Jemperli received approval in December 2021 under Health Canada’s Notice of Compliance with conditions as a single agent for treating dMMR or MSI-H recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer in adults.

The treatment was intended for patients who have advanced on or following a previous platinum-based treatment regimen.

The latest approval for Jemperli was granted under the international collaboration Project Orbis and the priority review policy of Health Canada. 

In October 2023, the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) authorised GSK’s Jemperli for certain types of endometrial cancer.
