Incyte announces Health Canada approval of Minjuviin combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Incyte announced that Health Canada has granted a Notice of Compliance with conditions for Minjuvi (tafasitamab), a humanized Fc-modified cytolytic CD19 targeting monoclonal antibody, in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
"The data from L-MIND demonstrated that eligible patients treated with tafasitamab and lenalidomide had a high likelihood of benefit, which was durable in many cases," said Dr. Laurie Sehn, Clinical Professor with BC Cancer Centre for Lymphoid Cancer and The University of British Columbia. "It is encouraging to see new treatments become available for patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL, especially given the historical lack of options for them."
Condition: Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma
