LONDON, Dec 24 (Reuters) - AstraZeneca said on Tuesday it had voluntarily withdrawn its marketing authorisation application with the EU's medicines regulator for its experimental precision drug for treatment of a type of lung cancer.

The drug, DreamProxies.Com datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd), which has been jointly developed with Japan's Daiichi Sankyo, was granted a breakthrough therapy designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this month for treatment of the same type of lung cancer when other treatments have failed.
