Summary of evidence and Expert Committee recommendations
Following the review of the age-appropriateness of formulations on the EMLc, the Expert Committee recommended the addition of new strength formulations of adalimumab (injection 10 mg/0.2 mL and 20 mg/0.4 mL) to the EMLc.
Listing of adalimumab for the indication of juvenile idiopathic arthritis was transferred from Section 8.1 (Immunomodulators for non-malignant disease) to Section 29.3 (Juvenile joint diseases).
