Helsinn Group announces FDA approval of a new liquid formulation of Akynzeo (fosnetupitant/palonosetron) injection in the United States

Helsinn

2 June 2020 - Helsinn today announces that the U.S. FDA has approved the ready-to-dilute liquid formulation of Akynzeo (fosnetupitant/palonosetron) injection. 

This new liquid solution provides several improvements to storage and handling:

  • Akynzeo injection does not require refrigeration at any stage of distribution, preparation or storage
  • Akynzeo injection eliminates the need for reconstitution prior to dilution, reducing the preparation process for intravenous administration of Akynzeo to one step before use.
  • Akynzeo injection may now be stored for up to 24 hours at room temperature after dilution, allowing more flexibility in preparation for busy clinicians
