The CHMP has Adopted a Negative Opinion for Omburtamab for the Treatment of CNS/LM Metastasis from Neuroblastoma in Europe
"This recommendation by the CHMP is disappointing given the significant unmet medical need, which exists for patients with CNS/LM neuroblastoma who have no approved therapies available. CHMP considered that it was not possible to conclude on the effectiveness of omburtamab as the main study did not have a randomized comparator. The company does not believe it is feasible to conduct a randomized study in a life-threatening disease where no other approved therapy is available to these children," said
