Novartis AG said Wednesday that European regulators approved its lung-cancer treatment Tabrecta.

The Swiss pharmaceutical company said the European Commission approved Tabrecta, also known as capmatinib, as a single-drug treatment of adults with certain advanced nonsmall cell lung cancers.

The approval, based on a Phase 2 trial, follows a positive opinion issued in April by the European Medicines Agency, Novartis said.

The approval is applicable to all 27 European Union member states plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein, the Basel, Switzerland-based company said.
