The European Medicines Agency says that its PRIority Medicines (PRIME) scheme has had a positive impact on the authorization of new medicines that address patients’ unmet medical needs.

The time to marketing authorization was reduced for medicines that benefitted from PRIME support, giving patients earlier access to transformative treatments that can make a real difference to their health.

The EMA launched the PRIME scheme in March 2016 to support the development of medicines that are expected to benefit patients with no current treatment options for their disease or offer a major therapeutic advantage over existing treatments. The scheme provides early and enhanced scientific and regulatory support to promising medicines.
