UK copies across EU authorizations of Beigene's Brukinsa

19 January 2023

Following on from European Commission (EC) approvals in November, the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has granted marketing authorizations for Brukinsa (zanubrutinib) in Great Britain.

As with the EC approvals, the UK authorizations have come in the indications of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) patients who have received at least one prior anti-CD20-based therapy.

Brukinsa has been developed by Chinese biotech company BeiGene (Nasdaq: BGNE) and is currently being evaluated globally in a broad clinical program as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies to treat various B-cell malignancies. It has won approvals in more than 60 markets, including the USA, China, Canada, Australia and South Korea as well as European markets.
