At next week’s European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Madrid, Anglo-Swedish drugmaker AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) and the company’s biologics arm MedImmune will make around 40 presentations, it has been revealed.

The data will include two pivotal readouts selected for late-breaking abstract presentation at the Presidential Symposia, which the company says demonstrate significant improvements over current standard-of-care treatments in lung cancer.

The presentations will include results from the Phase III PACIFIC trial showing statistically-significant progression-free survival (PFS) benefit for Imfinzi (durvalumab) as a second-line therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
