In-licensed for the greater China region.
MARQIBO (Vincristine Sulfate Liposome Injection). As part of our license transaction with Spectrum pursuant to which we acquired greater China rights to our core product EVOMELA, we also acquired the greater China rights to MARQIBO. MARQIBO is a novel, sphingomyelin/cholesterol liposome-encapsulated, formulation of vincristine sulfate, a microtubule inhibitor, approved by the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in second or greater relapse or whose disease has progressed following two or more anti-leukemia therapies. In March 2019, the Company received NMPA’s approval of the Company’s Clinical Trial Application (CTA) to allow for a trial to evaluate its efficacy and safety. However, due to the evolving standard of care environment, the rare and niche indication for this product, and our commitment to prioritize resources for our other programs, the Company considers this product to be non-core and is currently evaluating its options for this product.
Please see Marqibo product and safety information.
