Overview

The marketing authorisation for Optimark (gadoversetamide) expired on 25 July 2017 following the decision of the marketing authorisation holder, Guerbet, not to apply for a renewal of the marketing authorisation. 

Optimark was granted marketing authorisation in the European Union (EU) on 23 July 2007 for use with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the central nervous system and the liver. The marketing authorisation was valid for a 5-year period. It was subsequently renewed for an additional 5-year period in 2012. 

The European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) for Optimark is updated accordingly to reflect the fact that the marketing authorisation is no longer valid.
