USFDA approval
In a major win for patients and healthcare providers, Lupin Limited (Lupin), a leading global pharmaceutical company, announced today that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval (USFDA approval) for its generic version of Rydapt® capsules (midostaurin) 25 mg.
This approval allows Lupin to market a more affordable treatment option for patients battling aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), systemic mastocytosis with associated hematological neoplasm (SM-AHN), and mast cell leukemia (MCL).
Treatment Options for Rare Blood Cancers
What are ASM, SM-AHN, and MCL?
These are rare and aggressive types of blood cancers that arise from mast cells, a type of white blood cell involved in the immune system’s response to allergies.
How does midostaurin work?
Midostaurin is a targeted therapy that works by blocking specific signaling pathways that promote the growth and survival of abnormal mast cells.
A More Affordable Treatment Option
- Rydapt, the brand name drug for midostaurin, had estimated annual sales of USD 75 million in the U.S. (IQVIA MAT March 2024).
- Lupin’s generic USFDA approval paves the way for increased access to this critical treatment for patients, potentially leading to significant cost savings for healthcare systems.
