Dr. Claus Moller, Chief Executive Officer further notes, “We are pleased to firm up the timelines for the omburtamab BLA. We expect to complete submission of the BLA for naxitamab in late March and omburtamab shortly thereafter, and this execution reflects an outstanding performance of our team. We hope to see both compounds approved by the FDA later this year.”

Researchers at MSK developed the omburtamab antibody, which is exclusively licensed by MSK to Y-mAbs. As a result of this licensing arrangement, MSK has institutional financial interests in the product and in Y-mAbs.
