NextSource BioTechnology announces product re-launch, market availability of Lomustine in U.S.

NextSource BioTechnology, LLC, (NSB), an emerging Specialty Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Marketing Company focused on Consolidating, Re-Branding and Launching "Matured & Orphan Drugs," has announced its most recent product Lomustine (CCNU), formerly known as CeeNu® by Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), which has officially been removed from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Drug Shortage List. As a result of this new status, Lomustine (CCNU) is now readily available through NextSource's Nationwide Authorized Distribution supply chain.

Due to the successful product re-launch and market availability of Lomustine (CCNU), there is no longer a need for continued use of the unregulated compound equivalent product. Pharmacies currently compounding this product are doing so against the FDA Code of Federal Regulations.

Lomustine (CCNU) will continue to be distributed under the current name, while the pending FDA "Brand" name is under review for approval. Lomustine (CCNU) is the first of many "Matured Drugs" to be launched under the NextSource Biotechnology portfolio.

"Our launch of LOMUSTINE," said Robert DiCrisci, President, CEO of NextSource Biotechnology, "is an example of the NextSource commitment to work proactively with the FDA in an effort to prevent the discontinuation of existing and future drugs that are vital in the application of a well balanced treatment plan of traditional proven therapies and New therapy options that healthcare providers and patients in the hospital settings require under the new healthcare guidelines."
