AstraZeneca didn\u2019t say how much longer patients lived overall and the trial is continuing because the data isn\u2019t fully mature yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tThe results potentially validate Astra\u2019s decision to pay as much as $6 billion for the right to develop the medicine with Daiichi Sankyo Co. and its bet to revive growth a decade ago by building a pipeline of oncology drugs. The treatment could garner as much as $18 billion in sales, according to Jefferies analysts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tScientists and doctors have been trying to find a more targeted approach to chemotherapy for decades in an effort to move away from the current catch-all method that involves blasting the whole body and killing good cells as well as bad. Astra\u2019s drug &#8211; known as datopotamab deruxtecan, or Dato-DXd &#8211; takes a more potent chemo directly to the infected cells to kill the cancer while sparing the healthy cells.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>First Published: <!-- -->Jul 03 2023 | 1:06 PM<!-- --> <!-- -->IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.business-standard.com\/world-news\/astrazeneca-s-cancer-drug-shows-more-potential-over-chemotherapy-study-123070300337_1.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; By Thomas Mulier&#13; \u00a0 &#13; An AstraZeneca Plc cancer medicine showed a statistically significant improvement over standard chemotherapy in a high-level study.&#13; \u00a0 &#13; The drug helped patients with the most common form of lung cancer live longer without worsening compared with standard chemotherapy, the UK drugmaker said Monday.
