Pierre Fabre Laboratories has been honored with the prestigious "Prix Galien International" Prize for their groundbreaking immunotherapy, EBVALLO®. This innovative treatment offers hope to patients with a rare cancer, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder positive for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV+ PTLD), who have exhausted other treatment options.

The Galien International Prize is a symbol of scientific excellence and innovation, recognizing recent health innovations that have a significant impact on patient care. EBVALLO® stood out for its unique manufacturing process and mechanism of action, delivering rapid and lasting clinical results in over 50% of cases. This is a game-changer for a disease with a grim prognosis, offering a ray of hope to those in need.

Pierre Fabre Laboratories' success in oncology, a key focus area for the company, is underscored by their collaboration with Atara Biotherapeutics. This partnership has enabled the global development, manufacturing, and commercialization of EBVALLO®, bringing this life-saving treatment to patients worldwide. With approvals from the European Medicines Agency and availability in select European countries, EBVALLO® is already making a difference in the lives of those battling this rare cancer.

"We are immensely proud to receive this prestigious award, which is a testament to our commitment to advancing patient care," said Éric Ducournau, CEO of Pierre Fabre Laboratories. "EBVALLO® represents a significant therapeutic advancement for patients facing a rare cancer with limited treatment options. Every individual we help brings us closer to our mission of making the world a better place."

This recognition from the Galien International Prize is a validation of Pierre Fabre Laboratories' dedication to innovation and patient-centric healthcare.
