Helsinn Group Launches Akynzeo Injection in US Market

Overview

Helsinn Group, a global pharmaceutical company with a track record of over forty-five years of commercial execution and a strong focus in supportive care, oncology and dermato-oncology, announced that Akynzeo (fosnetupitant/palonosetron) injection is now available in the US in a ready-to-use vial.

  • Infuse directly from the vial using a built-in hanging strap;

  • It has not been studied for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with anthracycline plus cyclophosphamide chemotherapy. 
  • Akynzeo injection does not contain polysorbate 80 or allergenic excipients such as soy or egg lecithin. 
  • It can be administered simultaneously with intravenous dexamethasone sodium phosphate.

Words from CEO: Helsinn Group

Dr. Melanie Rolli, Helsinn Group CEO, commented: “As a pioneer in cancer supportive care, Helsinn continues to be unwavering in our pursuit to help patients and clinicians in cancer care. We are very pleased to launch the new Akynzeo ready-to-use vial, building on our legacy of innovation.”
