Overview
On 21 February 2025, the marketing authorisation of Ontilyv (opicapone) ceased to be valid in the European Union (EU).
The cessation of validity is due to the fact that the marketing authorisation holder, Bial Portela & Ca. S.A., had not marketed Ontilyv in the EU since its initial marketing authorisation. In accordance with provisions of the sunset clause1, the marketing authorisation of a medicinal product lapsed if the product had not been marketed in any EU Member State within three years of its initial authorisation.
Bial Portela & Ca. S.A. confirmed that the product had not been marketed due to commercial reasons.
Ontilyv was granted marketing authorisation in the EU on 21 February 2022 for use as adjunctive therapy to preparations of levodopa/ DOPA decarboxylase inhibitors in adults with Parkinson’s disease and end-of-dose motor fluctuations who cannot be stabilised on those combinations.
The marketing authorisation was initially valid for a 5-year period.
Ontilyv was a duplicate application to Ongentys, which is marketed throughout the European Union. The marketing authorisation holder will maintain the marketing authorisation for Ongentys.
The European public assessment report for Ontilyv has been updated to reflect that the marketing authorisation is no longer valid.
1 Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 ("sunset clause")
