- XPOVIO® is the first and only approved XPO1 inhibitor in Malaysia.
- XPOVIO® has been approved for multiple indications in eight markets across the APAC region. Antengene has submitted new drug applications (NDAs) for XPOVIO® in other ASEAN markets including Thailand and Indonesia with approvals expected in the second half of 2024.
- XPOVIO® has been approved for health insurance coverage in the mainland of China, Australia, Singapore and South Korea.
The ASEAN region, with its steady economic growth and a population exceeding 600 million, has become a significant potential market for global biomedical development. The accelerating aging population in ASEAN has increased the overall disease burden on patients and local communities, leading to a growing demand for novel therapeutics. Antengene, in efforts to fulfill its commitment to enhancing the health and well-being of the ASEAN population, has submitted NDAs for XPOVIO® in Thailand and Indonesia, with approvals expected in the second half of 2024. Looking ahead, the company aims to introduce more innovative medicines to the ASEAN market, bringing improved healthcare to more patients in the region.
While bringing XPOVIO® to more APAC markets, Antengene is also striving to expand the indications of XPOVIO®. Leveraging the drug's novel mechanism of action, Antengene is currently developing multiple combination regimens of XPOVIO® for the treatment of various indications including myelofibrosis (MF), T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (T-NHL), and endometrial cancer.
About XPOVIO® (selinexor)
XPOVIO® is the world's first approved orally-available, selective inhibitor of the nuclear export protein XPO1. It offers a novel mechanism of action, synergistic effects in combination regimens, fast onset of action, and durable responses.
By blocking the nuclear export protein XPO1, XPOVIO® can promote the intranuclear accumulation and activation of tumor suppressor proteins and growth regulating proteins, and down-regulate the levels of multiple oncogenic proteins. XPOVIO® delivers its antitumor effects through three mechanistic pathways: 1) exerting antitumor effects by inducing the intranuclear accumulation of tumor suppressor proteins; 2) reducing the level of oncogenic proteins in the cytoplasm by inducing the intranuclear accumulation of oncogenic mRNAs; 3) restoring hormone sensitivity by activating the glucocorticoid receptors (GR) pathway. To utilize its unique mechanism of actions, XPOVIO® is being evaluated for use in multiple combination regimens in a range of indications. At present, Antengene is conducting multiple clinical studies of XPOVIO® in the mainland of China for the treatment of relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies and solid tumors (3 of these studies are being jointly conducted by Antengene and Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. [Nasdaq:KPTI]).
