NCCN guidelines updated to recommend PEDMARK for reducing cisplatin-induced hearing loss in pediatric AYA patients.
FENNEC PHARMACEUTICALS INC.
- NCCN AYA Oncology guidelines now recommend PEDMARK to reduce cisplatin-induced hearing loss in pediatric patients with localized, non-metastatic solid tumors.
- PEDMARK, FDA-approved Sept 2022 and commercially launched Oct 2022, is first and only therapy for this indication.
- Hearing loss occurs in ~60% (up to 90%) of children treated with cisplatin; PEDMARK may reduce risk based on Phase 3 trials.
- FDA labeling states PEDMARK is not substitutable with other sodium thiosulfate products.
