STAT Plus: European regulators could take a harder line on the review of an Agios blood cancer drug
A European regulatory setback for a Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) blood-cancer drug could have a negative spillover effect for Agios Pharmaceuticals (AGIO) and its sole wholly owned drug.
On Friday, the European Medicines Agency disclosed that Bristol withdrew a marketing application for Idhifa, a targeted medicine to treat acute myeloid leukemia, after an ongoing review had concluded that the drug’s clinical data did not support approval.
