About Senaparib
Senaparib, discovered and developed by IMPACT, is a potent and novel PARP1/2 inhibitor. Its distinctive molecular structure ensures exceptional target selectivity and wide therapeutic window. The Phase Ⅲ registrational study (FLAMES) evalsuating Senaparib as a first-line maintenance therapy in advanced ovarian cancer patients (all-comers) has met its primary endpoint. In August 2022, the fixed dose combination capsules of Senaparib and temozolomide for the treatment of adult patients with small cell lung cancer was granted orphan-drug designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In August 2023, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) for Senaparib in China.
