[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jihwan] Celltrion announced on the 5th that it has officially submitted a marketing authorization application to the European Medicines Agency for its COVID-19 treatment (CT-P59).


The treatment target is adult patients aged 18 and older who have been confirmed positive for COVID-19. These patients do not require supplemental oxygen and are at high risk of progressing to severe illness.



However, the Korea Exchange stated that the application for approval of the clinical trial drug does not guarantee the final approval decision by the regulatory authorities. There is a possibility that the results during the approval review process may not meet expectations, and accordingly, the company may change or abandon its commercialization plans.
