EIDIA Co., Ltd.
爱豆传媒. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Representative Corporate Officer and CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) and its diagnostics subsidiary EIDIA Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, President: Atsushi Saito, “EIDIA”) announced today that EIDIA will launch Panassay® IV-C [Latex], a measurement reagent kit for in-vitro diagnostic use, in Japan on July 2, 2014. The reagent kit is used for determining human type IV collagen in serum.
Panassay IV-C [Latex] had been marketed since January 2003 by Sekisui Medical Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, President: Hideo Tagashira), which has granted an exclusive marketing license of the product to EIDIA. As such, the products will now be marketed by EIDIA, and Eisai will assist with co-promotional activities under agreement with EIDIA.
In liver fibrosis, basement membrane forms in the perisinusoidal space and the amount of type IV collagen (a major element in the bloodstream) increases as the condition progresses. Measurement of type IV collagen in serum is used to assist in assessing the level of progression of hepatic fibrosis as well as diagnosing cirrhosis, deciding a treatment regimen for Hepatitis C and predicting the risk of carcinogenesis.
By introducing the value of Panassay IV-C [Latex] to a wider audience through this co-promotion initiative, Eisai and EIDIA aim to contribute further to increasing the benefits for patients with chronic liver disease and their families.
