LONDON--AstraZeneca PLC (AZN.LN) said Thursday the European
Commission has given permission for the company's drug Lynparza to
be marketed to some patients with ovarian cancer.
The drugs company said the commission, the European Union's

capsules "as the first therapy for the maintenance treatment of
adult patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed BRCA (Breast
Cancer)-mutated (germline and/or somatic) high grade serous
epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer
who are in complete response or partial response to platinum-based
