New Tezspire data strengthen profile for a broad population of severe asthma patients

7 September 2022

Results from the DESTINATION Phase III extension trial showed Tezspire (tezepelumab) demonstrated an overall long-term safety and efficacy profile consistent with the previous PATHWAY Phase II and NAVIGATOR Phase III trials, sustained over 104 weeks in a broad population of patients with severe asthma.

Under development by UK pharma major AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) and US biotech Amgen’s (Nasdaq: AMGN), Tezspire is the first and only biologic for severe asthma with two-year placebo-controlled safety and efficacy data. It was first approved in the USA in December 2021. SVB Securities analysts at that time forecast that Tezspire will generate revenue of $584 million in 2023, growing to $1.0 billion by 2025 and ultimately to $2.6 billion in 2030.
