28.10.2016
At the meeting held in October 2016, the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) adopted a list of outstanding issues to be addressed by the marketing-authorisation holders within Article-20 procedures for direct-acting antivirals for treatment of hepatitis C and for SGLT2 inhibitors, and within Article-31 referral procedures for factor VIII medicines and modified- and prolonged-release paracetamol medicines. The PRAC continued the review within Article-31 referral procedures for gadolinium-containing contrast agents and retinoid medicines.
The PRAC did not initiate or conclude a referral at this meeting.
The PRAC also focused on the broad spectrum of its responsibilities which cover all aspects of the risk management of the use of medicines.
