EMA: EMA recommends treatment for rare cancer in children

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has recommended granting a marketing authorisation for Unituxin (dinutuximab) for the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that most often occurs in young children. Unituxin is to be used in children who have responded to an induction treatment with chemotherapy, followed by myeloablative therapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation.
