Our Products
Eisai positions "neurology" and "oncology" as two strategically important areas where we can discover "Ricchi", areas where patients true needs remain unmet and we can become a front-runner. Accordingly, we are promoting drug discovery activities in these two areas.
In addition, Eisai is committed to maximizing value for patients by developing additional formulations / expanding indications of our four global brands: Halaven®, Lenvima®, Fycompa®, and BELVIQ®.
In the neurology area, our in-house discovered and developed antiepileptic drug Fycompa® is available in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, and was launched in Japan in May 2016. Aricept® was first launched in January 1997 in the United States and is now approved in over 90 countries worldwide. Moreover, as a leading pharmaceutical company in the development of dementia treatments, we are also expanding our activities to promote early diagnosis and early treatment of dementia. In Japan, Aricept® was additionally approved for the treatment of dementia with Lewy bodies in September 2014.
Regarding our antiobesity agent BELVIQ® in the United States, in addition to the original twice-daily formulation, a new once-daily formulation BELVIQ XR® was launched in October 2016.
In the oncology area, Halaven®, a novel anticancer agent discovered and developed in-house, has been approved for the treatment of breast cancer and malignant soft tissue sarcoma in over 60 countries, including Japan, the United States, in Europe, and in Asia. Lenvima®, another anticancer agent discovered and developed in-house, has been approved for the treatment of thyroid cancer in over 50 countries, including Japan, the United States, in Europe, and in Asia. Additionally, it has been approved for combination therapy with everolimus for renal cell carcinoma in the United States and Europe in May 2016 and September 2016 respectively.
