    On May 25, 2021, Oncopeptides AB announced that its peptide-conjugated drug Pepaxto (melphalan flufenamide) has achieved positive results in a phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM).


    The Phase 3 clinical trial project was launched in 2017 and enrolled 495 patients from 21 countries to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pepaxto in the treatment of patients with R/R MM compared with pomalidomide.


    Pepaxto is a "first-in-class" peptide-conjugated drug that couples alkylating agents with peptides that target aminopeptidase.


    MM is a malignant blood cancer caused by abnormal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow.
