NANJING, China and GAITHERSBURG, Md., Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TransThera Sciences' Yochanra® is the first drug independently developed in China to address the longstanding global challenge of acquired resistance to FGFR inhibitor therapy in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. On 6 August 2026, the National Medical Products Administration (the "NMPA") formally approved the drug for marketing. As a global frontrunner in this field, the product had previously been granted Fast Track Designation and Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"), Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of biliary tract cancer by the European Medicines Agency (the "EMA"), and inclusion in the List of Products for Priority Review and the List of Breakthrough Therapeutic Drugs by the NMPA in China. The product has also been featured and presented orally on multiple occasions at leading international scientific conferences, filling the clinical gap arising from the absence of a standard treatment following the development of resistance to FGFR inhibitor therapy.
