13 February 2025

The European Commission (EC) has approved catumaxomab, making it the only approved drug therapy for malignant ascites (MA) for patients living with this debilitating condition across Europe.

This authorization has been awarded to Lindis Biotech, a German biopharma with a multi-specific antibody platform and an advanced development pipeline in immuno-oncology, and Pharmanovia, a UK-based drugmaker that commercializes novel medicines and revitalizes, extends and expands the lifecycle of established medicines.

Under a licensing agreement, Lindis has granted Pharmanovia the exclusive rights to bring catumaxomab to market and spearhead its launch across Europe.
