Additionally, it is intended to be used in patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder who are no longer suitable for local treatment (such as surgery and/or radiation therapy). As of the date of this announcement, the cisplatin preparations of the same category that have been approved for marketing in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) mainly include oxaliplatin by Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co., Ltd., cisplatin injection by Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Libin by Yunnan Plant Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
