CASI Pharmaceuticals - Evomela approved in China

CASI announced that it has received approval in China for Evomela. The drug is a formulation of melphalan hydrochloride used in the treatment of multiple myeloma, and CASI obtained the rights to the drug in Greater China from its original developer, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, in 2014. This put CASI in a unique position to take advantage of the regulatory reforms in China. The drug was approved under the new priority review pathway at the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA, formerly the CFDA) and serves as a test case for this new regulatory regime.
