EU regulator backs Sanofi's injectable version of blood cancer drug

The European Medicines Agency has recommended approval of Sanofi's subcutaneous formulation of its blood-cancer drug delivered via an on-body injector — a meaningful regulatory milestone. If finalized, the subcutaneous on-body injector could improve patient convenience versus IV administration and support commercial uptake. Expect a modest positive reaction for Sanofi shares and incremental revenue potential, with ultimate impact contingent on final EMA approval and launch timing.
