NMPA approves IND application for Equecabtagene Autoleucel in Second- and Third-Line Treatment of Multiple Myeloma
Ms. Jinhua Zhang, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of IASO Bio, stated, “The NMPA’s IND approval for Equecabtagene Autoleucel in second- and third-line R/RMM treatment marks a pivotal advancement in its clinical journey.
