Nordic Nanovector receives Promising Innovative Medicine Designation
Our portfolio company Nordic Nanovector receives Promising Innovative Medicine Designation in the UK for the Treatment of Follicular Lymphoma with their lead product Betalutin®.
Lisa Rojkjaer MD, Nordic Nanovector Chief Medical Officer, commented:
“We are delighted by the MHRA’s decision to award PIM designation to Betalutin®. This acknowledges the high unmet medical need of this patient population as well as the potential of Betalutin® to offer therapeutic benefits to FL patients. Both the PIM and Fast Track designations (granted by the FDA in June) are very encouraging, as they provide opportunities for enhanced dialogue with health authorities and the potential to bring Betalutin® to patients more quickly.”
PIM designation constitutes Step 1 of the UK Early Access to Medicines Scheme (EAMS). EAMS aims to give patients in the UK early access to medicines that do not yet have a marketing authorisation but meet a medical need that is currently not being met. PIM designation means that a medicinal product is a promising candidate for the EAMS, for the treatment, diagnosis or prevention of life-threatening or seriously debilitating conditions with an unmet need.
