CHMP Recommends EU Approval for Sanofi's Innovative Sarclisa On-Body Injector for Multiple Myeloma
Summary
Sanofi's Sarclisa subcutaneous formulation, administered via an on-body injector, has received a positive recommendation for EU approval from the CHMP to treat multiple myeloma. This recommendation is based on studies demonstrating comparable efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety to the intravenous formulation. If approved, this would mark a significant advancement as Sarclisa would be the first available anticancer treatment delivered through an on-body injector and the only anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody in multiple myeloma offering both on-body injector and manual subcutaneous injection flexibility in the EU. This development is highly positive for Sanofi, as it enhances patient convenience and could significantly improve Sarclisa's competitive positioning and market penetration. A final decision from the European Commission is anticipated in the coming months.
