Overview
The European Medicines Agency has completed a review of the clinical studies that were submitted as part of the marketing authorisation application of the hybrid (a type of generic) medicinal products Novosis Goserelin, Goserelin Cell Pharm, Novimp and associated names (goserelin, 3.6 mg implant).
The Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has concluded that these medicines have not be shown to be equivalent to the reference medicine (Zoladex) and therefore the marketing authorisation should be suspended until therapeutic equivalence has been demonstrated.
