In 2025, EMA recommended 104 medicines for marketing authorisation. Of these, 38 had a new active substance which had never been authorised in the European Union (EU) before. This includes medicines representing important innovation or contribution to public health, such as the first medicine to treat non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, a first-in-class treatment to delay the onset of stage 3 type 1 diabetes in children and adults, and the first oral medicine to treat postpartum depression following childbirth.
