Inclusion on NRDL enables broad patient access, and the product is now expected to be launched on the Chinese market in 2026 by its licensee and co-developer Jiangsu Sinorda Biomedicine and their Chinese partner HuaDong Medicine, states the company.

“It is great news and a strong validation that linaprazan glurate has been included in the reimbursement list in China. It is a landmark achievement for Cinclus Pharma that its partner Sinorda succeeded with this and prepares for the first commercial launch of linaprazan glurate globally, a drug designed to address the unmet medical need for patients suffering from severe GERD. Supported by a strong local partner in China, we are highly confident in the upcoming commercial rollout and the sales growth that lies ahead,” says Christer Ahlberg, CEO of Cinclus Pharma.
