When Xiapex available in UE?

[Arrecife]

Hello everybody:

Does anybody know when Xiapex (xiaflex) is going to be available in UE?

In European Medicines Agency web, it is listed as pending approval since december 18th 2014, but I´ve read that there are some problems about it. I visit every day that web, but the status doesn´t change...

It is a bit frustraiting to read the benefits of Xiaflex and being unable to access it.

If anybody knows something about it, that information would be very valuable.

Best regards.

Make a google search to find a doctor injecting Xiapex. You can ask also Dr. Kuehass if he is making this treatment.
It was approved by the EU commission at January 20, 2015:
Xiapex approved by the EU Commission for the treatment of Peyronie's disease Stockholm Stock Exchange:BVT
So I suppose by now you will find a few doctors/clinics.

Maybe an idea to also make a xiapex trial topic ? So we can know if any Europeans are starting? In the Netherlands I am facing headwinds from urologists that are maybe afraid of new treatments or so, I don't know.. Also the insurance is not cooperating yet but I will go into discussions with them as there are other medicine treatments for other diseases far more expensive, while these shots of xiapex could be a one time investment and the psychological damage in my opinion outweighs this relatively small amount.
