The CHMP has recommended the granting of marketing authorization for Zefylti, which is intended for the treatment of neutropenia and the mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs).
The company’s spokesperson said, "After receiving the GMP certificate of compliance from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in November, Zefylti is our first biosimilar to receive a positive opinion from EMA's CHMP. Two more products, our biosimilar versions of pegylated filgrastim (BP14) and trastuzumab (BP02), are currently under review with the EMA, and a biosimilar to bevacizumab (BP01) is under review with the MHRA. We are confident and on track to bring these treatment options to patients next year".
