(VOVWORLD) - Lung cancer patients treated with AstraZeneca's immunotherapy Imfinzi pre- and post-surgery in a trial lived significantly longer without the disease progressing or recurring than those treated with chemotherapy, the drugmaker said on Thursday.

The late-stage study compared patients with resectable, early-stage, non-small cell lung cancer who were treated with Imfinzi along with chemotherapy before surgery and as a monotherapy after surgery, to patients treated with chemotherapy pre-surgery.

Imfinzi was well tolerated and there were no new safety concerns before and after surgery, AstraZeneca said.

The drug had failed the main goal of a trial in patients with a form of late-stage lung cancer, Astrazeneca had said in December.
