“We are excited to announce the European Commission approval and the FDA filing acceptance for tislelizumab, having recently regained full global rights to this important medicine. These are significant milestones for people with advanced or metastatic ESCC, as tislelizumab has been shown to deliver clinically meaningful survival benefit as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy in patients worldwide,” said Mark Lanasa, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer, Solid Tumors at BeiGene. “We are proud to bring this therapy to European patients and potentially to American patients and will continue to focus on ensuring that we develop tislelizumab to its full potential to address unmet clinical needs around the world.”
