09:11 AM EDT, 08/03/2026 (MT Newswires) -- British drugmaker AstraZeneca (AZN.L, AZN.ST) officially launched its Imjudo drug in China to help patients with advanced liver cancer, Reuters reported on Monday. The company previously said results from its Emerald-3 Phase III trial showed that combining its Imfinzi, Imjudo, lenvatinib, and transarterial chemoembolization, or TACE, delivered a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma compared with TACE alone. AstraZeneca did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
