Zhejiang Hisun Pharma has in-licensed China rights to ThermoDox®, a liver cancer drug developed by Celsion Corporation, in a deal that totals $100 million in upfront and milestone payments. Celsion is expected to announce results from a Phase III trial of the drug later this month. In May 2012, Celsion chose Hisun as its global manufacturer for ThermoDox.
