Cephalon receives European approval for cancer pain drug

Cephalon has reported that the European Commission has granted marketing authorization for Effentora, a buccal tablet formulation of fentanyl, for the treatment of breakthrough cancer pain in adult patients who are already receiving maintenance opioid therapy for chronic pain.

The approval allows Cephalon to market Effentora in the 27 member states of the EU, as well as Iceland and Norway.

Alain Aragues, president of Cephalon Europe, said: “Cephalon continues to build its presence in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and activities are ongoing to make Effentora available quickly in the EU member countries.”
