European regulators described their skepticism about the data behind Amgen’s Tavneos (avacopan) in newly released documents, explaining the rationale for pulling the drug from the market in Europe.

The outcome leaves Amgen facing additional strategic pressure as companies adjust regulatory submissions, conduct supplemental analyses, or pivot to alternative evidence packages.
