GSK says EMA validates cancer drug submission

GSK said the European Medicines Agency had validated the its submission for a potential new indication of its treatment for a type of gynaecological cancer known as mismatch repair deficient primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.

The move comes after the first part of a phase 3 trial of its Jemperli (dostarlimab) treatment in combination with chemotherapy for adult patients.

As a result, the EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use will begin the formal review process to make a recommendation to the European Commission regarding marketing authorisation for the potential new indication.
