AI Summary
Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc announced that its partner, Norgine Pharmaceuticals Ltd, has received positive final draft guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). The guidance recommends using PEDMARQSI® (anhydrous sodium thiosulfate) to prevent cisplatin-induced hearing loss in children and young people aged 1 month to 17 years with localized, non-metastatic solid tumors. This step is significant because cisplatin, a common chemotherapy treatment, can cause irreversible hearing loss, severely impacting the quality of life of pediatric cancer patients.
