Outcome of a procedure under Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2008
On 18 May 2017, the European Medicines Agency completed an arbitration procedure for Cardioxane (dexrazoxane powder for solution for injection). The Agency had been asked to arbitrate on the removal of the contraindication for children and adolescents treated with high cumulative doses of cancer medicines called anthracyclines. Its Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) concluded that such a removal is acceptable. The contraindication should however remain in children and adolescents who are given lower cumulative doses of anthracyclines.
