Sanofi's Sarclisa Gets EU Nod for On-Body Injector, First Anticancer Treatment with Home Option
Summary
The European Commission has approved Sanofi's Sarclisa subcutaneous formulation for multiple myeloma, to be administered via an on-body injector. This marks the first anticancer treatment in the EU available through such a device, offering patients the flexibility of home or outpatient administration. This final approval follows a positive recommendation from the European Medicines Agency's CHMP in March. The enhanced convenience and reduced burden on healthcare systems could significantly boost Sarclisa's market adoption and patient adherence.
