On Tuesday GSK said it has begun the process to withdraw Blenrep's marketing authorisation in the country but will continue trial programmes for the drug, adding that some patients will have the option to enrol for continued access to the treatment."We will continue the DREAMM clinical trial programme and work with the U.S. FDA on a path forward for this important treatment option for patients with multiple myeloma," GSK Chief Medical Officer Sabine Luik said in a statement.
The company is still discussing the latest clinical data with EU health authorities, the official said. Last year the drug achieved 89 million pounds in global sales, about two thirds of which was from the United States.
