FDA Grants Orphan Drug Designation to Polycythemia Vera Treatment

Mabwell announced that FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to 9MW3011 (R&D code in the US: MWTX-003/DISC-3405) for the treatment of patients with polycythemia vera (PV).

FDA Orphan Drug Designation is granted to investigational therapies addressing rare medical diseases or conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Orphan Drug status provides benefits to drug developers, including assistance in the drug development process, tax credits for clinical costs, exemptions from certain FDA fees and seven years of post-approval marketing exclusivity.

Clinical trials of 9MW3011 are ongoing in China and the US, respectively. FDA has granted Fast Track Designation (FTD) to 9MW3011 in September, 2023.
