Information and Explanation of the Issuer to this News:
The positive CHMP opinion for Byfavo(R) (remimazolam) is based on the clinical program in procedural sedation in adult patients undergoing bronchoscopy or colonoscopy. Remimazolam was approved in China and in the U.S. in July 2020 for the induction and maintenance of procedural sedation in adults.
Remimazolam is also in development for general anesthesia in Europe, and was approved in Japan and South Korea for general anesthesia. Assuming approval in procedural sedation by the European Commission, PAION plans to submit an extension of the marketing authorization for remimazolam for general anesthesia based on the recently announced positive EU Phase III data.
