EMA recommends revocation of authorisation for sickle cell disease medicine Adakveo
26 May 2023 - The EMA’s CHMP has recommended revoking the marketing authorisation for Adakveo (crizanlizumab), a medicine for preventing painful crises (called vaso-occlusive crises) in patients aged 16 years and older with sickle cell disease.
This follows a review by the CHMP, which concluded that the benefits of the medicine did not outweigh its risks.
