... PharmaMar President, Jose Maria Fernandez Sousa-Faro, said: "This approval for an incurable disease, corroborates the work that the PharmaMar team has done over the years with APLIDIN®. Patients and the medical community will now have a new therapeutic alternative with a new mechanism of action, that is different from the products currently in use."
