Reportedly, Amgen (AMGN) and AstraZeneca’s (AZN) experimental asthma drug tezepelumab has been granted a speedy review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for potential approval. The drug displayed promising results to reduce asthma attacks in patients with uncontrolled and severe forms of the respiratory condition along with the potential to use against different triggers.
“Severe asthma is a challenging, complex disease for physicians and millions of patients and has a high unmet medical need,” stated Amgen senior executive David Reese.
The companies informed that the fast-tracked review follows their application to the U.S. regulator. The decision on the drug is expected in the first quarter of next year.
