AstraZeneca has revealed that early-stage data concerning the efficacy of its acquired drug acalabrutinib in the treatment of blood cancers and solid tumours was invented and falsified.
AZ acquired the drug when it bought a majority stake in its developer, Acerta Pharma, in 2015 for $4 billion. Currently, AZ is investigating the performance of the drug in more than 25 trials comprising over 2,000 participants.
