Country

United Kingdom

The US Food and Drug Administration has given a full approval to the cancer treatment Jemperli (dostarlimab), having received follow-up data confirming the drug’s effectiveness in treating endometrial cancer. Jemperli was given an accelerated approval in August 2021 for adult patients with mismatch repair-deficient recurrent or advanced solid tumours. Mismatch repair-deficient tumours contain abnormalities that affect the proper repair of DNA when copied in a cell.
