On 22 February 2024, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion recommending a change to the terms of the marketing authorisation for the medicinal product Xromi. The marketing authorisation holder for this medicinal product is Nova Laboratories Ireland Limited.
The CHMP adopted an extension to the existing indication to include prevention of sickle cell disease complications in infants from 9 months of age.
For information, the full indication will therefore be as follows1:

Detailed recommendations for the use of this product will be described in the updated summary of product characteristics (SmPC), which will be published in the revised European public assessment report (EPAR), and will be available in all official European Union languages after a decision on this change to the marketing authorisation has been granted by the European Commission.
