Hansoh lung cancer drug loses EU approval after AstraZeneca challenge

Original: Hansoh’s Tagrisso rival loses EU approval after AstraZeneca legal challenge

A copy of AstraZeneca's lung cancer drug Tagrisso developed by China's Hansoh Pharmaceutical has lost its European Union approval following a legal challenge mounted by AstraZeneca. The ruling removes the competing medicine from the EU market for now and hands the British drugmaker a win in its defence of Tagrisso's franchise, one of its biggest oncology products.

Why now: The EU decision is a notable win for AstraZeneca and a setback for Chinese drugmakers seeking to enter Western markets.
