccine schedule of either Vaxzevria or other EU-approved vaccines.

"Although more than 65% of the global population has received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, there remains a significant challenge to ensure people receive both their primary vaccine schedule and third-dose booster, and healthcare professionals now have greater flexibility in their choice of vaccine," AstraZeneca said.

AstraZeneca PLC said Thursday that its treatment for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) Ultomiris met the primary endpoint in a Phase 3 clinical trial with a "statistically significant and clinically meaningful" reduction in the risk of relapse.

The Anglo-Swedish pharma giant said no relapse was observed in 58 patients during a treatment duration of 73 weeks.

"Every NMOSD relapse can have debilitating and irreversible consequences, so reducing relapses is critical," lead primary investigator in the trial Sean J. Pittock said.

The company said the data will be submitted to global health authorities as rapidly as possible.

AstraZeneca plans new US R&D hub as revenues rocket
Phil Taylor
April 29, 2022

AstraZeneca has revealed plans to set up a new strategic R&D hub in Cambridge, Massachusetts as it reported a massive increase in first-quarter revenues, driven by COVID-19 and oncology drugs and heart failure therapy Farxiga.

The new site will be at Kendall Square and will serve as the new corporate headquarters for Alexion – which is currently based across the Charles River in Boston’s Seaport District – as well as housing around 1,500 R&D staff from AZ and Alexion in a new purpose-built space.

The site is expected to be completed in 2026 and according to AZ will benefit from its close proximity to several major academic, pharma and biotech institutions, providing access to “future talent”.

Boston and Cambridge are a life sciences hotspot in the US, home to more than 1,000 R&D-based biotechnology companies, with Kendall Square having the greatest density.

News of the investment comes shortly after AZ completed its new headquarters across the Atlantic in Cambridge in the UK, which was built at a cost of around $1.3 billion, three times the original estimate when the project was announced in 2013.

“Today’s announcement is a milestone moment following the acquisition of Alexion in July 2021,” said AZ chief executive Pascal Soriot as the company reported first-quarter sales up 60% to $11.4 billion.

“Our combined company has already successfully leveraged internal scientific synergies, and this move will act as a catalyst for even more external collaboration and innovation,” he added.

The healthy sales increase was bolstered by the timing of orders for AZ’s COVID-19 vaccine Vaxzevria, which made $1.1 billion in the quarter but is expected to make less of a contribution in the remainder of the year.

Another $469 million from Evusheld (tixagevimab and cilgavimab), the first drug to be authorised for prevention of COVID-19 infections, although that cam in slightly below analyst expectations.

Soriot also highlighted to performance of Farxiga (dapagliflozin), AZ’s SGLT2 inhibit for diabetes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease, which made $1 billion in the quarter, with a higher-than-predicted rise of 60% over the same period of 2021.

AZ’s oncology franchise also put in a good showing, collectively rising 14% to $3.4 billion, with highly-anticipated new HER2 drug Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) almost doubling to $76 million in the quarter, with potential new indications promising to accelerate growth further.

There was a 20% gain for Alexion’s Ultomiris (ravulizumab) to $419 million, welcome news as the drug is a successor to successor to Soliris (eculizumab) which slipped 5% to $990 million.

Ultomiris has just become the first and only long-acting C5 inhibitor approved for generalised myasthenia gravis in the US.

AstraZeneca PLC said Wednesday that its Enhertu drug has been granted a breakthrough therapy designation in the U.S. for the treatment of an unresectable or metastic breast cancer.

The FTSE 100 pharma giant said that Enhertu has been now been granted five breakthrough therapy designations, including three in breast cancer and one in both lung and gastric cancers.

The trial showed significant improvement in survival, the company said.

AstraZeneca developed Enhertu with Japanese pharmaceutical company Daiichi Sankyo Co.
