Bristol Myers Squibb drug Reblozyl is now approved as a first-line therapy for anemia caused by myelodysplastic syndromes, a group of blood cancers. It’s the third indication for the drug, which analysts project could top $4 billion in peak sales.
The companies said the FDA's Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee would review their application for Reblozyl in myelodysplastic syndrome. The drug, which won approval for a blood disorder last month, was developed under a partnership between Acceleron and Celgene, which BMS has since acquired.
