Review of designation
During its meeting of 10-11 July 2012, the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) reviewed the designation EU/3/01/077 for Revestive (teduglutide)1 as an orphan medicinal product for the treatment of short-bowel syndrome. The COMP assessed whether, at the time of marketing authorisation, the medicinal product still met the criteria for orphan designation. The Committee looked at the seriousness and prevalence of the condition, and the existence of other satisfactory methods of treatment. The COMP recommended that the orphan designation of the medicine be maintained2.
1 At time of orphan designation teduglutide was known as [gly2]-recombinant human glucagon-like peptide.
2 The maintenance of the orphan designation at time of marketing authorisation would, except in specific situations, give an orphan medicinal product 10 years of market exclusivity in the European Union (EU). This means that in the 10 years after its authorisation, similar products with a comparable therapeutic indication cannot be placed on the market.
