Celgene is closing in on yet another new indication for its blood cancer blockbuster Revlimid, with the FDA starting a priority review of the drug in combination with Roche’s Rituxan.
Bristol-Myers Squibb has agreed a $74 billion deal to merge with Celgene in a deal that will boost its presence in oncology and immunology and make it the fourth-largest drugmaker.
A pair of clinical trial wins for Celgene’s luspatercept at the American Society of Haematology (ASH) meeting have set up a filing for the new drug in mid-2019.
