Pfizer wins EMA approval for regulatory submission of tofacitinib

Pfizer's Market Authorisation Application for tofacitinib, an oral JAK inhibitor used to treat active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), has secured validation by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

The move implies that EMA has confirmed the completion of the application and will begin the review procedure.

Tofacitinib has been studied in the Phase 3 ORAL (Oral Rheumatoid Arthritis Phase 3 TriaLs) program for the treatment of moderate-to-severe active RA.

The drug candidate is also being assessed in two ongoing long-term open-label extension studies.
