AstraZeneca PLC said Wednesday that its tezepelumab treatment Tezspire has been approved in the European Union for patients with severe asthma.

The Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical giant said that Tezspire will be used as an add-on maintenance treatment in patients who are inadequately controlled with high dose of inhaled corticosteroids and other products.

The treatment has been previously approved in the U.S. and other countries and regulatory reviews are ongoing in additional countries, the company said.

"Tezspire is now the first and only biologic approved in Europe for patients with severe asthma with no phenotype or biomarker limitation and we look forward to bringing this important medicine to patients as quickly as possible," Mene Pangalos, AstraZeneca's executive vice president of biopharmaceuticals research and development, said.
