Bayer Pulling Lymphoma Drug Aliqopa From U.S.

German drugs-to-crops giant Bayer is pulling Aliqopa from the U.S. after a confirmatory trial of the lymphoma drug missed its primary endpoint.

Bayer on Monday said it will work with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on a voluntary withdrawal of Aliqopa, which won accelerated approval from the agency in 2017 for adults with relapsed follicular lymphoma who have received at least two prior systemic therapies.
