CEO, Jakob Lindberg commented “The results to date support our belief that melflufen has the potential to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients with relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma, providing a reliable go-to alternative even when conventional therapies have failed”.

Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological cancer and in 2016, it is estimated that in the US there will be 30,330 new cases of myeloma and an estimated 12,650 people will die of this disease1. In 95% of cases the patient’s cancer has metastasized, which today, has a five-year survival rate of 47.4%1.
