Astra Zeneca positive interim analysis of immunterapistudien Pacific can according to Swedbank’s läkemedelsanalytiker used by the market in order to find clues for the important Mystic-a study in which results are expected by the middle of 2017.

”I think the market will do in any extent. Then there is the different patient groups and different studies, so it may be enough to be careful with, but it will certainly do,” says Swedbank’s läkemedelsanalytiker Johan Unnerus to the News agency Directly.

Astra Zeneca presented in the morning positive study results from the Pacific-study for immunterapibehandlingen Imfinzi (durvalumab) for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer who cannot have surgery.
