Karyopharm and Menarini gain full approval for Nexpovio in UK
Karyopharm Therapeutics (Nasdaq: KPTI) and privately-held Italian drugmaker Menarini Group today announced that the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has granted full Marketing Authorization for Nexpovio (selinexor) in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy.
With this approval extending Nexpovio’s indication in Great Britain, the conditional marketing authorization is now converted to full approval. Stemline Therapeutics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Menarini, will be responsible for all commercialization activities in the UK.
The drug is also approved and marketed in the USA by Karyopharm under the trade name Xpovio. It was also cleared for marketing in Europe in July last year.
