The inclusion of an original domestic drug in VED allows for stable access to innovative therapy without the risk of interruptions, which is especially important for maintaining their health and ability to work.

The efficacy of Nurdati has been evaluated in clinical trials. The results of the comparative study, published in the journal Modern Oncology 2, show that Nurdati (a combination of nurulimab and prolgolimab) with continued prolgolimab therapy is superior to prolgolimab monotherapy in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

The number of potential patients who can receive treatment at 100% security is more than 12 thousand patients. The clinical study showed a stable effect of the drug in patients with unresectable and metastatic stage III-IV melanoma. Additionally, after the Nurdati course, the patient receives an average of 16 injections of Forteca (Prolgolimab), which is also included in the clinical guidelines.

The inclusion of the Russian drug in the VED list corresponds to the course of development of national priorities aimed, countries among other things, at increasing the availability of advanced medicines for Russian patients.
