BeiGene notches up fourth EC approval for Brukinsa
The European Commission (EC) has granted marketing authorization for China-headquartered biotech BeiGene’s (Nasdaq: BGNE) Brukinsa (zanubrutinib) in combination with obinutuzumab for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) who have received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy.
The company said that this marks the fourth indication in the European Union (EU) for Brukinsa, which is now approved to treat more patient populations in the EU than any other Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.
BeiGene recently reported that Brukinsa generated sales of $357.7 million in the third quarter of this year, an increase of 130% compared with the prior-year period, as global launch momentum continues across multiple indications, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
