MHRA grants marketing authorization for Cabozantinib Ipsen
French drugmaker Ipsen (Euronext: IPN) announced today that the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has granted marketing authorization for cabozantinib in adult patients with unresectable or metastatic, well differentiated pNETs and epNETs who have progressed following at least one prior systemic therapy other than SSAs.
In July this year, the European Commission (EC) approved Cabometyx (cabozantinib) for adult patients with unresectable or metastatic, well differentiated pancreatic (pNET) and extra-pancreatic (epNET) neuroendocrine tumors who have progressed following at least one prior systemic therapy other than somatostatin analogues.
Cabometyx was originally developed by Exelixis (Nasdaq: EXEL), which granted Ipsen exclusive rights for the commercialization and further clinical development outside of the USA and Japan.
