FDA: Eisai ‘s “Rembima” approved as a hepatocellular cancer drug

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Eisai’s (4523.T) anti-cancer drug “Rembima” as a drug for hepatocellular cancer (HCC) on 16th.

This was approved based on clinical trials for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Already, the company has obtained similar approval in Japan this March.

In March, Eisai has a strategic alliance with Merck (MRK.N) in the area of anti-cancer joint development and co-promotion.
