Stockholm – August 25, 2023 – Oncopeptides AB (publ), a biotech company focused on difficult-to-treat cancers, today announces that more information regarding the formal request from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to voluntarily withdraw Pepaxto´s approval in the U.S has been made available by the FDA.
The public docket contains, among other documents, a detailed appeal document outlining Oncopeptides´ arguments for why Pepaxto should remain on the U.S. market as an important treatment option for multiple myeloma patients in later lines of treatment.
