At its meeting held at the end of August and the beginning of September 2016, the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) discussed the ongoing Article-31 referral procedure for retinoid medicines.

PRAC continued the review within two Article-20 procedures (review of SGLT2 inhibitors and direct-acting antivirals for treatment of hepatitis C) as well as within three Article-31 referral procedures (review of factor VIII medicines, review of gadolinium-containing contrast agents and review of modified- and prolonged-release paracetamol medicines).

The PRAC did not initiate or conclude a referral at this meeting.
