In December 2021, Hexvix® was put into pilot use in the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone in Hainan Province and the first prescription in China was issued at Hainan General Hospital, with the first patient operated successfully. It received approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for phase III clinical trials in the first quarter of 2022 and was included in the real-world clinical data pilot program.
"Completing patient enrollment for the Phase III bridging clinical trial of Hexvix® marks a significant milestone for Asieris Pharmaceuticals." said Dr. Linda Wu, Chief Development Officer of Asieris," We are thrilled to have reached this stage in the development of a drug that has the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis of bladder cancer.
