Grand Pharma’s Y-90 SIRT product enters China commercial insurance drug list

Grand Pharma’s Yttrium-90 microsphere injection Yigantai® (易甘泰®) was selected for the National Healthcare Security Administration’s Commercial Health Insurance Innovative Drug Catalogue (2026), the company said in an announcement. It was also added to the China Insurance Industry Association’s first Commercial Health Insurance Drug Coverage Recommendation List, making it the only selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) product in the commercial insurance innovative drug catalogue.

AI take

Commercial insurance listing is often the practical bridge between NRDL exclusion and real patient access in China, so Yigantai's inclusion matters less as a reimbursement milestone than as a distribution unlock for a therapy that requires specialised nuclear-medicine infrastructure. The significance concentrates on Grand Pharma's oncology franchise and on hospitals weighing whether to build out SIRT capability. The open question is whether commercial coverage translates into actual procedural volume, given that Y-90 logistics and centre readiness — not list status — typically gate adoption.
