“Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a leading cause of cancer incidence and mortality in Saudi Arabia, representing a significantly unmet need for those living with diseases, such as MCL. BRUKINSA is a next-generation BTK inhibitor designed to improve tolerability issues often associated with the class and has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials for patients with relapsed or refractory MCL,” said Dr. Ahmad Absi, Hematology Section Head at the National Guard Health Affairs in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

“We are delighted that MCL patients in Saudi Arabia will now have access to BRUKINSA, a potentially best-in-class BTK inhibitor. Driven by our belief—Cancer has no borders. Neither do we, BeiGene is committed to expanding access to high-impact medicines for all patients who need them. With approval in Saudi Arabia and in the United Arab Emirates earlier this year, we are working with NewBridge Pharmaceuticals to bring BRUKINSA to more patients in the MENA region,” commented Mohammed Al-Kapany, Senior Director of New Markets in MENA at BeiGene.

“The approval of BRUKINSA in Saudi Arabia represents an important milestone in our ongoing collaboration with BeiGene. With this differentiated BTK inhibitor now approved in two markets in the MENA region, we are one step closer to reaching patients living with MCL with new treatment options,” remarked Joe Henein, President and CEO of NewBridge Pharmaceuticals.

The recommended dose of BRUKINSA is either 160 mg twice daily or 320 mg once daily, taken orally with or without food. The dose may be adjusted for adverse reactions and reduced for patients with severe hepatic impairment and certain drug interactions.
