Key: RIA - Respiratory, Inflammation & Autoimmunity, CVMD - Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disease, ING - Infection,
Neuroscience & Gastrointestinal 
 
1.   Respiratory, Inflammation & Autoimmunity (RIA) 
 
Five potential medicines in RIA remain in pivotal trials or under registration. AstraZeneca's Respiratory portfolio
includes a range of differentiated potential medicines such as novel combinations, biologics and devices for the treatment
of asthma and COPD. The pipeline also includes a number of potential medicines in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases
within areas such as psoriasis, systemic lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. 
 
a) Symbicort (COPD) 
 
During the period, AstraZeneca obtained approval for Symbicort pMDI (pressurised metered dose inhaler device) in the EU.
Symbicort pMDI is now indicated for use in adults, aged 18 and older, for the symptomatic treatment of COPD in patients
with a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) below 70% of the predicted normal (post-bronchodilator) level and an
exacerbation history, despite regular bronchodilator therapy. This development further augments Symbicort's prevailing
approvals in the EU. 
 
b) Bevespi Aerosphere (COPD) 
 
During the period the FDA approved Bevespi Aerosphere (glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate) inhalation for the
long-term, maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and/or
emphysema. Bevespi Aerosphere is the first LAMA/LABA medicine to be delivered in a pMDI and the first medicine using
AstraZeneca's unique Co-Suspension technology. 
 
c) Zurampic (gout) 
 
On 19 February 2016, Zurampic (lesinurad) 200mg tablets received marketing authorisation in the EU in combination with a
XOI for the adjunctive treatment of hyperuricemia in adult gout patients who have not achieved target serum uric-acid
levels with an XOI alone. The EU approval of Zurampic was based on data from three pivotal Phase III trials, CLEAR1, CLEAR2
and CRYSTAL, which represented the largest clinical-trial data set of gout patients (n=1,537 total) treated with
combination urate-lowering therapy. 
 
d) Tralokinumab (atopic dermatitis) 
 
A Phase II trial of tralokinumab in atopic dermatitis was completed in the period. Top-line results from the trial showed
that at week 12, a statistically-significant improvement from baseline in EASI score (Eczema Area and Severity Index) was
observed in the two highest tralokinumab dosage arms tested compared to the placebo arm. Significant improvements in DLQI
(dermatology life quality index) were also observed. No safety issues were detected. Full trial results will be disclosed
at a future medical congress. 
 
e) MEDI-551 (neuromyelitis optica) 
 
In the period AstraZeneca's global biologics research and development arm, MedImmune, obtained Orphan Drug Designation from
the FDA for MEDI-551, a CD19 monoclonal antibody, for the treatment of patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO), as well as
NMO spectrum disorders. NMO is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, in which the
body's immune system attacks healthy cells most commonly present in the optic nerves and spinal cord, resulting in severe
damage. MEDI-551 is currently in Phase IIb clinical development. 
 
2.   Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disease (CVMD) 
 
AstraZeneca's CVMD therapy area focuses on ways to reduce morbidity, mortality and organ damage by addressing multiple risk
factors across cardiovascular (CV) disease, diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) indications. This patient-centric
approach is reinforced by science-led life-cycle management programmes and technologies, including early research into
regenerative methods. 
 
a) Brilinta/Brilique (CV disease) 
 
On 19 February 2016, the European Commission granted marketing authorisation for Brilique for long-term prevention of
cardiovascular death, heart attack and stroke for patients with a history of heart attack. The EU approval was based on the
results from the PEGASUS TIMI-54 trial, a large-scale outcomes trial involving more than 21,000 patients. PEGASUS TIMI-54
investigated Brilinta/Brilique tablets plus low-dose aspirin, compared to placebo plus low dose aspirin, for the long-term
prevention of death from CV disease, heart attack and stroke in patients who had experienced a heart attack one to three
years prior to trial enrollment. 
 
On 23 March 2016, the SOCRATES trial top-line results read out. The trial assessed the efficacy of Brilinta/Brilique 90mg
tablets twice daily when compared to aspirin 100mg once daily in patients with acute ischaemic stroke or transient
ischaemic attack. Fewer events were observed on Brilinta/Brilique versus the comparator in the overall trial population;
the trend however did not reach statistical significance and the primary efficacy endpoint of time to first occurrence of
any event from the composite of stroke (ischaemic or haemorrhagic), myocardial infarction (MI) and death was not met.
AstraZeneca does not anticipate that the results will support a regulatory submission for the stroke indication. 
 
On 29 March 2016, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) updated their
treatment-guidelines for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy. Brilinta is now
preferred over clopidogrel for the management of patients with ACS who have received a coronary stent and in non-ST
Elevation ACS patients treated with medical therapy alone. This update was also the first time that the ACC and AHA have
recommended Brilinta over clopidogrel for patients who have experienced an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The
update was also the first US guideline to provide the medical community with insights drawn from the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial.
The guideline supported continuation of P2Y12 therapy beyond 12 months in prior MI patients who are not at high bleeding
risk. 
 
b) Onglyza and Kombiglyze XR (type-2 diabetes) 
 
In early April 2016, the Company received a communication from the FDA on proposed label changes related to a potential
risk for an increase in heart failure in the SAVOR outcomes trial for Onglyza (saxagliptin). The Company initially
submitted the trial findings to the FDA in February 2014. The SAVOR trial met the primary safety endpoint, demonstrating
that Onglyza did not increase the composite risk for CV death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal ischaemic stroke when added to a
patient's current standard of care (with or without other anti-diabetic therapies), as compared to placebo. To reflect the
recent communication from the FDA, the Onglyza label was updated accordingly and the FDA's review of the data is now
complete. 
 
c) Type-2 diabetes outcomes trials 
 
Two significant type-2 diabetes outcomes trials are underway and fully recruited. Details and updates on those two trials
are listed below: 
 
 Medicine         Trial    Mode of Action   Number of Patients  Primary Endpoint                                                        Timeline                                                
 Bydureon         EXSCEL   GLP-1 agonist    ~15,000             Time to first occurrence of CV death, non-fatal MI or non-fatal stroke  2018(final analysis)

*Includes ~10,000 patients who have had no prior index event (primary prevention) and ~7,000 patients who have suffered an
index event (secondary prevention). 
 
3.   Oncology 
 
AstraZeneca has a deep-rooted heritage in Oncology and offers a quickly-growing portfolio of new medicines that has the
potential to transform patients' lives and the Company's future. With at least six new medicines to be launched between
2014 and 2020 and a broad pipeline of small molecules and biologics in development, the Company is committed to advancing
New Oncology as one of AstraZeneca's six Growth Platforms focused on lung, ovarian, breast and blood cancers. In addition
to core capabilities, the Company is actively pursuing innovative collaborations and investments that accelerate the
delivery of AstraZeneca's strategy, as illustrated by the Company's investment in Acerta Pharma in haematology. 
 
By harnessing the power of four scientific platforms - immuno-oncology (IO), the genetic drivers of cancer and resistance,
DNA damage response and antibody drug conjugates - and by championing the development of personalised combinations,
AstraZeneca has the vision to redefine cancer treatment and, one day, eliminate cancer as a cause of death. 
 
a) Faslodex (breast cancer) 
 
AstraZeneca announced on 2 March 2016 that the FDA had approved a new indication expanding the use of Faslodex, to include
use in combination with palbociclib. The combination use is for the treatment of women with hormone receptor-positive,
human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose cancer has progressed after
endocrine therapy. The approval was based on data from the Phase III PALOMA-3 trial, which met the primary endpoint of
progression-free survival. 
 
b) Tagrisso (lung cancer) 
 
On 14 April 2016 AstraZeneca reported new Phase I extended follow-up data on Tagrisso in both 1st- and 2nd-line treatment
of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at the European Lung Cancer Conference. Late-breaker presentations
reinforced the efficacy and safety profile for Tagrisso previously seen in the AURA clinical-trials programme. 
 
The FLAURA Phase III trial for 1st-line use of Tagrisso in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated NSCLC randomised
its last patient during the period. Data is expected in 2017 for potential regulatory submission in the earlier metastatic
setting, compared to the prevailing 2nd-line use of the medicine. 
 
On 29 March 2016 the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved Tagrisso 80mg once-daily tablets for the
treatment of patients with EGFR T790M mutation-positive inoperable or recurrent NSCLC that is resistant to EGFR tyrosine
kinase inhibitor therapy. The approval follows the EU and US approvals in late 2015. Given the high prevalence of EGFR
mutations (30-40% of lung cancer patients) and, subsequently, T790M mutations in Asia, Japan is anticipated to be a
proportionally significant market for Tagrisso. 
 
During the period, the Company decided not to restart enrolment of patients into CAURAL, a Phase III trial assessing
Tagrisso in combination with durvalumab as a potential second and later-line treatment for patients with EGFRm T790M NSCLC.
The decision not to restart enrolment reflects the view that the trial design no longer offers the best setting to assess
this combination. There has been no change in the safety or data findings following the suspension of enrolment into the
trial in October 2015. 
 
On 2 March 2016, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, a US guideline-setting organisation, included Tagrisso in its
guidelines for the treatment of patients with brain metastasises who have progressed on 1st-line therapies. This important
recommendation will expand the utilisation of Tagrisso to patients with limited treatment options. 
 
c) Tremelimumab (mesothelioma) 
 
On 29 February 2016, the Company announced that DETERMINE, a Phase IIb clinical trial of 10mg/kg tremelimumab monotherapy
in 2nd or 3rd-line treatment of unresectable malignant mesothelioma, did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival.
It was encouraging however that the safety profile of this potential medicine was consistent with expectations. 
 
The results did not have an impact on ongoing combination trials with tremelimumab at the ten-fold lower dose of 1mg/kg
every four weeks. Mesothelioma remains a difficult-to-treat disease with no approved medicine beyond 1st-line treatment. 
 
d) Durvalumab (multiple cancers) 
 
Monotherapy
Durvalumab continues to be the cornerstone in the IO pipeline and is currently being tested in monotherapy, combination
therapy and through numerous collaborations. Current combination trials include both large and small molecules, as well as
chemotherapy. Through a broad and diverse development programme, the Company is committed to finding the patients who
benefit most from unique combinations and targeted approaches using multiple biomarkers. 
 
In the period, Breakthrough Therapy Designation was granted for durvalumab for the treatment of patients with programmed
death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive inoperable or metastatic urothelial bladder cancer, whose tumour has progressed during or
after the current standard of care. This designation was based on early clinical data from a large cohort Phase I/II trial
(Study 1108), which has now enrolled more than 1,000 patients with various cancers. 
 
Combination therapy 
 
Pre-clinical data have suggested that targeting both PD-L1 and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) may
have additive or synergistic effects and, to date, data from the combination treatment with durvalumab and tremelimumab
have demonstrated anti-tumour activity in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, irrespective of PD-L1 status.
New data from the Phase Ib durvalumab + tremelimumab (durva + treme) combination trial in NSCLC (Study 006) were published
on 5 February 2016 in TheLancet Oncology. The data cut-off of 1 June 2015 was the same date as per the Society for
Immunotherapy of Cancer publication on 6 November 2015. This was, however, a more mature and robust data set of confirmed
responses, with a longer follow-up period. 
 
In patients receiving the combination at the dose chosen for Phase III (durvalumab 20mg/kg Q4W equivalent + tremelimumab
1mg/kg Q4W), the overall response rate was 29% in patients with PD-L1 negative tumours (<25% tumour staining) and 40% in
patients with zero tumour staining. Disease control was 43% and 50% respectively, with a manageable safety profile, given
the advanced disease setting.

e) Acalabrutinib (blood cancers) 
 
On 25 February 2016, the European Medicines Agency adopted and approved three positive opinions recommending acalabrutinib
for Orphan Drug Designation in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)/small lymphotytic lymphoma (SLL), mantle cell lymphoma
(MCL) and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia, WM). 
 
Acalabrutinib has the potential for regulatory submission in the second half of the year in one type of blood cancer, for
which it is currently being assessed in Phase II/III trials. 
 
f) Early-stage pipeline 
 
During the period, the Company initiated a Phase I trial for monalizumab, a humanised, monoclonal antibody targeting
natural-killer cell NKG2A. This potential medicine is being developed with Innate Pharma SA under a co-development and
commercialisation agreement. The trial is a combination with durvalumab and will explore the medicine's safety,
tolerability and anti-tumour activity in solid tumours.

a) MEDI8852 (hospitalised influenza) 
 
On 7 March 2016, AstraZeneca's global biologics research and development arm, MedImmune, received Fast Track Designation
from the FDA for its potential new medicine MEDI8852, a human, monoclonal antibody for the treatment of patients
hospitalised with type-A strain influenza. MEDI8852 is currently being evaluated in a Phase Ib/IIa clinical trial to assess
the safety and efficacy of a single intravenous dose in combination with oseltamivir and as a monotherapy in adult patients
with confirmed acute, uncomplicated influenza caused by type-A strains. 
 
b) AZD3293 (Alzheimer's disease) 
 
On 8 April 2016, AstraZeneca announced that AMARANTH, a Phase II/III trial of AZD3293, an oral BACE inhibitor in
development as a potential treatment for early Alzheimer's disease, will move into the Phase III portion of the trial. 
 
The transition into Phase III will also trigger the start of an additional Phase III trial with AZD3293. DAYBREAK will
focus on patients with mild Alzheimer's disease and is scheduled to begin enrolling patients in the second half of the
year. Emerging evidence suggests that cognitive decline precedes and predicts a functional decline in Alzheimer's disease,
particularly during earlier stages of the disease. Accordingly, AMARANTH will be amended and DAYBREAK will use a single,
cognitive endpoint, ADAS-cog13.
