History of changes in FDA indication

  • 1974: Initial FDA approval for use in gastric and pancreatic carcinomas when combined with other chemotherapeutic agents.
  • Uncertain date: Mitomycin for Injection is not recommended as single-agent, primary therapy. It has been shown to be useful in the therapy of disseminated adenocarcinoma of the stomach or pancreas in proven combinations with other approved chemotherapeutic agents and as palliative treatment when other modalities have failed. Mitomycin is not recommended to replace appropriate surgery and/or radiotherapy. (No supporting studies are cited)

History of changes in EMA indication

  • 1962-10-05: EURD

Also known as

  • Generic names: mitomycin-C, MTC
  • Brand names: Lyomit, Mitocin, Mitocyte, Mitosol, Mitozytrex, Mutamycin
