The European Commission has approved Onureg (azacitidine tablets)as the first and only once-daily, frontline oral maintenance therapy in the EU for patients with a broad range of acute myeloid leukemia subtypes.
While many patients with AML achieve remission with induction therapy, about 50% of patients relapse within one year. In the pivotal QUAZAR AML-001 study, Onureg significantly improved overall survival and relapse-free survival in patients with AML, reinforcing its clinical benefit and role in the treatment paradigm for patients with this common acute leukemia.
Onureg is sponsored by Bristol Myers Squibb.
