China greenlight for Innovent and ASK Pharm’s limertinib
China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved the New Drug Application (NDA) of limertinib for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR T790M-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), from Innovent Biologics (HK: 01801) and Aosaikang Pharmaceuticals (ASK Pharm, SZ: 002755).

In October last year, Innovent signed a deal with ASK Pharma for the commercialization of the drug in mainland China.
