APF530 is undergoing regulatory review for a new drug approval for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, according to manufacturer A.P. Pharma. PF530 is a formulation of granisetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist.

The drug is delivered using the company’s Biochronomer system, which allows therapeutic drug levels to be maintained for five days with a single subcutaneous injection.
