On 22 September 2025 the marketing authorisation of Celdoxome pegylated liposomal (doxorubicin) ceased to be valid in the European Union (EU).
The cessation of validity is due to the fact that the marketing authorisation holder, Baxter Holding B.V., had not marketed Celdoxome pegylated liposomal in the EU since its initial marketing authorisation. In accordance with provisions of the sunset clause1, the marketing authorisation of the medicinal product lapsed as the product had not been marketed in any of the EU Member States within three years of its initial authorisation.
Baxter Holding B.V. confirmed that the product had not been marketed due to business reasons.
