Overview
On 10 June 2024, the European Commission withdrew the marketing authorisation for Lymphoseek (tilmanocept) in the European Union (EU). The withdrawal was at the request of the marketing authorisation holder, Navidea Biopharmaceuticals Europe Ltd., which notified the European Commission of its decision to permanently discontinue the marketing of the product for commercial reasons.
Lymphoseek was granted marketing authorisation in the EU on 19 November 2014 for use in the delineation and localisation of lymph nodes. The marketing authorisation was initially valid for a 5-year period. It was granted unlimited validity in 2019.
The European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) for Lymphoseek is updated to indicate that the marketing authorisation is no longer valid.
