3SBio (HKG:1530) said its 707 injection was granted a breakthrough therapy designation by China's National Medical Products Administration, according to a late Thursday bourse filing.
This designation provides benefits for 707's development as a first-line treatment for PD-L1-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, the filing stated.
Drugs with that designation are entitled to policy support, prioritized communication resources, enhanced guidance, and accelerated development.
