Overview
On 30 January 2018, the European Commission withdrew the marketing authorisation for LeukoScan (sulesomab) in the European Union (EU). The withdrawal was at the request of the marketing authorisation holder, Immunomedics GmbH, which notified the European Commission of its decision to permanently discontinue the marketing of the product for commercial reasons.
LeukoScan was granted marketing authorisation in the EU on 14 February 1997 for diagnostic imaging in suspected osteomyelitis. The marketing authorisation was initially valid for a 5-year period. It was subsequently renewed for an additional 5-year period in year 2002. It was then granted unlimited validity in 2007.
The European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) for LeukoScan is updated accordingly to reflect the fact that the marketing authorisation is no longer valid.
