AstraZeneca (LSE:AZN) has received regulatory approval in the European Union for its therapy Koselugo (selumetinib) to treat symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN) in adults living with neurofibromatosis tipo 1 (NF1). The decision is supported by positive data from the KOMET Phase III trial and marks a key milestone in broadening treatment options for NF1.
The authorization extends the clinical benefits of Koselugo beyond pediatric patients to adults, reinforcing AstraZeneca’s commitment to advancing care in rare diseases with significant unmet medical needs.
The company’s strong earnings performance and upbeat financial guidance have also contributed to positive market sentiment. However, technical indicators point to potentially overbought levels, and the stock continues to trade at a premium valuation. Even so, AstraZeneca’s solid pipeline and strategic initiatives underpin a constructive long-term outlook.
