Oslo, Norway - [2025.04.01] - Navamedic is pleased to announce that the European
Medicines Agency's (EMA) human medicines committee (CHMP) has concluded its
review of Mysimba (naltrexone/bupropion), affirming that the benefits of the
medicine continue to outweigh its risks for weight management in adults with
obesity or overweight.
The CHMP has determined that there are no cardiovascular safety concerns for
Mysimba when used for up to 12 months. The CHMP has agreed that an ongoing
safety study with Mysimba in patients with obesity or overweight is appropriate
to generate evidence about this risk in the long term.
The ongoing safety study, INFORMUS, which is set to provide results by 2028,
will offer valuable insights into the long-term cardiovascular safety of
Mysimba. Annual reports will be submitted to ensure continuous evaluation and
transparency.
Navamedic will continue to work closely with healthcare providers to ensure that
they are informed of updated guidelines. Healthcare providers should carry out
an annual assessment of their patients whether Mysimba remains beneficial for
them.
Kathrine Gamborg Andreassen, CEO of Navamedic, commented on the review: "We are
encouraged by the CHMP's conclusion that Mysimba remains a beneficial option for
weight management. At Navamedic, patient safety is our utmost priority, and we
are committed to contribute to and ensure the long-term safety and efficacy of
Mysimba."
