Shorla obtained the rights to SH-201, previously named PIP-101, in July 2023 from an unnamed developer. Under the agreement, the developer was to continue to manufacture the drug until Shorla received an NDA.
Shorla will now be responsible for the launch, commercialisation and sales of SH-201 in the US.
SH-201 is an oral liquid drug, making the treatment accessible to patients who may struggle with taking tablets or other dosage forms. It slows or stops the growth of certain forms of leukaemia, including chronic myeloid leukaemia and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
