MT Newswires Live05-28

Domestic biopharmaceutical developers captured nearly 80% of China's recent innovative drug clearances, marking a major milestone as local pipelines outpace imports.

Fifteen of the 19 innovative drugs cleared by the National Medical Products Administration as of May 21 came from domestic companies, The South China Morning Post reported Wednesday.

The regulator has overhauled its approval process specifically to fast-track home-grown innovative drugs to market, according to the report.

Among those approved was BeOne Medicines' (SHA:688235, HKG:6160) sonrotoclax, used for treating adult blood cancers, the SCMP wrote.
