Roche Fails Again To Convince CHMP On Ocrevus, Only Teva Gets A Thumbs Up
Executive Summary
Roche has once again failed to convince the EMA’s key advisory panel, the CHMP, that the company’s novel multiple sclerosis treatment, Ocrevus (ocrelizumab), should be approved for marketing throughout Europe. The CHMP was considering an unusually low number of products for an opinion this month – just three – and only Teva’s generic tacrolimus got a positive recommendation. As with Ocrevus, no opinion was taken on the third product – carmustine, another generic.
