Umbralisib

Antineoplastic and Immunomodulating Agents

Umbralisib, sold under the brand name Ukoniq, was an anti-cancer medication formulated as oral tablets. It is a kinase inhibitor that acts on phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta and casein kinase CK1-epsilon. It was originally indicated for adults with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma and follicular lymphoma who had already received prior systemic therapies. It was granted accelerated approval for medical use in the United States in February 2021, then withdrawn from the United States market in June 2022 after clinical trials identified an increased mortality risk, and it is no longer available in that market.
