Helsinn out-licenses chemo-induced nausea drugs in Russia

27 January 2020

Privately-held Swiss drugmaker Helsinn has granted exclusive licensing rights to commercialize Akynzeo (netupitant/palonosetron) and Onicit (palonosetron) for Russia and the CIS region to Berlin-Chemie, the German-based affiliate of Italy's Menarini Group.

Both drugs are indicated for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV).

Akynzeo, a fixed dose combination anti-emetic therapy targeting both critical pathways of acute and delayed CINV, was granted registration in Russia in October 2019 and the product will be launched in the country in 2020.
