FDA Approves First Drug For Treatment Of Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Folotyn (pralatrexate), the first treatment for a form of cancer known as Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (PTCL), an often aggressive type of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Folotyn was approved under the FDA's accelerated approval process, which allows earlier approval of drugs that meet unmet medical needs.
