BeiGene, Ltd. has announced that the FDA has accepted a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for Brukinsa (zanubrutinib) for the treatment of adult patients with Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia (WM).

In addition, safety data from 779 patients in six clinical trials of Brukinsa were included in the submission.
