Withdrawn
On 4 February 2021, the European Commission withdrew the marketing authorisation for Udenyca (pegfilgrastim) in the European Union (EU). The withdrawal was at the request of the marketing authorisation holder, ERA Consulting GmbH, which notified the European Commission of its decision not to market the product in the EU for commercial reasons.
Udenyca was granted marketing authorisation in the EU on 21 September 2018 for treatment of neutropenia. The marketing authorisation was initially valid for a 5-year period. Udenyca is a biosimilar of Neulasta, which is authorised in the EU to treat neutropenia.
The European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) for Udenyca is updated to indicate that the marketing authorisation is no longer valid.
