AstraZeneca received Food and Drug Administration approval for enhertu, its breast cancer treatment developed in partnership with Japanese company Daiichi Sankyo.

The Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company said Monday that the treatment's approval was based on results from a Phase III trial, which showed a 36% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death versus chemotherapy.

The approval extends to adult patients with unresectable or metastatic hormone receptor-positive, HER2-low or HER2-ultralow breast cancer, the company said.

"This new approval brings this important medicine to an earlier treatment setting and a broader patient population with HER2-expressing metastatic breast cancer," said Dave Fredrickson, executive vice president of AstraZeneca's oncology hematology business unit.
