20. TAGRISSO European Public Assessment Report
Why is Tagrisso approved ?
The CHMP decided that Tagrisso's benefits are greater than its risks
Patients with the T790M mutation currently have a poor prognosis and very limited treatment options ; therefore there is a high unmet medical need
The evidence available so far showed promising results in terms of Tagrisso's ability to reduce tumor size
The european Commission granted a MA on 2 February 2016
