Program allows select Europeans access to belinostat


 

Drug vials

A managed access program is making the histone deacetylase inhibitor belinostat (Beleodaq®) available to patients in Europe who have relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).

The program allows physicians to request belinostat for individual PTCL patients who have no alternative treatment options.

This enables patients to use belinostat ahead of a potential European approval. There are currently no approved treatments for PTCL in Europe.

The program will provide access to belinostat for patients in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Austria.

The managed access program was made possible via an agreement between Onxeo, the company developing belinostat, and Clinigen Group plc., a company focused on providing access to medicines.

Healthcare professionals can obtain details about the belinostat managed access program by calling a Clinigen representative at +44 (0) 1283 44 347 or emailing customer.services@clinigengroup.com.
