Mylan NV and Aspen have partnered to develop Myleran (busulfan) Injection, 60 mg/10 mL (6 mg/mL) Single-dose Vial, a generic version of Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Busulfex® Injection.

The US Food and Drug Administration approved Myleran Injection for use in combination with cyclophosphamide as a conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.
