\n<\/div>\n

Olverembatinib, a novel drug developed by Ascentage Pharma with support from the National Major New Drug Development program, is the first third-generation BCR-ABL1 inhibitor approved by China’s<\/span> National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).

All lead drug candidates are being studied as they are an investigational drug and not approved in the US.<\/p>\n

“Olverembatinib has the potential to be a global best-in-class drug. We are glad that the drug is set to benefit patients with CML in Macau<\/span>, China<\/span>, with the approval marking another major milestone in the clinical development of olverembatinib,” said Dr. Dajun Yang<\/span>, Chairman and CEO of Ascentage Pharma. “Since its inception, Ascentage Pharma has steadfastly committed to its mission of addressing unmet clinical needs in China<\/span> and around the world. We are confident that over time, olverembatinib and our other investigational drugs will bring greater benefits to more patients globally.”<\/p>\n
