GlaxoSmithKline PLC said Friday that the European Commission has
granted conditional marketing authorization for Jemperli, a
treatment for endometrial cancer.
The British pharmaceutical giant said the approval makes
Jemperli, also known as dostarlimab, the first anti-PD-1 therapy

The drug is a treatment for patients with mismatch repair
deficient recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer.
"Today's approval of dostarlimab means that for the first time
in Europe, these women will have access to a new, innovative and
much-needed therapy," Hal Barron, chief scientific officer and
president of research and development, said.
