Novo Nordisk A/S won backing from a European Union advisory panel for a hemophilia A medicine, a step forward in the Danish company’s plan to expand treatment offerings for the blood-clotting disorder.
Turoctocog alfa was recommended by the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, Novo Nordisk said in an e-mailed statement today. The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, usually follows the panel’s recommendation. The treatment, to be sold under the brand name NovoEight, is also under review in the U.S.
