In-licensed for the greater China region.
ZEVALIN® (Ibritumomab Tiuxetan). As part of our license transaction with Spectrum pursuant to which we acquired greater China rights to core product EVOMELA, we also acquired the greater China rights to FDA-approved ZEVALIN. ZEVALIN is a CD20-directed radiotherapeutic antibody indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory, low-grade or follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). The ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen consists of two components: rituximab, and Yttrium-90 (Y-90) a beta-emitting radioisotope. On February 12, 2019 the Company received NMPA’s approval of the Company’s Clinical Trial Application (CTA) to allow for a confirmatory registration trial to evaluate the drug’s efficacy and safety.
