YM BioSciences Inc. (NYSE: YMI) reported that nimotuzumab has been approved for marketing in Mexico. YM BioSciences also announced that it has enrolled the first two patients in its randomized, double-blind trial evaluating nimotuzumab in patients with brain metastases from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

"Mexico is the 21st country to have approved nimotuzumab for marketing and, while YM's license for major market territories for nimotuzumab does not include Mexico, this approval reflects the growing recognition throughout much of the world of the value to patients of our drug and the progress being made in its commercialization," said David Allan, Chairman and CEO of YM BioSciences. "As part of YM's registration strategy for nimotuzumab, we were also pleased to report the opening of this second of two randomized, double-blind trials that YM is conducting in Canada and which are both now being expanded internationally."
