YM's subsidiary CIMYM BioSciences Inc. is the licensee for the highly differentiated EGFR-targeting drug, nimotuzumab, for most of the major market territories including Japan, Europe and North America. Nimotuzumab is already approved for sale in a number of countries and the data continues to demonstrate the prospect for this molecule to be best-in-class in an established area of cancer therapy.

CIMYM continues with its application to the London Court of International Arbitration for resolution of matters related to the license with Oncoscience AG.
