EC nod for Roche's first-in-class bispecific antibody Lunsumio for follicular lymphoma

8 June 2022

The European Commission has granted conditional marketing authorization for the CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody Lunsumio (mosunetuzumab), developed by Swiss pharma giant Roche (ROG: SIX).

Lunsumio is indication for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) who have received at least two prior systemic therapies. Lunsumio is an off-the-shelf therapy that is readily available, so people do not have to wait to start treatment. This follows a positive recommendation from the European Medicines Agency’s human medicines committee (CHMP) in April.

Mizuho Securities analyst Salim Syed has previously forecast peak sales of more than $1 billion for mosunetuzumab.
