The European Medicines Agency confirmed that Novartis withdrew its application for Rasival (aliskiren/valsartan) for the treatment of essential hypertension in patients whose blood pressure is adequately controlled through separate but concurrent dosing of the drug's two components.
In its letter, the drugmaker said its decision not to pursue approval of the drug was based on its inability to address requests from the agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use and provide additional data within the allowed timeframe.
