Hot on the heels of  approval in Europe, the biologic Tezspire (tezepelumab) has won a regulatory nod from the British Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

The decision enables developer AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) to market the product for use as an add-on maintenance therapy for people over the age of 12 with severe uncontrolled asthma.
