Sanofi has filed a new drug application for its PD-1 inhibitor cemiplimab (Libtayo) in Japan on March 18 as a monotherapy for the treatment of patients with cervical cancer whose disease progressed on or after chemotherapy.

The submission is based on data from a global PIII study, which enrolled roughly 600 patients with relapsed/metastatic cervical cancer previously treated with chemotherapy. In the study, cemiplimab demonstrated a 31% reduction in the risk of deaths versus chemotherapy.
