MorphoSys AG has secured regulatory approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for its first proprietary antibody therapeutic, Monjuvi (tafasitamab), to treat adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The approval was based on data from the Phase 2 L-MIND study, a multicentre, single arm trial of Monjuvi in combination with lenalidomide, a drug for multiple myeloma. DLBCL is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that can develop in the lymph nodes or any organ of the body.
