On June 26, Janssen filed a marketing authorization application with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to seek approval for a single tablet combination therapy (STCT) containing macitentan and tadalafil, intended for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Macitentan 10 mg and tadalafil 40 mg STCT is a therapy that combines the Endothelin Receptor Antagonist (ERA) macitentan, and the PDE-5 inhibitor (PDE5i) tadalafil. This is the first and only single tablet combination therapy to be submitted for review in Europe for pulmonary arterial hypertension.
The application to the EMA follows a new drug application submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2023 (see our article at this link)
