  • April 18, 2007 Press Release Ajinomoto Co., Inc. Eisai Co., Ltd
    April 18, 2007 Press Release Ajinomoto Co., Inc. Eisai Co., Ltd. Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited A ONCE-WEEKLY FORMULATION OF RISEDRONATE SODIUM HYDRATE, AN ANTIOSTEOPOROTIC AGENT, WAS APPROVED. Ajinomoto Co., Inc. (“Ajinomoto”, President and CEO: Norio Yamaguchi, Headquarters: Tokyo) and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”, President: Yasuchika Hasegawa, Headquarters: Osaka) are pleased to announce that the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved today “ActonelⓇ 17.5 mg tablets” and “BenetⓇ 17.5 mg tablets”, a once-weekly formulation of risedronate sodium hydrate (generic name) for the treatment of osteoporosis. Both Ajinomoto and Takeda own the drug manufacturing approval of above products while Eisai Co., Ltd. (“Eisai”, President and CEO: Haruo Naito, Headquarters: Tokyo) will distribute “ActonelⓇ 17.5 mg tablets” supplied by Ajinomoto, and Takeda will distribute “BenetⓇ 17.5 mg tablets” respectively.

This agent has two distinctive features from other antiosteoporotics: In the additional analysis of large clinical trials, vertebral and non-vertebral bone fractures suppressing effects of this agent showed statistically significant difference as compared to placebo as early as 6 months after starting administration. In large clinical trials with the primary endpoint of the reduction of frequency of hip fractures, this agent showed statistically significant difference as compared to placebo. The once-weekly formulation of risedronate sodium hydrate was approved in 2002 in the United States and now are being approved in more than 80 countries around the world.

  • EA Pharma Filed Marketing Approval Application for AJM300 (Nonproprietary Name: Carotegrast Methyl) Indicated for Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis
    May 28, 2021 EA Pharma Co., Ltd. Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Code 4574, Tokyo Stock Exchange 1st Section) EA Pharma Filed Marketing Approval Application for AJM300 (Nonproprietary Name: Carotegrast Methyl) Indicated for Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis EA Pharma Co., Ltd. (President, Yuji Matsue; Headquarters, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan; “EA Pharma”) and Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Matsumoto, Nagano; Chairman and CEO: Mutsuo Kanzawa; "Kissei") announced that EA Pharma has filed the marketing approval application in Japan for AJM300 (nonproprietary name: carotegrast methyl), which the two companies have developed for treatment of ulcerative colitis. The application was filed based on the results of Phase III clinical study (AJM300/CT3) and other studies conducted in Japan. Detailed data of AJM300/CT3 will be presented at an upcoming major medical conference this year. AJM300 is an orally available small molecule α4 integrin antagonist that was originated by EA Pharma (formerly known as Ajinomoto Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.). EA Pharma and Kissei have jointly developed AJM300 since 2015, aiming to launch the world-first orally available α4 integrin antagonist onto the market. In ulcerative colitis, lymphocytes and other inflammatory cells excessively aggregate and invade into the inflamed site in the colonic mucosa. AJM300 can antagonize both α4β1 and α4β7 integrins expressed on the surface of inflammatory cells and inhibit the cell adhesion mediated by binding to adhesion molecules excessively expressed on the vascular endotherial cells in the colonic mucosa, which suppresses invasion of lymphocytes into the inflamed site to exert anti-inflammation effects. EA Pharma and Kissei strive to quickly provide AJM300 for clinical use to increase treatment options for ulcerative colitis to contribute to QOL of patiens and their families.
