U.S. FDA Grants Priority Review to BeOne Medicines’ BRUKINSA Combination in First-Line Mantle Cell Lymphoma
FDA priority review of BRUKINSA combination for first-line mantle cell lymphoma signals regulatory catalyst.
Context
What happened: The U.S. FDA accepted and granted Priority Review to the supplemental New Drug Application for BRUKINSA (zanubrutinib) plus rituximab in previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma.
Why it matters: If approved, the regimen would be the first and only chemotherapy-free, BTK inhibitor-based option for this frontline setting. BeOne's Chief Medical Officer said the acceptance brings the company closer to a chemotherapy-free BRUKINSA-based option.
