– Currently no approved treatments in the European Union for advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC)
– CSCC is one of the most common skin cancers worldwide
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today announced that the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive opinion for the marketing authorization of Libtayo® (cemiplimab). The CHMP recommended its conditional approval for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic or locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation. Libtayo is a fully-human monoclonal antibody targeting the immune checkpoint receptor PD-1 (programmed cell death protein-1). If approved, Libtayo would be the first and only treatment approved for certain patients with advanced CSCC in the European Union (EU).
