Sanofi-Aventis recently notified European Medicines Agency (EMA) about the companies decision to withdraw its application for a centralised marketing authorisation of its medicine Mulsevo (semuloparin sodium), 20 mg, solution for injection. Mulsevo was intended to be used for the primary prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy for locally-advanced or metastatic solid tumours.

The application for the marketing authorisation for Mulsevo was submitted to the Agency on 29 September 2011. At the time of the withdrawal it was under review by the Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP). In its withdrawal letter, the company stated that they have decided to withdraw all applications globally following comments by regulatory agencies.

The document on information about Mulsevo and the state of the scientific assessment at the time of withdrawal together with the withdrawal letter from the company, will be published on the Agency’s website after the CHMP meeting that is to be held between July 16 to 19.
