AstraZeneca has secured a key regulatory win in its effort to reclaim the lead in the BTK inhibitor market, with the FDA approving its Calquence plus Venclexta as the first all-oral, fixed-duration regimen for first-line chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

This development underscores the importance of regulatory milestones in shaping therapeutic landscapes and highlights the ongoing evolution of treatment paradigms in oncology.
