PFE/BMY—CHMP approves Eliquis for VTE treatment and secondary prevention:

In this same indication, Eliquis has an FDA PDUFA date of 8/24/14 (#msg-95178866).

Competitor, Xarelto has been approved for VTE treatment and secondary prevention in the US (#msg-81103054) and EU (#msg-80711606) since late 2012 and thus has a pretty big head start in this new indication for Eliquis.

Both drugs are approved in multiple jurisdictions for AF/stroke prevention and for primary VTE prevention following orthopedic surgery. Xarelto is also approved for ACS in the EU (#msg-88290069) but not the US (#msg-97335112).
