First approvals
2025emaApproval — Nintedanib· Nintedanib Viatris is indicated in adults for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Nintedanib Viatris is also indicated in adults for the treatment of other chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with a progressive phenotype. Nintedanib Viatris is indicated in children and adolescents from 6 to 17 years old for the treatment of clinically significant, progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Nintedanib Viatris is indicated in adults, adolescents and children aged 6 years and older for the treatment of systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). source ↗
2025emaApproval — Methylphenidate hydrochloride· Tuzulby is indicated as part of a comprehensive treatment programme for attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents 6-17 years old when remedial measures alone prove insufficient. Treatment must be under the supervision of a specialist in childhood behavioural disorders. Diagnosis should be made according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) criteria or the guidelines in International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) and should be based on a complete history and evaluation of the patient. Diagnosis cannot be made solely on the presence of one or more symptoms. source ↗
2024emaApproval — Nintedanib· Nintedanib Accord is indicated in adults for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Nintedanib Accord is also indicated in adults for the treatment of other chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with a progressive phenotype (see section 5.1). Nintedanib Accord is indicated in adults for the treatment of systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). Nintedanib Accord is indicated in adults for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Nintedanib Accord is also indicated in adults for the treatment of other chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with a progressive phenotype. Nintedanib Accord is indicated in children and adolescents from 6 to 17 years old for the treatment of clinically significant, progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Nintedanib Accord is indicated in adults, adolescents and children aged 6 years and older for the treatment of systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). source ↗
2021emaApproval — Azathioprine· Jayempi is indicated in combination with other immunosuppressive agents for the prophylaxis of transplant rejection in patients receiving allogenic kidney, liver, heart, lung or pancreas transplants. Azathioprine is indicated in immunosuppressive regimens as an adjunct to immunosuppressive agents that form the mainstay of treatment (basis immunosuppression). Jayempi is used as an immunosuppressant antimetabolite either alone or, more commonly, in combination with other agents (usually corticosteroids) and/ or procedures which influence the immune response. Jayempi is indicated in patients who are intolerant to glucocorticosteroids or if the therapeutic response is inadequate despite treatment with high doses of glucocorticosteroids, in the following diseases: severe active rheumatoid arthritis (chronic polyarthritis) that cannot be kept under control by less toxic agents (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic -medicinal products – DMARDs) auto-immune hepatitis systemic lupus erythematosus dermatomyositis polyarteritis nodosa pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid Behçet’s disease refractory auto-immune haemolytic anaemia, caused by warm IgG antibodies chronic refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura Jayempi is used for the treatment of moderately severe to severe forms of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis) in patients in whom glucocorticosteroid therapy is necessary, but where glucocorticosteroids are not tolerated, or in whom the disease is untreatable with other common means of first choice. It is also indicated in adult patients in relapsing multiple sclerosis, if an immunomodulatory therapy is indicated but beta interferon therapy is not possible, or a stable course has been achieved with previous treatment with azathioprine. 3 Jayempi is indicated for the treatment of generalised myasthenia gravis. Depending on the severity of the disease, Jayempi should be given in combination with glucocorticosteroids because of slow onset of action at the beginning of treatment and the glucocorticosteroid dose should be gradually reduced after several months of treatment. source ↗
2021emaApproval — Thiotepa· Thiotepa Riemser is indicated, in combination with other chemotherapy medicinal products: with or without total body irradiation (TBI), as conditioning treatment prior to allogeneic or autologous haematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) in haematological diseases in adult and paediatric patients; when high dose chemotherapy with HPCT support is appropriate for the treatment of solid tumours in adult and paediatric patients. Thiotepa Riemser is indicated, in combination with other chemotherapy medicinal products: with or without total body irradiation (TBI), as conditioning treatment prior to allogeneic or autologous haematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) in haematological diseases in adult and paediatric patients; when high dose chemotherapy with HPCT support is appropriate for the treatment of solid tumours in adult and paediatric patients source ↗
2020emaApproval — Melphalan hydrochloride· High-dose of Phelinun used alone or in combination with other cytotoxic medicinal products and/or total body irradiation is indicated in the treatment of: multiple myeloma, malignant lymphoma (Hodgkin, non-Hodgkin lymphoma), acute lymphoblastic and myeloblastic leukemia, childhood neuroblastoma, ovarian cancer, mammary adenocarcinoma. Phelinun in combination with other cytotoxic medicinal products is indicated as reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) treatment prior to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in malignant haematological diseases in adults. Phelinun in combination with other cytotoxic medicinal products is indicated as conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation in haematological diseases in the paediatric population as: Myeloablative conditioning (MAC) treatment in case of malignant haematological diseases RIC treatment in case of non-malignant haematological diseases. source ↗
2019emaApproval — Treosulfan· Treosulfan in combination with fludarabine is indicated as part of conditioning treatment prior to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) in adult patients and in paediatric patients older than one month with malignant and non-malignant diseases. source ↗
2018emaApproval — Carmustine· Carmustine is indicated n adults in the following malignant neoplasms as a single agent or in combination with other antineoplastic agents and/or other therapeutic measures (radiotherapy, surgery): Brain tumours (glioblastoma, brain-stem gliomas, medulloblastoma, astrocytoma and ependymoma), brain metastases Secondary therapy in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Hodgkin’s disease as conditioning treatment prior to autologous haematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) in malignant haematological diseases (Hodgkin’s disease / Non-hodgkin’s lymphoma). source ↗
