About Yargesa
Yargesa is a generic version of Actelion Registration Ltd's Zavesca® (100mg miglustat capsules) and is intended for treatment of adult patients with mild to moderate type 1 Gaucher disease. Bioequivalence of Yargesa was demonstrated through an in-vivo bioequivalence study against the reference product Zavesca® currently marketed in the EU. The Marketing Authorisation application was submitted to the EMA by JensonR+ Limited as applicant on behalf of Edenbridge and the final decision from the European Commission is expected within a few months. When approved, Yargesa will be the first generic version of Zavesca® approved through the centralized procedure for sale in all EMA member states.
