The Pharma Data

Leadership in DNA damage response demonstrated in multiple presentations for AZD5305, a next-generation PARP1 selective inhibitor. Data for AZD5305 will demonstrate how the next wave of DNA damage response medicines can build on the success of PARP inhibitors, potentially allowing patients to stay on treatment longer.
