S-P withdraws Cylatron MAA

29 March 2009

US drug major Schering-Plough has withdrawn its application for a centralized marketing authorization for Cylatron (peginterferon  alfa-2b), 200mcg/0.5ml, 300mcg/0.5ml and 600mcg/ml.

The agent was expected to be used for the adjuvant treatment of patients  with stage III melanoma as evidenced by microscopic, non-palpable nodal  involvement.

The application for the marketing authorization for Cylatron was  submitted to the EMEA on September 7, 2007. At the time of the  withdrawal, it was under review by the Agency's Committee for Medicinal  Products for Human Use (CHMP).
