ZD1839 IRESSA DATA

AstraZeneca is encouraged by the positive results from IDEAL 1 (IRESSA Dose Evaluation in Advanced Lung cancer), the first pivotal study of ZD1839 (IRESSA) in non-small-cell-lung-cancer (NSCLC) and looks forward to the presentation of these phase II data at the 12th AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on "Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics" in Miami, USA. Whilst the abstract of the data is available on www.aacr.org, the full results from IDEAL 1 will not be presented until Thursday, November 1, 2001, and the requirements of the AACR-NCI-EORTC scientific committee preclude discussion of the data presented in the abstract by the authors or the company until the day of the presentation.

AstraZeneca will be issuing press information announcing the results from IDEAL I on Thursday, November 1, 2001.
