A missed opportunity to acknowledge EU’s dependency on U.S. plasma
December 17, 2021 (Brussels, Belgium) — The Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) regrets that the publication of the European Commission report, “Study on medicine shortages,” does not include plasma, which is a biological starting material for the manufacture of lifesaving plasma-derived medicinal products (PDMPs). PDMP availability is primarily dependent on volumes of plasma collected, which are currently insufficient to meet the needs of EU patients.
