Knight Therapeutics announced that its Brazilian affiliate, United Medical, has submitted a marketing authorization application to ANVISA, the Brazilian health regulatory agency, for NIKTIMVO for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients 6 years and older. On August 4, 2025, Knight announced that it expanded its existing relationship and amended its agreement with Incyte for the exclusive rights to distribute retifanlimab and axatilimab in Latin America. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Incyte will be responsible for the development, manufacture and supply to Knight of retifanlimab and axatilimab, and Knight will be responsible for seeking the necessary regulatory approvals and distributing both medicines in Latin America. Knight and Incyte had entered into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement for tafasitamab and pemigatinib in Latin America in September 2021.
