Global Regulatory Approvals
ANKTIVA in combination with BCG for the treatment of BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) carcinoma in situ (CIS), with or without papillary tumors, is now authorized across four major regulatory jurisdictions encompassing 33 countries:
-
United States : FDA approval (April 2024 ) -
United Kingdom : MHRA authorization (July 2025 ) -
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia : SFDA accelerated approval for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC CIS (January 2026 ) and conditional accelerated approval for metastatic NSCLC in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (January 2026 ), the first jurisdiction globally to authorize ANKTIVA for lung cancer -
European Union :European Commission conditional marketing authorization covering all 27 EU member states plusIceland ,Norway , andLiechtenstein (February 2026 )
This global regulatory footprint of 33 countries was established in under two years from initial 2024 FDA approval, representing the most rapid international expansion for an immunotherapy in this indication.

About ANKTIVA
ANKTIVA (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept) is our lead biologic product and a first-in-class IL-15 receptor superagonist antibody-cytokine fusion protein. We are commercializing ANKTIVA for the treatment of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS, with or without papillary tumors. ANKTIVA has received
ANKTIVA is now approved in the
ANKTIVA in combination with our CAR-NK therapy (PD-L1 t-haNK) has received RMAT designation from the FDA for use in combination with chemotherapy/radiotherapy for reversal of lymphopenia and treatment of relapsed locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Separately, the FDA has authorized an EAP for ANKTIVA to treat lymphopenia in adult patients with refractory or relapsed solid tumors, regardless of tumor type, who have progressed following first-line standard-of-care treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. The EAP includes patients with solid tumors who have failed first-line therapy and have a low ALC (ALC <1,000/μL).
Important Safety Information
INDICATION AND USAGE:
ANKTIVA® is an interleukin-15 (IL-15) receptor agonist indicated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for the treatment of adult patients with BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary tumors.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: Risk of Metastatic Bladder Cancer with Delayed Cystectomy. Delaying cystectomy can lead to the development of muscle-invasive or metastatic bladder cancer, which can be lethal. If patients with CIS do not have a complete response to treatment after a second induction course of ANKTIVA® with BCG, reconsider cystectomy.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: For Intravesical Use Only. Do not administer by subcutaneous or intravenous routes.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: Pregnancy: May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.FDA.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-332-1088. You may also contact
