Antengene has submitted NDAs for XPOVIO in Thailand and Indonesia, with approvals expected in the second half of 2024.

The company seeks to broaden its indications beyond the current approvals.

It is developing multiple combination regimens of XPOVIO to treat conditions such as myelofibrosis, T-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and endometrial cancer, leveraging the drug’s unique mechanism of action.

XPOVIO has synergistic effects when used in combination regimens, rapid onset of action and sustained responses.

Antengene is conducting multiple clinical studies of XPOVIO in China for the treatment of relapsed/refractory haematologic malignancies and solid tumours.

Three of these studies are a collaborative effort between Antengene and Karyopharm Therapeutics.

In July 2024 China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approved Antengene’s new indication of XPOVIO as a monotherapy for adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
