(Sharecast News) - AstraZeneca said the phase 3 trial for breast cancer drug Lynparza would move to early primary analysis and reporting following a recommendation from the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC).

Lynparza is being jointly developed and commercialised by AstraZeneca and Merck and has been used to treat more than 40,000 patients worldwide.
