Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Citius Oncology's primary product, FDA-approved LYMPHIR for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, offers significant health benefits, with an estimated initial market exceeding $400 million. However, LYMPHIR carries a boxed warning for capillary leak syndrome (CLS), a potentially life-threatening condition. Clinical trials indicate CLS occurred in 27% of patients, with a 0.8% fatality rate. The company transparently provides safety information. For other ethical areas like fair pay, ethical sourcing, honest business practices, animal welfare, and environmental impact, reports suggest insufficient public information to make a comprehensive assessment.
