- The EC requests the European Medicines Agency, EMA, to re-evaluate the application for Aplidin in Multiple Myeloma.
- This exceptional decision supports what PharmaMar has always maintained, namely that there was a conflict of interest among the EMA experts who evaluated the therapy.
- The Company will demand the reassessment process to be conducted with absolute impartiality, equality and transparency by the EMA.
