Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) Research UK has obtained approval for zanidatamab from the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency to treat biliary tract cancer in adults, the agency said Thursday.
The drug is approved for use in adults with cancer with high levels of HER2 protein that has progressed after previous treatment, the agency said.
The approval was given based on a study showing that cancer shrank or was no longer detectable in 52% of treated patients after an average follow-up of 34 months, the agency said.
