Lupin Receives USFDA Tentative Approval for Generic Prostate Cancer Drug
Lupin Ltd has received tentative approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for its generic enzalutamide tablets used to treat advanced prostate cancer. The approval covers 40 mg and 80 mg strengths as bioequivalent to Astellas Pharma's Xtandi, with additional 120 mg and 160 mg strengths offering more dosing options.
