The European Medicines Agency’s human medicines committee (CHMP) recommended seven novel medicines for approval at its June 2022 meeting, including the first gene therapy for hemophilia A.

US pharma major Eli Lilly’s (NYSE: LLY) Rayvow (lasmiditan), intended for the treatment of migraine in adults, received a positive opinion from the CHMP. It is estimated that approximately 15% of the EU population suffers from migraine, according to the EMA.
