REG - AstraZeneca PLC - AZN: Year-To-Date and Q3 2017 Results Announcement <Origin Href="QuoteRef">AZN.L</Origin> - Part 3

- Part 3: For the preceding part double click  ID:nRSI9871Vb 

of a second Complete Response Letter from the US FDA, as announced on 17 March 2017. During the period,
the Company made further progress in addressing the manufacturing deficiencies identified by the FDA inspection and expects
to be able to accommodate a new manufacturing inspection in due course. 
 
e) Roxadustat (anaemia) 
 
During the period, the Company and its partner FibroGen Inc. (Fibrogen) announced the regulatory submission of an NDA for
roxadustat with the China FDA, concluding the rolling submission initiated in Q4 2016. The NDA was based on two
Fibrogen-led Phase III trials, conducted in China, that met their primary efficacy endpoints in January 2017 respectively.
If approved, roxadustat will be a first-in-class medicine, with China being the first approval country, ahead of other
major markets. 
 
RESPIRATORY 
 
AstraZeneca's Respiratory portfolio is aimed at transforming the treatment of asthma and COPD through combination inhaled
therapies, biologics for the unmet medical needs of specific patient populations and an early pipeline focused on disease
modification. 
 
The growing range of medicines includes up to four anticipated launches between 2017 and 2020. The capability in inhalation
technology spans both pressurised, metered-dose inhalers and dry-powder inhalers to serve patient needs, as well as the
innovative Aerosphere co-suspension Delivery Technology, a focus of AstraZeneca's future-platform development for
respiratory-disease combination therapies. 
 
a) Symbicort (COPD) 
 
On 11 September 2017, the US FDA approved Symbicort for the reduction of exacerbations in patients with COPD. The approval
was based on data that evaluated COPD exacerbations as the primary endpoint in two Phase IIIb trials (RISE and Study 003),
supported by data from two legacy Phase IIIa trials (SUN and SHINE). The approval meant Symbicort was indicated to reduce
exacerbations; the medicine is also used as a maintenance treatment for airflow obstruction in patients with COPD. The RISE
data was published in Respiratory Medicine. 
 
Following clinical data from the Phase III SYGMA trials, examining SymbicortTurbuhaler prescribed as an anti-inflammatory
reliever as needed in patients with mild asthma, the primary objectives in severe-asthma exacerbation rates and asthma
control were met. A full evaluation of the SYGMA primary and secondary objectives is ongoing and the results will be
presented at a forthcoming medical meeting. 
 
b) Duaklir (COPD) 
 
On 7 September 2017, AstraZeneca announced positive top-line results from the Phase III AMPLIFY trial for Duaklir, which
met its primary endpoints and demonstrated a statistically-significant improvement in lung function in patients with
moderate to very-severe stable COPD, compared to each individual component (either aclidinium bromide or formoterol). A
full evaluation of the AMPLIFY data is ongoing and further results will be presented at a forthcoming medical meeting. 
 
c) Bevespi (COPD) 
 
On 25 September 2017, the Company announced positive top-line results of the Phase III PINNACLE 4 trial. The trial
demonstrated a statistically-significant improvement in lung function as measured by trough forced expiratory volume in one
second (FEV1), compared to its monotherapy components and placebo, all administered twice daily via pMDI to patients with
moderate to very severe COPD. AstraZeneca will make regulatory submissions for BevespiAerosphere in Japan and China in
2018, based on data from PINNACLE 4, as well as previously-reported trials. 
 
During the period, the first patient was randomised into AERISTO, a head-to-head trial that is assessing the efficacy and
safety of Bevespi Aerosphere relative to the competing dual bronchodilator, a fixed-dose combination of umeclidinium and
vilanterol, for patients with moderate to very severe COPD. 
 
d) Benralizumab (severe, uncontrolled asthma) 
 
On 11 September 2017, results from a sub-group analysis of the SIROCCO and CALIMA Phase III trials were presented at the
aforementioned ERS Congress. The results confirmed benralizumab's efficacy and identified key predictive factors of those
patients suffering from severe, uncontrolled asthma that would respond best to treatment with benralizumab. The results
were published simultaneously in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. 
 
Benralizumab is under regulatory review in the US, EU, Japan and several other countries, with a US PDUFA date during the
final quarter of 2017. Regulatory decisions are anticipated elsewhere during H1 2018. 
 
e) Tralokinumab (severe, uncontrolled asthma) 
 
On 1 November 2017, AstraZeneca announced the top-line results of the Phase III STRATOS 2 and TROPOS trials for
tralokinumab, an anti-interleukin-13 human monoclonal antibody, in severe, uncontrolled asthma. 
 
STRATOS 1 and 2 were Phase III multi-centre, randomised, double-blinded, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trials designed
to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a regular, subcutaneous administration of tralokinumab for 52 weeks in adult and
adolescent patients with severe, inadequately-controlled asthma, despite treatment with inhaled corticosteroids plus LABA. 
 
In the STRATOS 2 trial, tralokinumab did not achieve a statistically-significant reduction in the annual asthma
exacerbation rate, the primary endpoint, in patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma and elevated levels of a biomarker,
Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide, compared to placebo. In TROPOS, tralokinumab did not achieve a statistically-significant
reduction in oral corticosteroid (OCS) use, the primary endpoint, when added to the standard of care, in patients dependent
on OCS. Full data from STRATOS 1, STRATOS 2 and TROPOS will be presented at a forthcoming medical meeting. 
 
f) Tezepelumab (asthma) 
 
At the aforementioned ERS Congress, AstraZeneca and Amgen Inc. presented results from the PATHWAY Phase IIb trial of
tezepelumab, a first-in-class treatment that blocks thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), an upstream driver of inflammation
in asthma. The trial met its primary efficacy endpoint and the data demonstrated significant and clinically-meaningful
annual asthma exacerbation-rate reductions of 61%, 71% and 66% in the tezepelumab arms receiving either 70mg or 210mg every
four weeks or 280mg every two weeks, respectively, independent of baseline blood eosinophil count or other type-2
inflammatory biomarkers. Tezepelumab also demonstrated improvements in lung function at all doses and in asthma control at
the two higher doses. The trial results were simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine. 
 
OTHER 
 
a) Tezepelumab (atopic dermatitis) 
 
During the period, the ALLEVIAD Phase IIa trial data showed that tezepelumab did not meet statistical significance on the
primary endpoint (EASI 50) of the 12-week exploratory trial that evaluated tezepelumab in moderate to severe atopic
dermatitis (AD) as add-on treatment to regular medium-to-high strength topical glucocorticosteroids. Numeric differences in
favour of tezepelumab, however, were observed across a number of disease activity endpoints (EASI, IGA and SCORAD response)
compared to placebo. 
 
b) Anifrolumab (lupus)
During the period, the Company completed the enrolment of the second Phase III trial (TULIP 2) of anifrolumab in patients
with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, or lupus). Data readouts from both the TULIP 1 and TULIP 2
trials are expected in H2 2018, with anticipated regulatory submissions in 2019. 
 
In addition, the Company also completed enrolment during the period of the Phase II SLE trial of a sub-cutaneous route of
administration of anifrolumab. 
 
c)Lanabecestat (Alzheimer's disease) 
 
During the period, the Company and Lilly completed enrolment of the Phase II/III AMARANTH trial investigating the safety
and efficacy of lanabecestat compared with placebo in the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease. A data readout from the
lanabecestat clinical programme is anticipated in 2019.
