Overview
On 24 January 2006 the European Commission issued a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union for the medicinal product Exubera, human insulin, 1 mg and 3 mg inhalation powder for inhalation use, which had been approved for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. The marketing authorisation holder (MAH) responsible for Exubera was Pfizer Limited.
The European Commission was notified by letter dated 26 June 2008 of the MAH’s decision to voluntarily withdraw the marketing authorisation for Exubera for commercial reasons.
On 26 September 2008 the European Commission issued a decision to withdraw the marketing authorisation for Exubera.
Pursuant to this decision the European Public Assessment Report for Exubera is updated to reflect that the marketing authorisation is no longer valid.
