Y-mAbs Announces Initiation of Submission of Omburtamab Rolling Biologics License Application to the FDA - Seite 2

Dr. Claus Moller, Chief Executive Officer, continued, “We look forward to working with the Agency to bring omburtamab to appropriate patients. We believe omburtamab can potentially address a significant unmet medical need for children with CNS/leptomeningeal metastases from neuroblastoma.” 

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (“MSK”) developed omburtamab, which is exclusively licensed by MSK to Y-mAbs. As a result of this licensing arrangement, MSK has institutional financial interests related to the compound and Y-mAbs.
