Bayer's Sevabertinib Lung-Cancer Drug Receives Therapy Designations in U.S., China

By Billy Gray 




  Bayer received significant designations in the U.S. and China for its sevabertinib lung-cancer treatment. 



  The German pharmaceutical and biotechnology company said Tuesday that the Food and Drug Administration and China's Center for Drug Evaluation gave the drug the designations that would speed up the development of sevabertinib for first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic lung cancer. 



  Bayer said the designations were supported by preliminary clinical evidence for the oral drug. 



  Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and patients with a form of non-small cell lung cancer that sevabertinib could treat currently face limited treatment options, it added.
